Desserts @ Bengawan Solo

Bengawan Solo, Rediscover the freshness of tradition.

That's their tagline. Bengeawan Solo's long been associated with kueh lapis, pandan chiffons that Asian celebrities lug back in boxes and 21st birthday cream cakes. My 21st birthday cake, the biggest in my life was courtesy of Bengawan Solo, kueh lapis every CNY is a must-have and now, their pandan chiffon that we've always had a liking for.

A couple of pandan delights courtesy of R, yet again.


Their signature red box.


The pandan chiffon cake with a hole in it! My mom commented the size of it shrunk over the years...hmm. Didn't quite notice the size per se, was distracted by the pandan fragrance that wafted up our noses upon opening the box.

The somewhat dark green colouring of the cake.



The fluffy pandan chiffon, ever so familiar. Makes eating cakes all the more enjoyable sans the calories, at least they seem healthier. Finishing it in mouthfuls made me crave for more.

No doubt one Tampopo Deli chiffon cake gets you an entire Bengawan Solo cake, Tampopo's chiffon's still got that added bounce in the chiffon.





Pandan cheese!
Another of my childhood favourites, I never knew sweet and savoury could be such a brilliant match. The cheese isn't the strong milky kind though I'm the ultimate cheese lover, somehow blending in with the light pandan cake. Slice after slice, fluffy yet seemingly not sinful. One roll can cut about 8 thick slices.

$7.90 per pandan chiffon
$6.90 per pandan cheese cake
