For my good good friend, Gourmet_Mom aka Daphne..
During Chinese new year here in Singapore, everyone makes a bee line queue at many such shops that sells these BBQ pork. It costs S$40/US$28.00 per kilogram. This year, I ordered a carton(about 5kg) from the frozen meat supplier and decided to make my own to serve family and friends.
It proved to be a hit with everyone.
The local name of this snack is called Bak Kwa which means Dried Pork or Preserved Pork.
