Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: Bengawan Solo remains a go-to for traditional kueh, with many reviewers praising the consistent quality and variety of their offerings.

The ang ku kueh, kueh lapis, and tapioca brown sugar squares are frequently highlighted for their softness and taste.

However, we note a recurring theme of dissatisfaction regarding customer service across multiple outlets, including this one.

Several reports describe staff as rude or curt, particularly when asked about the availability of items.

Additionally, some customers have experienced delays in the availability of traditional cakes, with one reviewer noting a wait until almost 11am despite an 8:30am opening.

While the pandan cheese slices are mentioned, there's a concern about their shrinking size relative to the $2.80 price point.

We'd recommend visiting later in the morning to ensure a full selection, but be prepared for potentially unenthusiastic service.

It's a reliable option for traditional treats, but not for a pleasant service experience.
