Our take: Bengawan Solo at Changi Terminal 1 is a reliable spot for Singaporean kueh and cakes, particularly for those looking to pick up last-minute gifts for overseas friends.

The Pandan Chiffon Cake, in particular, receives consistent praise for its fragrance and freshness, often cited as a popular choice for travellers.

We note the positive feedback regarding the helpfulness and patience of the staff, especially in assisting customers with dietary restrictions by consulting allergen charts.

However, we also observe a significant concern regarding product freshness, with one customer reporting mouldy banana cake shortly after purchase.

While this appears to be an isolated incident in the provided reviews, it highlights a critical quality control issue that impacts customer trust.

The queue for specific items like the kaya sponge cake can also be confusing for travellers, as it doesn't always align with the main counter queue.

Verdict: Best for picking up well-loved Singaporean treats like the Pandan Chiffon Cake as gifts, but we'd advise checking product freshness immediately upon purchase.

Queuing for the kaya sponge cake doesn’t have to queue at the counter but it was not make aware to the travellers. Food quality is still good.
