Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Bengawan Solo is a long-standing establishment known for its traditional cakes and kuehs.

We see consistent praise for the quality and variety of their offerings, with many reviewers highlighting their cakes as perennial favourites for celebrations.

The pandan chiffon cake, in particular, is frequently mentioned, though some recent feedback notes a perceived reduction in size and flavour intensity, alongside price increases.

The corn kueh also receives specific mention, with a recent recipe change adding a pandan flavour.

We note the convenience of its location within Hougang Mall, offering a wide selection of whole cakes and kuehs, some of which contain alcohol, a detail worth noting for specific dietary needs or for children.

Overall, it remains a reliable choice for traditional treats and celebratory cakes.

Verdict: A solid option for traditional cakes and kuehs, especially for gifting or special occasions, but be aware of recent changes in portion size and pricing.

My fav corn kueh is back, seems to have a slight pandan flavour now. Earlier version of the corn kueh I bought used to be white and not green.

Agree with other reviewers that size shrink and yet price went up. I dont remember that the last time this chiffon pandan slice is cut so thin. Its super light weight now. I bearly tasted any pandan.
