Bengawan Solo (Plaza Singapura)

Gf said it was good so I got this but nah it's quite bad. Cold and lifeless, plus the crust had no crisp and the egg custard didn't stand out either

These KUEH Ko Swee are simply SWEE la! 💕 This nonya delicacy has the kind of texture I adore – a little firm, a little mochi-like, a little sticky, a little crunchy (from the grated coconut).😍😍😍 The ones from Folklore has been crowned by many as the best Kueh Ko Swee in Singapore 🌟, but since Beach Road is a bit far, I guess Bengawan Solo offers a cheaper & more readily available alternative.🤣

Good quality of Gula Melaka is paramount as it is probably the only dominant flavour in these cubes. ✔ While I was pleased with the level of sweetness, somehow these were not as tasty as I remembered them to be. 🤔They were somewhat lacking in the toffee-like caramel fragrance that is iconic of gula melaka, perhaps masked by the lye water? 😔 The grated coconut that coats the cubes like a layer of snow compensated by adding a good crunch & coconutty pandan fragrance. 😋
.
Taking into consideration its price point ($2.10 for 6pcs), I think this is still a decent eat. 👌🏻 At least it satisfied my cravings for some nonya sweet treats! 🐷
