About Bengawan Solo
Bengawan Solo’s official history dates its first cake shop to 1979, in Marine Terrace. It describes a small neighbourhood shop where Mrs Anastasia Liew prepared cakes and kueh in the back kitchen. The name came from a song she loved about the Solo River.
This background helps explain the mix of local confectionery in the profile: pandan cake, layered cakes, kueh, cookies and pineapple tarts, alongside celebration cakes. The focus here remains the products described in the earlier article, rather than a new ranking of bakeries.
The product selection in the original profile
The earlier selection covered celebration cakes and cake rolls as well as kueh. Its examples included Kueh Bugis, Getuk Ubi, Kueh Dadar, Kueh Kosui and Talam Gula Melaka. These names show the variety discussed in the profile; check the current menu before choosing a particular item. Cake examples listed then included Strawberry & Peach, Coffee Avocado and Chocolate Banana, alongside character designs for celebration cakes.
For a visit or gift, the practical distinction is between a fresh cake or kueh selection and a pack of cookies or tarts. Consider how you will serve and store the product, how many people will share it, and the ingredients listed for the actual item you buy.
Pandan chiffon cake
The original profile highlighted a round pandan chiffon cake with a central ring and a green crumb beneath its brown outer surface. Its flavour description centred on pandan and coconut. This was a cake for slicing and sharing, a different format from individually portioned cookies or tarts.
Pandan chiffon remains one of the items named on Bengawan Solo’s official signature selection. Refer to the product listing for the pack and details available when ordering.
Pineapple tarts
The pineapple tarts in the original profile were described as pillow-shaped pastries with pineapple filling enclosed by the crust. This gives shoppers a useful format distinction from an open-faced tart, where the pineapple is visible on top.
Bengawan Solo’s official regular pineapple-tart listing describes pastry enclosing a caramelised, slow-cooked pineapple jam. Check the current listing for the pack and ordering details rather than relying on the former prices in this article.
For a separate CNYGoodies.sg enclosed-pastry option, see the French Butter Melt-in-Your-Mouth Pineapple Ball product page. The products belong to different sellers; compare their actual descriptions and packs.
Kueh lapis and prune lapis
The earlier profile also covered kueh lapis, a layered cake, and prune lapis, which adds prune pieces between the layers. It described the appeal of contrasting the cake’s many thin layers with the fruit in the prune version.
Layered cake offers another serving format: it can be cut into smaller portions for sharing, rather than given out as individual cookies. Bengawan Solo’s signature selection lists both kueh lapis and its prune version; check the current product page for the size and ingredient information that matter to your order.
The packaging described in the profile
The article’s earlier packaging descriptions included floral designs and hexagonal containers for cookies and pineapple tarts. Those details are part of the historical profile, rather than a promise that every current product uses the same tin or box.
When buying a gift, check the packaging shown for the specific item or assortment. The CNY goodies gifting guide can help you plan quantities and choose between a shared selection and individual gifts.
Storage and ordering information
Follow the storage directions and best-before date on the product you receive. Check the instructions for the specific cake, kueh, cookie or tart you buy rather than applying one shelf-life or refrigeration rule to the whole selection.
Use Bengawan Solo’s official website and store directory for ordering or collection enquiries. Confirm the preparation time, collection branch and delivery options for your particular order; the earlier profile’s three-day custom-order recommendation should not be treated as a universal current lead time.
Checking prices and seasonal selections
The cake, tart and kueh prices quoted in the November 2021 profile were earlier prices. Its Christmas log-cake references also belonged to that seasonal context. For a current purchase, compare the displayed pack size and total price on the official product page, including any delivery charge that applies to your order.
