Bengawan Solo (Tiong Bahru Plaza)

Where can i find a large varieties of kuehs in Singapore? Whenever i felt like having some sweet kueh, the first shop that came to my mind is definitely this shop -- Bengawan Solo.

I just loved the varieties of kuehs that are offered there (its quite alot as compared to the normal bakery shop). Whenever, i am near any bengawan solo outlet, i will definitely be there to grab a few pieces of kueh back home.

Recently, i just received a piece of Bengawan solo voucher. Of course, i was extremely happy upon receiving them as this means that i can have more kuehs without paying a cent.

I went down to the bengawan solo outlet near noon as that is the time where the delivery of fresh kuehs will arrived. Sure enough, when i reach there, the staffs are packing the kuehs onto the display plates.

I picked up the following kuehs for my family: 1 ) Kueh Ambon 2 ) Binka Ubi 3 ) Nagasari 4 ) Ongol Ubi 5 ) Kueh Dadar 6 ) Kueh Salat 7 ) Getuk Getuk 8 ) Lapis Sagu 9 ) Harum Manis 10 ) Durian Pukis

Of all the kuehs that i have picked, i loved the Kueh Ambon the best (although their Lapis Sagu is the most popular item). Reason of liking the Ambon is definitely the chewy texture and of course the sweety taste.

However, there are times where i got a Ambon with its bottom in a very black colour (which i do not like it). Usually when the ambon is in that colour, it will taste bitter when eating that particular part. So, what i will do is to cut away the bottom, to avoid having the bitter taste mixing with the sweet taste.

Overall, i think this is not a bad place to fix my craving of kuehs. As for the service skill, i believe the staffs would have fare better if you would put on a smile on their face.

As for the handling of kuehs portion, i like the way that they handle the kuehs themselves rather than letting the customer to choose it themselves. This would highly avoid the kuehs to become soggy after some time.
