Bak kwa has roots in ancient China, where families preserved meat by grilling and airdrying it, often saving it for special occasions. Over time, this evolved into the tender, charcoal-grilled slices we know today. Because meat was considered a luxury in the past, Bak kwa became associated with prosperity and abundance, which is why it remains a popular staple during CNY. We can totally see why Bak kwa is an ultimate go-to CNY snack for our driver-partners! One of the driver-partners we spoke to tell us that eating Bak kwa gives him strength to work!
