The traditional kueh are made without pork, lard or meat, but the brand holds no certification, has never applied, and some of its cakes contain rum syrup. Whether that is acceptable is a personal decision — there is no independent verification.
Bengawan Solo holds no MUIS certification, so nothing on its menu is independently verified halal. Some items may contain no obviously non-halal ingredients, but sourcing and handling are unverified — most halal-conscious diners choose a certified alternative instead.
Search the establishment on the official MUIS HalalSG register at halal.muis.gov.sg, or look for the MUIS certificate displayed at the outlet. A 'no pork, no lard' sign is self-declared and is not certification.
