Chin Mee Chin Confectionery

Chin Mee Chin Confectionery, located at 204 East Coast Road.

(traditional shelves with glass sliding doors displaying the freshly baked pastries)


It is popular for its kaya, a kind of custard jam.


Chin Mee Chin Confectionery was founded in 1925. Styled like a typical Chinese confectionery, this Hainanese coffeeshop exudes an old world charm with its ceiling fans and marble-top tables typical of coffeeshops of the 1950s.




The confectionery roasts its own coffee beans and bakes its own bread. In pre-independent Singapore, it was the Eurasian community that frequently patronised the shop before many migrated to Canada and Australia in the 1950s to 1960s. Today, Chin Mee Chin remains popular, especially on Sundays, when the worshippers of the nearby Church of the Holy Family pop by the shop. (extracted from the internet)



And yes, we tried and really like the coffee and luncheon meat bread!!!
