Signature Dishes
I decided to do some short cake reviews, after writing about the Rainbow Cake by The Bakery Chef here and Lychee Martini Cake by Pine Garden here.The cake of the day is Bengawan Solo's famous Pandan Kaya cake (SGD$25.80 for regular). Bengawan Solo is a local bakery that requires no further introduction - I am sure even tourists know them for their renowned delicacies, since they have outlets at our Changi Airport too.Not a fan of pandan cake usually, I have to commend on the Pandan Kaya cake, which I have bought for the family to try and they, too, fell in love with it - from the ladies in their 60s to the youngsters.A pretty cake in a grass green shade, smoothened by its glossy look and topped with pretty pink cream flowers atop, this cake caught my eye the moment I went to select something for the celebration. As there were elderly persons present, I could not choose the very exotic flavors hence I stuck with something more traditional - pandan and kaya.The cake is moist and soft from the first bite, oozing the pleasant fragrance of pandan and emitting the gentle sweetness of kaya. It is so smooth on the tongue it nearly melted in the mouth - hence this cake charmed someone who wasnt even a fan of pandan cake to begin me (aka me). Bengawan Solo also sells this in a single slice (around SGD$3.00 a slice if I remember correctly) so whenever I have cravings these days, I would just pop into a store and grab a slice to satiate the nagging desire for this lovely cake.For full review, please feel free to visit:http://thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2014/11/pandan-kaya-cake-by-bengawan-solo-bakery.html

The fruit cake is nice. Sponge cake with some cream and fruits. The fruits is generous but the cream is abit too much. The sponge is alright. Good for a family cake. It's not really anything special. But it's nice as an afternoon tea cake. The fruits are fresh and colourful although there isn't much in the cake. It's motly on top of the cake. Nice flavouring and simply presentation. A bit overpriced for just a fruit cake but Bengawan Solo is overpriced in everything anyway.

i think bengawan solo is famous for their pandan cake but i dont really like the taste, a bit too sweet for me. i think their other fruit cakes taste better but the cakes are a little too spongey and lacking of something. on the other hand, i quite like their cookies especially almond cookies, really nice and buttery. the almond sugee or something also taste nice, have something like melt in the mouth texture. the cookies also comes in nice packaging so is good to get as gifts too

Pandan Cake has always been my favourite. The pandan cake at bengawan solo is very nice. It is very soft, and the taste is very rich. It is a bit spongy. It is very light and you can even eat this for breakfast if you wish to have something light. I personally like bengawan solo's pandan cake due to its taste.
