Bee Kim Heng Beef & Pork Jerky

If you're a fan of beef jerky, you MUST try Bee Kim Heng!!
My favorite is the spicy beef jerky. If you go, make sure you call ahead. They only make so much a day and regardless of what time you go, there will be people lining up. At $10 a pack, it's so worth it.
It's really cute there because you always see old chinese people lining up to by $300 worth of jerky at a time, especially during Christmas time. Refer your granny there :)

If you want fresh beef jerky, this is the place to go. The shop looks like a hole in the wall, but the people that run this place are professional beef jerky experts!
It also makes a great gift because it's not easy to find this style of beef jerky and it can get pricey. Great, as I write this I have a huge craving for it. Beware, its addictive!

The best Bak Kuah I've tasted in a long time! Bak Kuah is the colloquial name for Singapore Pork Jerky. I happened to stumble on the review of Bee Kim Heng a while ago and made a point that if I made my way to Vancouver, I'd have to stop at this store. Boy, am I glad I ever did!
Authentic tasting Bak Kuah, not too sweet, just right. The black chargrilled marks on the jerky gives it that definitive taste and flavour that I remember.
Love that the lady up front at the store was grilling the pork.
That wonderful Bak Kuah smell fills the air when you walk into the store. When I purchased my pork jerky, the other lady vacuum-packed my pork jerky. Good for 2 months in the fridge, she said. I don't think it will last that long. Seriously.

It is really hard to find good pork jerky on this side of the continent. I am born and raised in Malaysia and we love our pork jerky especially during Chinese New Year. They are tender, sweet and has a distinct smoky flavor. Bee Kim Heng makes them just the way it should taste. If you are lucky, you might be able to see them grill next to the counter. This place looks a little dingy and sells nothing but jerky. They used to sell drinks and spice mix in the other corner of the shop but not anymore. But don't let the appearance put you off. The pork jerky is probably the best $20 you would spend in Vancouver. It's CASH ONLY though.

This Jerky Joint (can't call it a restaurant and I like the sound of Jerky Joint) is a hole in the wall on Fraser.
It was described to me as "if crack cocaine were jerky then it'd be this". The lady behind the counter even gave me my first taste for free. Well, after taking a good strong hit I can attest to this. This stuff is bloody tasty.
Not too sweet, chewy and with a nice grilled meat flavour I suggest the pork over the beef. I found the beef a bit too dry, but the pork was nice and tender. Almost like a damn good tender maple bacon.
Only downside is that you have to buy it by the pound which is pretty excessive. It'll leave you sitting at home on your couch with sticky fingers, an empty plastic bag, a pound of fat/meat slurry in your belly, dazed in gluttony wondering where the day went. Don't say I didn't warn you.

It's not the best Singaporean jerky I've ever had, but it's the best I've had in Vancouver.
The store is a dive so don't expect anything grand. And when entering the store don't even look at the piles of boxes and debris piled to the right.
Head to the back part of the counter where you'll find the cash register to place your order. I bought spicy pork jerky and regular pork jerk which they freshly vacuum sealed. Price was $19 per pound which is what I would expect to pay.
This type of jerky can be made two ways, one uses minced meat and the other uses slices of meat. Bee Kim Heng uses slices of meat which I find adds more texture/chewiness and is less tender.
The flavor is spot-on delicious, slightly sweet. The jerky is nicely grilled which adds that special flavor you can only get in Singaporean style jerky.
I have two more jerky places to try this week but so far Bee Kim Heng is in the lead!

I go and stock up on beef/pork jerky from Bee Kim Heng every time I'm in Vancouver. My favourite is the spicy beef. They make the jerky fresh daily. If you are buying a large order, you can call ahead and they will have it all packed up for you. It's roughly around $20 for a pound of either beef or pork jerky. You can get it in half pound portions.
This is the best tasting beef jerky I've found in Canada. The jerky is Singaporean style. Unlike western-style beef jerky, it's no where as chewy/stringy or as salty. The beef/pork jerky from Bee Kim Heng is more tender, juicy, slightly sweet but savoury and more flavourful. After trying it for the first time, I could never go back to eating the Oberto stuff or even the stuff from Tillamook.

Every time I'd come up to Vancouver, this is definitely one of the places I go to to get some delicious and fresh pork jerky. They have beef and pork jerky, which comes in spicy and non-spicy. I prefer pork jerky over beef jerky. They pack them when you order them, so it's freshly sealed.
