Viral Chinese Import: 'Bingtang Hulu' Dessert Bar Draws 2-Hour Queues at ION Orchard

The latest sensation to hit Singapore’s food scene is Bingtang Hulu, a new dessert bar in the heart of Orchard Road that has sent locals and tourists alike into a frenzy. Since its opening last month, lines have stretched around ION Orchard as eager diners await their chance to taste this trendy Chinese treat.

Located at 2 Orchard Turn, ION Orchard, Singapore 238801, Bingtang Hulu offers an array of traditional Chinese desserts with a modern twist. The standout item is the eponymous Bingtang Hulu, a sweet and refreshing dessert that has quickly become a must-try for visitors to Singapore.

Flavors & Pricing

• Bingtang Hulu (S$7.90): A delightful blend of chewy rice cake, honeycomb, and a variety of fruits in a creamy coconut milk base.
• Mango Bingtang Hulu (S$8.50): The same beloved dessert with the addition of fresh mango slices for an extra burst of flavor.

The popularity of Bingtang Hulu is not just about its unique taste and presentation; it’s also due to the limited capacity at the venue, which can serve only a few dozen people per hour. As a result, queue times have soared, with many customers reporting wait times of up to two hours.

Why the Wait?

• The dessert bar's compact kitchen and seating arrangements mean that only 30-40 diners can be accommodated at any one time.
• The meticulous preparation process for each order ensures that every bite is a perfect blend of flavors, leading to longer service times.

Bingtang Hulu isn’t just about the dessert itself; it’s also become a social media sensation. Instagrammers and food bloggers flock to ION Orchard to snap photos of this beautifully presented dish before sharing it with their followers.

More Than Just Dessert

While Bingtang Hulu is the star attraction, visitors can also enjoy other traditional Chinese desserts like Red Bean Pudding and Egg Yolk Tarts. Each item on the menu offers a unique taste experience that resonates with both locals who grew up enjoying these treats and curious tourists looking to explore new flavors.

For those willing to brave the queues or unable to make it during peak hours, Bingtang Hulu also offers takeaway options, allowing customers to enjoy their dessert at home without waiting in line. However, the full experience of savoring this delicacy in a beautifully set dining area is something many visitors say they wouldn’t miss for the world.
