Indonesian delicacies - Bengawan Solo

Bengawan Solo was founded in 1979 by Tjendri Anastasia, originally from Indonesia. Anastasia came to Singapore where she met her husband, Johnson Liew. After getting married, Anastasia's interest in Indonesian delicacies continued in the little home kitchen of her HDB flat. Gradually, word of the existence of her tasty goodies got around, and, before she knew it, orders for her cakes and kueh came rolling in. Her home-made specialties even made it onto the shelves of some supermarkets and emporiums, albeit produced without a food manufacturing licence. 


Lapis, kuek, cake...Indonesian goodies...

They sell tins of cookies too. Nicely wrapped.

Their  Pandan Chiffon is soft and dense! I saw tourists buying boxes of pandan chiffon!

I like the white portion, that is the coconut milk.

Stories of Falun Gong Practitioners 法轮功学员的故事 


Ananda Bhavan - Indian Vegetarian food

Ananda Bhavan RestaurantAnanda Bhavan  - Satisfy your cravings for Indian food with a variety of South & North Indian vegetarian food items from appam to thosai, and prata. 

I ordered the South Indian Vegetarian Set. This was perhaps my 1st time eating Indian meal.

Why are there so many plates of sauces? Are they curries?





This looks like doughnut, the white yogurt is for digging the doughnut, I think so,

This tea costs $1.50!

The white dish is a dessert. Sweet and tasted like Chendol!

A close up of the curries...pour the curries onto your rice, and eat them together!

This south indian vegetarian set costs $7.50!
And there are 10% service charge too!

Mee Rebus cooked by Malay is still the BEST!
