Chinatown Tan's TuTu Coconut Cake at Wisma Atria represents the original tutu kueh legacy dating back to the 1930s, bringing Singapore's most iconic traditional snack to the Food Republic food court on Level 4. As the OG stall that first created and popularized tutu kueh in Singapore, Tan's maintains nearly a century of heritage in crafting these beloved steamed rice-flour cakes.
The signature tutu kueh features soft steamed rice-flour crust filled with generous portions of either crushed peanuts or sweetened coconut shavings, with occasional chocolate or gula melaka variations. The name "Tu Tu" originates from the sound of the charcoal-heated steamers originally used to make these snacks—a detail that connects today's customers to generations of tutu kueh tradition. Each piece is freshly made and steamed to order, ensuring optimal texture and warmth.
The commitment to fresh preparation means customers should anticipate approximately 30 minutes wait time, as each order is individually steamed according to specifications. This dedication to made-to-order quality over convenience reflects the traditional hawker approach that prioritizes taste and authenticity. The results justify the patience required, delivering tutu kueh with the ideal combination of fluffy exterior and flavorful filling.
Located within Food Republic at 435 Orchard Road, Level 4, Chinatown Tan's TuTu Coconut Cake provides accessible traditional snacks in one of Orchard's busiest shopping centers. The brand maintains additional outlets at ION Orchard, NEX, Parkway Parade, VivoCity, and Westgate, extending this nearly century-old tutu kueh tradition across Singapore while preserving the original recipes and techniques.

Xin Pei service is very bad… you can tell she was taking her own sweet time🤣 problem is you can’t order and leave, you’ve to stand there for 30mins, tutu is amazing, but be prepare to wait stand and wait🤣
Previously there’s this China lady her service is good and fast..

the girl who was serving gave very bad attitude, ordered and there was enough flour to start making but instead of starting to make, she decided to take more flour and spent ten whole minutes to pour it out, bad service, queue was long. 10/10 not recommended. girl was wearing black cap, blue mask with black shirt 👎🏻👎🏻

They need to stop taking food delivery orders. Ive been queueing for over 35 minutes and although the queue is short, half the orders are for grab / takeaway or something so the line barely moves. You don’t even know how long it’s going to take. What a horrible experience !!!!
Sabrina
Although looks promising, the skin was way too dry. Honestly terrible and not worth the $5 price. Only saving grace was that the coconut and peanut fillings were both tasty.
Shirley
Doesn’t taste like the traditional tutu piring. Very dense and not fluffy.

$4.50 for a set of 5 mini UFO flour cakes with coconut and peanut filling. Don't miss this if you are here at Wisma Atria!

I personally preferred this better than the Maxwell food court ones. Also they use a metal mold instead of a plastic one. Somehow watching the process it was aesthetically more pleasing :p . Its 50 cents more .

There’s only 2 flavors to choose from and that’s coconut or peanut. Freshly made on the spot and takes a while if there’s a queue as there’s only one person preparing it. Eat it when it hot as once it cools down, it gets really hard. Try the Haig Road putu piring and that’s 3-4 times better than this.

Love the tutu dessert. Amazing flavour, great texture, great price $1 for one piece if you want to buy 10 pieces and that’s $10. Waiting time didn’t take long it was great. 😊 will I return again? Hell yeah!

Pretty good and not too sweet. Great for people who don’t like the whole load of sugar for the more traditional ones. Each are also perfectly and pain-staking made! 🥹 …
