Pureed Broccoli Soup

Pre-cooked bacon strips are really handy.  Place it in between two slices of bread as a breakfast sandwich.  Adds flavour to your salad or baked potatoes.   Or use them in pasta cooking. 烤好的熏肉有很多用处，可夹在面包里当早餐，撕成小片放在沙拉里或放在烤马铃薯上，又或者用来煮意大利面。

Streaky Bacon on special price at Fairprice Supermarket

Bacon is preserved meat produced from pork.  Streaky bacon is usually made from pork belly while back bacon is from pork loin.

Streaky bacon has more fats and less meaty than back bacon.  We prefer streaky bacon and usually cooked it in oven to get rid of the fats.

Fairprice supermarket usually sells its house brand Streaky Bacon 200g at S$3.99.  It has about 9~10 slices in each packet.  Recently bought them at a sale price of 2 packets at S$7.15.  我常买职总平价超市自家品牌的熏肉，平日200克卖新币3.99，最近有促销，两包新币7.15。一包大概有9~10片。

As in any preserved food, salt contents may be high and moderate consumption is advised.
