Buy the plain flavour bak gua lah. They are cheaper. That
extra $2/- for the chilli on the bak gua is no use.
Just spread chilli sauce onto your plain flavour bak guas on
breads is good. So is dipping the bak guas in fresh mayonaise
or cream cheese. Dont buy those prepacked with cheesed
novelty bak gua individual types. Waste of your space in your
luggage.
Try the Sinapore 'fei Siong' deep fried fish cakes and
balls. You dont get that in Socal. And if you can
manage to smuggle them back to Socal, can set up your own Bak Chor
Mee meals.
Also, remember to pack instant meepoks and mee gorengs.
