But during normal times only the harri anns are direct competitor and other smaller biz. No obr can match their cost efficiency and quality so they can afford to charge premium using their namesake

Bought/tried a few times before. Just slightly better, maybe placebo effect due to the price and perceived superior quality

Batam is cheaper price by more than half
Per what some my kawans who go there regularly buy back gift me. In fact got many brands but some is butter gao gao, some is less sweet type some got put raisins or other nuts inside even, main thing is price just cheaper alot for 1kg.

But the issue is

When i sibehs gian kueh lapis

Would I take effort go batam to buy?

Bengawan solo one honestly consistent taste

From the day the auntie ownself make last time in marine terrace until now I still eating.

Most things that they sell, can be found in other stalls with more affordable pricing. And I'm not very good at differentiating taste and quality. So I don't mind the more affordable ones.
