Bakkwa (roasted pork pieces) at a Bee Cheng Hiang store in Singapore

Bee Cheng Hiang (Chinese: 美珍香; pinyin: Měizhēnxiāng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Bí-chin-hiang) is a Singaporean company that produces Chinese-style foodstuffs, especially that of Singaporean cuisine. Starting as a market stall in 1933 in Singapore, the company has expanded its operations beyond Singapore to more than 260 retail outlets located across nine territories — Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.[1]

Its best-known product is bakkwa[2]—smoked and roasted pieces of pork with a consistency similar to jerky. Bee Cheng Hiang introduced "Gourmet Bakkwa" in 2003 (which is bacon-like slices of bakkwa), and, in 2005, the "Chilli Gourmet Bakkwa". Over the years the company has expanded its offerings to include prawn rolls, crispy pork floss, cuttlefish and sausages etc.
