The brand opened its first Singapore store in November 2021, marking its first permanent presence in the country.

It later expanded with a second outlet at Jewel Changi Airport, though that store has since closed.

Kee Wah Bakery continues to operate internationally, with outlets across mainland China, Taiwan, Macau and the U.S.

Singapore has seen a series of restaurant closures recently.

Popular burger restaurant Working Title ceased operations on April 30, marking the end of its 13-year run.

According to statistics from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority, 3,148 food businesses ceased operations in 2025, up from 3,047 in 2024.

As of early 2026, Singapore’s food and beverage sector remains highly volatile, with independent restaurants especially exposed to pressure from elevated operating costs, low productivity, and weakening consumer demand, The Straits Times reported.
