Chin Mee Chin Confectionery, an old school
coffeeshop located at 204 East Coast Road, has draws crowd of people to come
and enjoy traditional breakfast. It is popular for its kaya toast.
We may be very used to going to hipster cafes, why not
take a break to enjoy some nostalgia at this old school place. Sipping kopi /
tea while enjoying nostalgic atmosphere brings you a trip down memory lane to
see coffee shop in the past looks like and feel like.
Beside the traditional toast, there are also cakes,
donuts and tarts being sold. They may not be fanciful looking, but they
definitely one of those that are “old-school”. These cakes, donuts and tarts
are being placed in the shelves where you can help yourself to your plate and
pay at the counter.

It has been years since the last time I eat a sugar
coated donuts. I’m amazed with how soft the donut was and what a perfect match
the sugar was with the donut. It was most of the most fast selling item in the
shelves as in less than an hour stay there; the whole tray of donut was
completely wiped out. Patrons even started asking if there is more.

Unlike the usual toast, Chin Mee Chin uses fluffy buns
instead of slices of bread. This fluffy buns were toasted, thus the buns were
crispy on the outer, soft and fluffy in the inner. Generous serving of kaya
were spread on the buns with a slice of butter given to be shared between two
halves.

The taste of the cream puff surprised me. I was
expecting the butter cream puff to be sweet but to my surprise, it was slightly
salty. They also offer the chocolate version of the cream puff where a layer of
chocolate ganache was apply to the cream puff.
The custard tart was quite decent as the
custard was not overly sweet and the tart was crisp, lightly sweet, and buttery.
As for the chocolate muffin, I find it too dry
and chocolate ganache was limited.

Really love the coffee as it was thick and the
natural fragrant of milk from the condensed milk further value-add the taste,
making it really smooth and addictive.
