    I'd discovered this shop before coming to Penang, but hadn't heard of it before, so I hadn't tried it! Later, I saw a recommendation from a long-time customer, so I made a special trip to buy some this time.

    Bought 300g of pork jerky and went for the tough/hard one. Lady was very friendly. Very nice. Good buy.

    This is by far the best bak kwa I ever had in my life. If only the masses know that eating lard is healthy(see ketosis), this would be the diet of choice. Went at 1pm and they were completely sold out!
