Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry's one of our favourite places to get traditional kuehs, and we're so sad that they're closing down soon😫! Got ourselves a last round of kuehs and pastries, including the Putu Ayu, Kueh Salat, Kueh Dadar, Kueh Ambon, Custard Tart and Custard Puff🤤. We exceptionally love their Putu Ayu, which is steamed pandan sponge cake with grated coconut🥥and flavoured with gula melaka. The pandan sponge cake is soft and airy, and not too sweet when topped with the sweet and savoury grated coconut, making it a perfect light afternoon snack☕! The Kueh Dadar is good too, as the crepe is soft and the grated coconut is fragrant. We love their pastries as they're delicious and not too sweet, making it perfect for everyone in our family🙌. Will miss it dearly when it's gone😢!

The queue to get in here is longer than you'd guess since they announce their closure. I managed to find some time on a weekday morning just to have a last taste of these freshly made in-house Nyonya kuehs and I’m glad the queue was just 15mins long. Due to high demand, there is an order limit of 2 boxes per pax for Kueh Dadar, Putu Ayu and Ondeh Ondeh.

Sadly they did not have Ondeh Ondeh during my visit but I still get my hands on their popular Putu Ayu along with Kueh Kosui, Pandan Tapioca, Lemper Udang and Kueh Salat 🤤 》$13.90

Putu Ayu is basically steamed pandan mini cake crowned with grated coconut. The top consists of white grated coconut with gula melaka while the bottom is the pandan cake steamed to an individual flower shape.

The texture of Kueh Kosui is perfect, chewy and not too soft or hard. Pandan tapioca comes with a nice fragrance of coconut with a texture firmer than the former. Lemper Udang has spicy shrimp in a glutinous rice roll filled with a coconut aroma. It has a good ratio of rice to spicy shrimp and it’s something more savoury compared to the other kinds of kueh. Last but not least, the custard layer made with eggs and coconut milk on Kueh Salat is soft, smooth, rich and goes very well with the firm bottom layer of glutinous rice with coconut milk.

Situated along Tiong Bahru Road, TBGP has been around for 40+ years and specialises in Nonya kuehs.

When news first broke, the queue was very long. Came around 4pm on a weekday, by then all the Putu Ayu finished. Auntie say all gone in the morning, people came and bought in packets of 10s.

While queuing, saw everyone have a box of chiffon cake, feel very left out if I didn't get 1 for myself.

All the pastries I had, all were very good, I especially like their egg Tarts the most. Cream puffs were great and so were the Kueh Ambon.

Come and get this piece of history before it's gone this end of June 2022.

I believe the green ones don't have gula melaka inside for this place?

Nonetheless because the coconut was fresh this was delightful. Most places don't use super fresh coconut flakes

We think this might be the place with the best kuehs. We had the following and they are ALL SUPERBLY GOOD.

Kueh dar dar (which they are quite well known for)
Kueh kosui
Pandan tapioca
Baked tapioca
Kueh salat
Kueh ambon

We also had the carrot walnut cheesecake but we think it wasn't that good and will just stick to the kuehs next time.

Discovered this gem after seeing the long queue and checking the reviews out on burpple! My first time eating kueh Dar Dar and it was fantastic - not too sweet, the grated coconut tasted fresh and the skin was soft and not too overpowering!

Hidden in the neighbourhood is this famous old school dessert shop that has a huge variety of kuehs and other sweet treats to choose from. The Kueh Da Da has a strong coconut taste which was interesting, but what captured our hearts was the custard tart 😍 it was so buttery and fragrant that we finished it before I remembered to take a picture 😂 Their ondeh ondeh are also very good, as each piece are bursting with gula melaka 😍

Second time having Galicier's kuehs! My favs are the kueh dardar ($0.80/piece) - really soft chewy skin wrapped around joosy coconut shreds (you can really feel the juice oozing out as you bite into it); and kueh kosui ($0.80) - super soft and kinda melt in your mouth, with a nice coffee flavour. Kueh salat ($1.10) was decent but I've had better, while the tapioca cake ($0.70) was a bit too firm/coarse for my liking. Tried kueh ambon/honeycomb cake ($1.40) for the first time, and while it was interesting it wouldn't be my first choice of kuehs to buy. It has a subtle lemongrass(?) taste and wasn't very sweet, but kinda oily. Nice honeycomb structure tho!

The base of this putu ayu is dense pandan sponge cake,with one side is gula melaka and the other side is coconut,not overly sweet.
A bit pricey 1 for $1😅, But I still will buy it if I'm at Tiong Bahru Area.😆.
💰$6.

Tiong Bahru Galicier will never fail to pop up if you are hunting for traditional nyonya kuehs. But due to its popularity, it can be difficult to catch specific kuehs, like this one that I have been missing out for a long time. Set on a moist, fluffy Pandan sponge base, the Putu Ayu appeared dense but sank in nicely with a good balance of airiness. There are 2 flavours on top; half with gula melaka that’s was stronger in flavour than the other half with white desiccated coconut. Personally preferred the gula melaka for the sweeter kick and the white desiccated coconut seemed more suitable for their kueh dardar.

🍴Have always only gone for their Kueh dar dar and putu ayu but decided to try their #fattgou (huat Kueh)after seeing another review that these aesthetic and cute kuehs had fillings inside. Maybe we had too high expectations as we were disappointed by the minimal amount of fillings, especially in the yam & pandan versions, and would have preferred if there was more to enhance the flavour profile. While the fillings (green - pandan, purple - yam, pink - strawberry) were tasty, the kueh itself lacked flavour. We also found the strawberry one to taste more artificial & sweet. Texture-wise, they were soft but slightly dense, and we would have preferred if they were more airy. Would probably still stick to their putu ayu, ondeh ondeh, and Kueh dardar in the future 😅

Moist white desiccated coconut (without gula melaka) wrapped with soft panda crepe.

I like that it is not too sweet and you can really taste the coconut. I also enjoy that the skin is really soft. The best kueh dardar I’ve had.

However, I find the rest of their kuehs are just meh i.e. kueh kosui, bingka ubi, kueh ambon.

I have previously reviewed about other traditional kuehs here, but it’s the first for their ondeh-ondeh. You might find it a little pricey for a small ondeh-ondea ball, but trust me, the quality justifies for its price.

It’s one of the few with a thin chewy kueh skin, that’s hardly found. Usually the factory made ones have thick kueh skin with little filling. I was taken aback by the mini ‘explosion’ that I had in my mouth upon the first bite, as the sweet brown gula melaka started flowing out. Everything complemented nicely, with the grated coconut. You will also find a literally sweet surprise after the gula melaka, as they also incorporated a small block of brown sugar in the filling which you can bite into.
