Everyone knows this, and the price is the same as the Chinatown branch. I purchased it twice. Once it was sealed, and the other time I requested it to be sealed, but I only received a sealed plastic packaging, and was told to take care of it. The quality of service is a bit disappointing.

Sells expensive meat brisket — nothing fantastic.

I visited this shop on the afternoon of January 24th. I bought one 1kg packet and two 500g packets of sliced pork bak kwa. The next morning, I brought all the bak kwa back to my office and distributed it to my colleagues as a treat. Two weeks later, one of my colleagues told me that they found the bak kwa was moldy when they opened it on January 25th. I checked with my other colleagues who had the 500g packets, and they also found it moldy. The 1kg packet did not have this issue. My colleagues did not dare to provide feedback to me immediately when they found the bak kwa moldy, as they felt it would be impolite to do so. I felt very bad that my colleagues received moldy bak kwa that I had intended as a treat. I hope Bee Cheng Hiang needs to review their packaging, as only the 500g packets had this mold issue immediately the next day.

On November 5th at 9 PM, I visited this store. There was one young male staff member standing at the storefront while we waited to be served. I approached him and asked if the store was closed, as he was just standing there and didn't even bother to ask if we needed anything. He proceeded to tell me he did not speak English. Seriously, are you kidding me?! I was in a rush and didn't have time to pursue it further. I know it was close to your closing time, but this is not how you treat a customer. I would give zero stars to this store if I could.

I went to this store yesterday. I bought a 1kg pack and a 3-piece pack of Applewood bakkwa. They couldn't find a good quality box, so they just used a 1kg display box. The three pieces of bak kwa were packed only in a small paper bag, folded up, with no vacuum packing or individual plastic bag. They just put everything in a big paper bag. The 3-piece pack made the box greasy. I was really disappointed with their packaging and won't be going to this store again.

I was craving Gourmet Bak kwa and purchased 500g from this outlet. I was sorely disappointed. Despite paying a premium, the pieces were so dry and tough. The fat ratio was such that it barely resembled 'bacon'. They used to be my trusted brand for a quick Bak kwa craving, but standards have dropped terribly. Nothing worse than a craving left unsatisfied. Edit: They reached out to me to find out more about the substandard Bak kwa I bought and offered a replacement. I chose to receive the replacement from their main store at Serangoon, where the product and grilling were better. So, if you see the Bak kwa looking dry in the display case, believe your eyes. As every griller is different. Overall, great service recovery. But such an incident should not happen for a trusted retail chain, as customers expect a standard across all outlets.

We called them at 7 PM and asked if they could wait for us until 9:30 PM because we needed to buy gifts from them to take home to Manila. They waited for us and even gave some freebies. We appreciate this branch of Bee Cheng Hiang very much. Thank you for the great service!
