A landmark in the vibrant Katong neighborhood, Chin Mee Chin Confectionery has been a beloved institution since 1925, serving traditional Hainanese coffee shop fare. Situated at 204 E Coast Rd, this iconic eatery is renowned for its classic kaya toast, featuring a generous spread of homemade coconut jam and a slab of butter on charcoal-toasted buns, often enjoyed with soft-boiled eggs and a cup of local coffee (kopi). Beyond its signature breakfast items, the confectionery also offers a delightful array of traditional Eurasian pastries, such as sugee cake and cream horns, reflecting the area's rich cultural heritage. After a brief hiatus, the establishment was revived, preserving its cherished recipes while introducing contemporary items to its menu. Housed in a pre-war shophouse with a distinctive pale blue façade, Chin Mee Chin Confectionery offers a nostalgic ambiance that transports visitors to a bygone era. The interior retains much of its original charm, characterized by green mosaic floor tiles, marble-topped tables, and classic coffee shop chairs. This carefully preserved setting provides a unique backdrop for patrons to savor their meals. The blend of historical decor with a more contemporary outdoor dining area strikes a balance between tradition and modernity, creating a welcoming space for all generations to experience a piece of Singapore's culinary history.
