Guess who? This famous chain has over 140 outlets in China and Hong Kong, won TikTok’s Favourite Restaurant Award in 2021, and sells more than three million of its signature Char Siew Rice yearly…
No cookies for guessing correctly, but Keming Bing Sat is finally here in Singapore!
It’s opening its doors to the public on 22 May 2025, so head down to the Plaza Singapura Basement to see if the food is truly worth the hype.
Launched in 2019, Keming Bing Sat’s interior and menu are inspired by Hong Kong’s cha chaan tengs.
Of course, we’ve got to start with the best-selling Char Siew Rice (S$10.90), which is a big hit in China.
Created by a Hong Kong roast meat master with 40 years of culinary experience, this deceptively simple dish is elevated by a secret sauce made from 23 ingredients.
Don’t judge a book by its cover — this dish was surprisingly hearty. The tender meat was full of flavour and paired well with the Wuchang rice.
My favourite was the Thai Style Curry Beef Brisket Rice (S$13.90). I was anticipating a sweeter taste profile, but I was pleasantly surprised when the spice hit me.
As for Stephen Chow’s Favourite Noodles (S$10.90), it’s your classic Nissin noodles with luncheon meat and beef brisket. It’s nothing fancy, but it sure hits the spot.
Unfortunately, the Thick Cut Sirloin Steak (S$19.90) didn’t quite meet our expectations. For the price, we were hoping for a more tender cut, but the steak turned out to be on the tougher side.
Other dishes include the Heavenly Four Treasures Rice (S$11.90) and Char Siew Scrambled Egg Rice (S$10.90).
You’ve probably seen the viral bear hotpot, but Keming Bing Sat is actually the original creator of Little Bear Ice. Admire your little bear family before drowning them in your drink (or letting them melt into faceless blocks of ice).
If you prefer hands-on activities, get the Little Bear Iced Hong Kong Milk Tea (S$4.90), which comes with a flask of milk tea that you can pour over your cup of Bear Ice by yourself.
The Little Bear Iced Lemon Tea (S$4.90) comes with a slightly larger Bear Ice, propped atop a large cup of fragrant Ceylon black tea.
The Little Bear Ice also comes with the Pink Bear Soda (S$5.90) and Dreamy Blue Bear Soda (S$5.90).
We all have separate stomachs for dessert, so you can’t miss the unique options on the menu (hey, I don’t make the rules).
The Lava Ovaltine Toast (S$7.90) is a must-get. Prepare your cameras for that ooze, and then feast on this crunchy toast filled with milk, condensed milk, and whipped cream.
The Happiness Lava Egg Waffles (S$3.80 for 2 pieces, S$6.90 for 4 pieces) were seriously the cutest. While the waffle could be fluffier, the sweet cheese combo really worked for us.
Our verdict? This cha chaan teng chain is certainly worth a visit for affordable bites. While you’re there, don’t miss out on the novel Bear Ice and special desserts.
Think you can handle the un-bear-ably adorable Bear Ice at Keming Bing Sat?
