A family-owned business, which only uses the finest cuts of Canadian grown beef and pork products. What BKH Jerky makes is a Singapore style beef and pork jerky that is sweet, juicy, and moist not dry, chewy, salty, or leathery like the other stuff that is out there. We make it fresh every day at our store in Vancouver. We do not add MSG, it is wheat free and gluten free, for the health-conscious people out there. We use the highest quality cuts of meat, the top round of beef and the pork cutlet. Also, the smokiness and glaze come from our last process which is that we barbecue it on a grill. BKH is short for “Bee Kim Heng” which means “Beautiful Golden Smell” in Chinese. We are in need of 1 Meat Cutter who will bring the same approach and experience to our business.
