The Fragrance brand's website describes its barbecued meats, bak kwa, and traditional Singaporean snacks, made in Singapore from time-honoured recipes with the aim of consistent quality. It says the brand began with a bak kwa stall in 1969 and now has outlets across the region.
Bak kwa shops are best judged on the balance of sweet and savoury in the meat, and on whether the slices stay soft and chewy rather than dry. Festive seasons bring queues, so ordering ahead or visiting early in the day saves time. It helps to ask for a sample before buying a large packet. Regulars often choose a favourite flavour and keep it chilled to make it last.
Bukit Batok Street 31 is a residential neighbourhood, which makes this shop a convenient place to pick up bak kwa close to home.
