About Bengawan Solo

Bengawan Solo Singapore, a renowned brand with a rich history spanning over 40 years, traces its humble beginnings to a small neighborhood corner store on the east coast of Singapore. Mrs. Anastasia Liew, the driving force behind this culinary venture, crafted cakes, kueh, and other delectable confections with unwavering dedication in the modest back kitchen. Inspired by a beloved song about the Solo River, the shop was aptly named Bengawan Solo (Bengawan being an old Javanese word for river).

From its inception, Bengawan Solo has grown into an established Singaporean brand synonymous with premium quality cakes and confectionery. The commitment to homemade quality remains a cornerstone of the brand, with each confection prepared in the traditional manner, using only the finest and freshest ingredients—void of artificial preservatives.

From the beloved Lapis Sagu and Ondeh Ondeh to the classic Kueh Salat, the brand offers an authentic taste of local flavors. Additionally, Asian Specialty Cakes such as Kueh Lapis and confectionaries like Pineapple Tarts further contribute to the diverse and delectable offerings.
