Bengawan Solo (Plaza Singapura)

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! 🐷
