Heritage Favourite Jian Bo Shui Kueh Reopens at Tiong Bahru with Fiery New Mala Flavour, Celebrate their 5th Consecutive Bib Gourmand Award
A heritage street food and popular breakfast staple since 1958 now greets fans new and loyal with an irresistible new kick.
Jian Bo Shui Kueh, a beloved icon in Singapore’s vibrant hawker scene, serving up one of the city’s most quintessential breakfast staples since 1958. Nestled in the historic Tiong Bahru Market, this humble stall is famed for its silky-soft rice cakes topped generously with fragrant, slow-cooked preserved radish (chye poh) and a punchy garlic-laced chili, each bite a masterclass in texture and flavour.
Over the decades, the brand has grown into a household name, now boasting 32 outlets islandwide, making it one of the most widespread heritage food brands in Singapore. Beyond shui kueh, its outlets have become delightful centres for other traditional local fare, offering nostalgic favourites like yam cakes, chee cheong fun, glutinous rice and a colourful variety of kuehs and snacks. Jian Bo’s enduring presence is a tribute to the country’s rich hawker heritage, embodying the spirit of communal dining and culinary craftsmanship that defines Singapore’s food culture—unpretentious, deeply rooted, and universally loved.
Get ready to sizzle as a Singaporean classic Jian Bo Shui Kueh @ Tiong Bahru has finally reopened. To celebrate the reopening, they will also be launching an all-new fiery take—its first ever Mala Shui Kueh which will be available at all outlets.
Get Fiery with Mala Shui Kueh
Rediscover the classic flavours of Jian Bo’s shui kueh at its newly reopened outlet – now with a fiery twist: Mala Shui Kueh $4.50 for 5pcs.
Jian Bo’s signature silky-soft rice cakes still pack a punch with fragrant chye poh but now turn up the heat with a bold mala chilli paste. Infused with numbing Szechuan peppercorns, this new take elevates both flavour and spice to thrilling new heights. Just as the heat builds to an intense high, the smooth rice cake and savoury chye poh restore balance, creating a delicious medley of spicy, numbing, and savoury notes.
