Hong Kong’s Famed Kee Wah Bakery Closes Singapore Store After 5 Years
The Hong Kong bakery known for its mooncakes and traditional cookies has shuttered its only Singapore outlet, but says it’s not goodbye forever.
For those who turn to Kee Wah Bakery’s signature mooncake sets for festive gifting, there’s now one less place to shop, after the Hong Kong brand shuttered its only physical store here at ION Orchard.
Its final day of operations was April 24, according to posts shared on its official social media pages.

In a farewell message addressed “To our dear Singapore”, the bakery reflected on its time here, thanking customers for their support and the connections built over its range of traditional pastries.
“Every smile across the counter, every ‘this tastes like my grandmother’s’, every returning customer — that is the whole reason we do what we do,” the team wrote.
No reason for the closure was disclosed.

The brand opened its first Singapore store at ION Orchard in November 2021, marking its first permanent presence here.
It later expanded with a second outlet at Jewel Changi Airport, though that store has since closed.
Will return for festive pop-ups
While its Orchard outlet has shuttered, Kee Wah says this is “not goodbye”.
The brand confirmed it will return to Singapore for seasonal pop-ups at Takashimaya, where it has long participated in festive fairs.
“This isn’t quite goodbye… we’d love to see you there,” the team added, hinting at a possible return in the future.
Kee Wah continues to operate internationally, with outlets across Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Macau and the United States.
