Kedai Kue Kue

My family likes one cake from Kedai Kue Kue, their signature cake called Srikaya Steamed Cake. Kedai Kue Kue is a bakery cum F&B cafe specialising in authentic Indonesian cakes and kueh kueh. They sell a wide variety of kueh like Ang Ku Kue, Onde Onde, Sago Melaka, and Kue Pisang etc... Cakes they have Kueh Lapis, Lapis Surabaya, Nanut, Pandan Cake, etc.. and for cookies, they have the CNY favourites like pineapple tarts, almond cookies, makmur, cashew pistachio cookies, Kue Bangkit etc.. they even sell different types of crackers like Keropok Udang and Emping and more.

The Srikaya Steamed Cake we like so much is a dark brown cake made from gula (brown sugar). Despite its humble looks, the taste is actually very unique and very fragrant. To me it's a happy substitute to Kueh Lapis or any other butter cakes. And coincidentally, they have opened an outlet in Changi Airport as well, so that tourists can buy and pack their kueh kueh before going home. This, to me, is another happy substitute to Bengawan Solo, the Nonya cake and kueh shop we are so used to.

They have a dine-in cafe in Bugis Junction which, besides selling their kueh kueh, they have a small area for you to dine in, serving a few hot meals like Dry Mee Siam, Nasi Goreng, Nasi Uduk and Gado Gado. I tried their Nasi Goreng once, with chicken wings, otah, fried egg, keropok, ikan bilis and cucumber with a dash of sambal belacan. The rice is soft, more towards steamed rather than the harder fried rice type. I think this dish is nothing to shout about, just something to fill my stomach. I think they should just focus on their kueh kueh and cakes instead.

Besides serving kuehs and cookies, they also serve a wide variety of drinks, from Cafe Latte to Teh Botol. And an unique drink with a local twist got to be the ice blended Chendol Frappe, if you are interested.

Or you can get your CNY goodies from there too.
