A yearly affair for my sister and I during Lunar New Year! We tried a few brands of bakkwa and ultimately came to like this the best. Decided to support and have it every year for lunar new year until a better/healthier one could be found hehe:) so far, this seems the healthiest that we have tried. It has the most resemblance in terms of the sauce to the actual bakkwa. And as the ingredients are pretty natural, we stuck to this:) although it's on the hefty side, we took it as a treat every once a year:)

A nice and unique snack. But does not taste like ba kwa. If you want something closer to ba kwa, you might have better luck with those made with mock meat. Overhyped.
Super original. Tempeh bakwa - who would’ve thunk? Tasted pretty close to the real deal sans the animal suffering of course!
Tastes rather sweet but definitely still a pleasure to have!
Thin slices of tempeh made using organic and non-GMO soybeans. Had to be heated up, otherwise the tempeh was kind of raw and separated from the sauce. Air-frying the tempeh bakkwa helped the sauce caramelise and made the edges slightly charred. Friends, family, and myself found the sauce too sweet and lacking savouriness / smokiness; not sure if it's because we ate this in 2022 when there was a new allium-free sauce. Nonetheless the texture had a nice bite, and the product was high in protein and probiotics. Overall an interesting healthy snack, but expensive and somewhat overhyped since it was nowhere near bakkwa - a friend actually commented that it felt like a granola bar. Might try again in the future if the recipe for the sauce is improved! ($170.58 / 3 boxes during early bird promo)
