About Us

Fragrant Jerky’s owner is a third-generation maker of authentic Singapore-style fire-grilled jerky, locally in Singapore known as Bak Kwa. He began working in the family business at the age of fifteen, helping his grandmother prepare Bak Kwa in the shops.

In 2012, Mr. Yap ventured into the U.S. and opened his first branch in Rosemead, California (east of Los Angeles). By 2018, he expanded with a second retail location in Rowland Heights, California (in San Gabriel Valley), serving customers from both Orange County and the Inland Empire.

Today, Mr. Yap remains deeply involved in the business, personally sourcing the finest meats and ingredients, supervising the preparation, and overseeing the final grilling to ensure every bite delivers the authentic, premium Bak Kwa experience our loyal and new customers expect. “They can smell and taste the quality in the final products.” - Mr. Yap, business owner.

At Fragrant Jerky, we believe great-tasting Bak Kwa begins with top-grade fresh meat and perfectly balanced ingredients that complement one another, creating a rich, harmonious flavor with layers of savory umami and irresistible aroma.
