Traditional Tutu Kueh stall at 313@somerset crafting steamed coconut-filled rice cakes.

Chinatown Tan's TuTu Coconut Cake is a stall at 313@somerset specialising in the traditional Singaporean snack known as tutu kueh. These small, steamed rice flour cakes are filled with grated coconut mixed with palm sugar and wrapped in pandan leaf, creating a soft, fragrant, and sweet bite-sized treat. The stall continues a tradition that has been a part of Singapore's culinary heritage for decades, with the distinctive moulding process giving the cakes their characteristic shape. Tutu kueh is best eaten fresh and warm, when the texture is at its softest and the filling is at its most aromatic. Located within a modern Orchard Road shopping mall, the stall offers a nostalgic taste of old Singapore amid contemporary surroundings. Chinatown Tan's provides a convenient way for shoppers and tourists to sample this heritage snack.
