Long queues formed outside Lim Chee Guan s Chinatown and Jewel Changi Airport outlets yesterday as shoppers rushed to do some last-minute shopping for bak kwa.
Some joined the queues as early as 8am, although the outlets open after 9am.
Lim Chee Guan said it opened its stores on Monday to walk-in customers after all its barbecue products were sold out online, and will continue to sell its bak kwa until today, or while stocks last.
In response to queries from The Straits Times, a spokesman said yesterday that it had received requests from customers to produce more bak kwa after its online orders closed.

Patience paid off to the tune of more than half a million for a 58-year-old Singaporean man who regularly bets on Toto.
The day was Dec 16, 2017. I was on my way to work when I decided to stop by an NTUC outlet at Dawson Place to place my regular $1 Toto bet for the draw on Dec 18, 2017.
As I often bet (two times a week, for each draw), my habit was to check all my tickets at one go, once every two months.
Fast forward to February 2018, I decided to dig all my bets out and check them online. Now, I don’t exactly remember which day it was, but it was close to 11pm when I had just two or three slips left.
