From the land of cha chaan tengs, one in Hong Kong has stolen the hearts of locals and visitors alike: Keming Bing Sat 克茗冰室. Now, the well-loved tea room will debut its first outpost in Singapore in late May 2025, bringing with it its famed Hong Kong-style delights to the region.
Topping the list is its renowned Char Siew Rice (黯然销魂饭) that took China by storm, perfected by its Hong Kongese meat master, and an original creation that set off a trend back in 2019, the Little Bear Iced Hong Kong Milk Tea (小熊冰冰港式奶茶), featuring an adorable bear-shaped ice that melts into traditional Hong Kong-style iced milk tea.
First launched in 2019, Keming Bing Sat borrows a leaf from the Hong Kong cha chaan teng concepts. In keeping up with the times, it has upgraded its menu offerings and restaurant interior into a new-age cha chaan teng more reflective of the tastes and interests of today’s younger generation.
Awards and Accolades

Innovative Flavours of Hong Kong
Keming Bing Sat presents a twist in Hong Kong delights upon its arrival in Singapore. Don’t miss Keming Bing Sat’s signature dish, awarded No. 1 Best-Selling Char Siew Rice (黯然销魂饭). Crafted by a Hong Kong roast meat master with 40 years of experience, this bowl features perfectly caramelized char siew, two soft-fried eggs, and fluffy Wuchang rice. It’s finished with a secret sauce made in-house from 23 ingredients – a deceptively simple, rich, savory, and satisfying dish. A true customer favourite.
A viral hit for the ‘Gram, the Little Bear Iced Lemon Tea (小熊冻柠茶) is an original creation that put the brand on the map. A cute little bear floats atop a tea brewed from fragrant Ceylon black tea leaves steeped and “pulled” repeatedly to intensify its aroma. Lemons are then added for a refreshing citrus lift.
Keming Bing Sat took a delightful twist to Hong Kong’s iconic silk stocking milk tea with the addition of their signature Little Bear Iced Hong Kong Milk Tea (小熊冰冰港式奶茶). The rich, amber tea, freshly brewed with a high pour and low draw, creates a velvety, milky body, sealing its fragrant aroma within the icy treat. Each sip delivers a truly immersive and satisfying experience.
For those with a sweet tooth, the Lava Oreo Toast (泥石流爆奶华) is a dreamy dessert not to be missed. Slice into it and watch as the milk sauce cascades down the toast, then dip the milky, fluffy toast in the crunchy Oreo crumbs for a delightful explosion of texture and flavour. Its popularity across China has drawn food enthusiasts from all over to check it out.
Building upon the classic Hong Kong eggette, Keming Bing Sat has innovated their Happiness Lava Egg Waffles (快乐爆浆鸡蛋仔) with an appealing flavour profile and a delightful smiley emoticon. These fragrant, milky treats are filled with a rich, decadent cheese that results in a burst of flavour in every bite and has thus gained its popularity.
