CNY goodies gone bad: Bak kwa and chocolates turn mouldy before expiry date

STOMPers found their mood for the Chinese New Year gone when they discovered goodies like bak kwa and chocolates had gone mouldy before their expiry dates.

Said STOMPer almak:

"美珍香but not 香anymore.

"When I was going to eat the ba kwa my cousin bought for my family, I found out that there was mould growing on the ba kwa.

"The ba kwa has ruined my CNY mood.

"As this was a gift from my cousin, I've no idea what should I do with it now."

STOMPer nanette also received a gift of chocolates. She said:

"I received a chocolate gift from a friend.

"When I opened it, digusting mouldy chocolate was seen!

"Yucks! And the expiry date is 030213!"

Maybe the chocolate was not mouldy. It could be "blooming", a phenomenon that occurs to chocolate at times. Some manufacturers will even put a piece of paper in the boxes, informing consumers about it.

The bak kwa are freshly barbecued and need to eat within a day or two, then better put in fridge and reheat in microwave oven when you like to eat it.

You need to warm a little with oven, that will be better taste.

It is good to know how to handle the foods and not just knowing how to eat.

Yes, better check on the goodies before eating!

I believe you did not open the bak kwa to air after you purchased.

Every year i bought from them, there is a note in package to advise "to air the bak kwa before storage" It can last for about 2 weeks....

stomp_rat said on 26 Jan, 2012 Report as offensive

it happened last year and it happened this year again....not the bak kwa mouldy but they are kept packed when hot and condensing inside. being wet it will get mouldy.
air it next time its hot when packed...
see you next year!

If you bought the bakkwa too early to save $$$, thats gonna happen. LOL.

For the chocolate, I think thats the sugar crystallizing. It happens to many brands of chocolate when kept in fridge. May not be mold.
