Guess you all know what is Bak Kwa? let me tell you

"Bakkwa, or rougan is a Chinese salty-sweet dried meat product similar to jerky, made in the form of flat thin sheets. It is normally made from pork. Bakkwa is believed to have originated from a meat preservation and preparation technique used in ancient China that is still practiced in places with Hokkien influence.

In Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines bakkwa or ba gua is the most widely used name. Cantonese speakers use the term yuhk gōn', Anglicised version long yok, while in China and Taiwan the product is more commonly known as rougan. Commercially available versions are sometimes labeled as "barbecued pork," "dried pork," or "pork jerky." Bakkwa is particularly popular as a snack in Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines. In Beidou, Taiwan, it is regarded as one of the three pork delicacies."

i would have say that it is both a seasonal increase and rising of food prices. due to CNY confirm got peoples purchase Bak Kwa there for the require quality of Pork meat is increase and if there is only fix quality of pork around therefore the price of the pork meat will increasing expensive. furthermore, recently around the world there is alot of Chicken flu, and Mad cow diseases happening around.. therefore the demand for pork will increase.

i not surprise that it will increase up to 55 dollars from this weeks..
