History

Bengawan Solo was founded in 1979 by Tjendri Anastasia or Anastasia Liew, who emigrated from Indonesia.[2] Anastasia had initially started an unlicensed home baking business of Indonesian delicacies in their HDB apartment at Marine Terrace, before officers from the Singapore Ministry of Environment required her to either to close or officiate her business. Bengawan Solo is named after the Indonesian folk song of the same name.[3][4]
