What struck us about this confectionery was the fact that it had retained much of its old architecture and traditional elements. It is a rarity to be able to find such eateries around Singapore today.
It was founded in 1925 by Mr Tang See Fang (owner)'s father. For over 60 years, it has been serving Singaporeans with delicious toast spread with homemade kaya.
The authentic taste of its food and nostalgic decorations make it a truly unique place for a simple order of kaya toast, eggs and coffee/tea.
Chin Mee Chin Confectionery is the oldest Hainanese coffeeshop around.
The boys ate to their hearts content, trying most of the pastries that were sold. One of them even bought a jar of kaya home for his family to have a try. They too, made friends with the friendly auntie at the counter, whom they had a little chat with to find out information regarding the Katong Girls.

After they left the place and on their way to their next destination, Darren realized that he had forgotten to take along his camera. They made their way back to Chin Mee Chin and as fate would have it, the girls were seen inside enjoying a simple breakfast of kaya toast and eggs. The boys could not believe their luck.
