Never would I imagined making my own bakkwa until my good friend showed me how when I visited her in Sydney several years ago. From then on, I never buy bakkwa from the store anymore. I love Bakkwa; I find it so versatile, you can chopped it and put in your fried rice or in steamed glutinous rice or even in bread. I loved it best in my sandwiches.

Hi Veronica
ReplyDeleteI used to called this "Loong Yoke" (Dragon Meat) too back when I was still staying in Kampar. Until my friends in KL all laughed at me...aah? Dragon Meat? Now, I just switch to called it "Yoke Korn". You done yours looking for beautiful Ang Ang colour. You are really early in making this already!!
Hi Mel, all these while I wasn't sure if it is called Loong Yoke or Long Yoke. Like you I just called it Yoke Korn or bak-kwa (in Hokkien), to be safe. Actually I am not making it for CNY - too early lah. Made it as a birthday gift for someone who loves pork ;)
Deletenow i am really tempted to make this... yours are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice! Looking at yours is another encouragement for me to attempt it this year :)
ReplyDeleteHi Veronica, the color of your home made bak kwa is so beautiful!! This is so tempting. Anyhow, home made is still better than the commercial ones. Thumbs up to you :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough not as nice looking as the store bought ones, but we know there's no preservatives in our homemade Bakkwa.
DeleteNothing bet homemade one. My family not fans of Bak kwa so no plan to make it. Love the colour of your Bak kwa, must be taste yummy too!
ReplyDeleteHi Veronica, your 'loong yoke' look soooo good! Save a slice for me please :)
ReplyDeleteDelicious bakkwa! My family's favourite! and we love it sandwiched between breads too!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Best wishes for a great 2014!

DeleteHi, I tried the bakkwa, but I find it hard to remove the bakkwa from the baking paper after baking it for a while, any advice how to do, tq
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I had no problem removing the Bakkwa from the baking paper. Is yours non-stick baking paper/parchment paper ?
DeleteO I c, I hv no idea, but it is the paper that we use to line baking tray. What is the different between non stick baking paper n parchment paper, I tried your pork dishes n kek lapis Indonesia, I love eating this cake n so happy that your recipe work so well. Thank you veronica for sharing
