Stopped eating luncheon meat years ago. all preserved meat are cancerous

but bee hoon and fish cake still ok

Only luncheon meat from Tiongland.

Side note: the price of pork has escalated in Tiongland due to the trade war and the African swine flu. Things will get really interesting when CNY arrives.

I recommend Bobo frozen chicken luncheon meat. It does not appear to have harmful nitrates and taste is very good.

Those Malaysian brands Luncheon Meat, gets their meat from China, like Highway etc. Looks like Maling is not safe anymore. Spam, I love, but refrain from eating these days, very saltish. Tulip brand very expensive.

Eat vegetables, whenever I can...skip the luncheon meat.

Aiyo .. fried eggs with bitter gourd is already tasty and nutritious.. no need to add any other stuff.

Another simple, nutritious and tasty dish is fried eggs with tomatoes. Goes well with plain rice or bread!

it tastes better with seaweed, afro swine fever or not. the neatly wrapped jap style nigiri is too sterile. must try the more bushy seaweed with diced luncheon meat and sextra tua kee mushroom.
