Handmade traditional tutu kueh with over 80 years of heritage, now at Bukit Panjang Plaza.
Chinatown Tan's Tutu Kueh at Bukit Panjang Plaza carries forward a snack tradition spanning over 80 years, originally founded by Tan Yong Fa and now lovingly run by his daughter Tan Bee Hua.Every piece of tutu kueh is handmade from scratch — even the fillings — with rice flour hand-pounded to stay true to the snack's origins as a light, delicate steamed cake served on a fragrant pandan leaf.
Choose from peanut, coconut, original (plain), and chocolate fillings, each delivering a pillowy-soft bite with a satisfying crunch or sweetness at the centre. The stall also offers cup corn and muah chee, adding variety to its traditional offerings. It is a snack worth the wait — regulars gladly queue 15 to 30 minutes for freshly steamed batches that are still warm and wonderfully chewy. For a taste of old Singapore that has endured through generations, Chinatown Tan's Tutu Kueh is an essential stop. It is heritage you can hold in your hand — one tiny, steaming kueh at a time.

Spotted this new stall recently and decided to try their tutu kueh because the brisk business. Price was reasonable at $1.20 each, perfect for a post-dinner treat. However, when I ordered, they informed me of a minimum 2-piece purchase which wasn't mentioned on the menu. The good news is they make the tutu Kueh fresh, and the wait wasn't too long. Since these are best enjoyed warm, I dug right in after collecting them. The first thing I noticed was the lovely aroma of coconut shavings. Unfortunately, the texture of the skin was a bit off. It seemed undercooked and had a powdery feel, missing the chewy bite I remember from childhood tutu kueh. Overall, it was an average experience. I might go back if I have a craving, but wouldn't make it a regular stop.

$5 for 5 pieces. Taste is like any other Tutu around, not significantly different from the rest.
