Chin Mee Chin Confectionery

Everything is perfect. The service is incredibly fast—the order arrives almost the second after you place it. The kaya toast stands out from the rest, served in a round bun shape with two cold slices of butter on top. The eggs are a little small, so if you want a stronger taste (or bad breath), ordering three or four is a good idea. Their curry is thick, rich, and well-spiced, making it a flavorful choice. Located in the middle of East Coast Road, the restaurant has a charming, open-air setting. However, because it’s fully outdoors (with a ceiling), there might be a few flies. When it rains, balcony seats can get wet, so it’s best to move a little further back. Despite this, the place has a lovely, chilly Greek vibe, with a relaxing atmosphere. The prices are affordable, making it a great spot for a budget-friendly meal.

First time coming and I'm impressed! Had a queue on a sun morning, waiting time less than 10 mins, their turnover quite fast. Food came pretty fast too, their kopi is so fragrant you cannot find many that is selling this traditional taste in SG anymore. Their kaya toast is soft and fluffy with the sweet handmade kaya and savoury butter. Their French toast is so JUICY, I mean it may sounds weird but the peanut butter is oozing out and it just explodes in our mouth. Super fluffy with lots of egg and crispy texture outside. Their curry is the spicy not so coconuty kind. Comes with parts of chicken thigh and potato (not the mushy kind, soft with texture). Very satisfying, full of flavours and punch. The soft boiled egg is so good too, very fragrant and no smelly egg smell. I asked for more cooked and its cooked till perfection, the yolk is so good. Will definitely come again the next time

Dropped by Chin Mee Chin Confectionery on a Sunday morning. There was a queue, but the wait was very manageable at around 15 mins. The line moved steadily, and the vibe outside was lively yet relaxed. Once we were seated, our food arrived not long after ordering — efficient and fuss-free. I went for the kaya bun set and appreciate their twist on the classic. Instead of toast, they serve a pillowy-soft bun, generously slathered with rich, fragrant kaya. The half-boiled eggs were perfect — runny, silky, and seasoned just right. A comforting classic, done exceptionally well. Best part? The set is affordably priced, making it a great value for such a nostalgic, satisfying breakfast. There’s also a small basin available at the back, which makes it easy to clean up quickly before or after your meal. On my return visit, I tried the gula melaka coffee chiffon cake — an interesting flavour combination on the menu. While the taste was pleasant, I personally prefer a softer, more delicate batter. The kaya custard puff stood out with its distinct kaya flavour infused into the custard — rich and nostalgic. Paired it with a sour plum lemon drink on a hot day, which was a refreshing and perfectly balanced sweet-salty treat. The chocolate peanut butter tart and cream horn are on my list for next time. CMC strikes a beautiful balance between heritage charm and everyday comfort.

Hi local here! Was excited to try this place due to high Google ratings and TikTok recommendations and over ambience looks aesthetically cute. I ordered their classic kaya toast set and changed my drink to an iced milo but was greatly disappointed at how diluted it was. But the soft boil egg was fresh and delicious and the kaya toast buns was generously spread with kaya and butter slice overall taste is so so only . I also ordered their hebehiam buns to try and it sounds interesting and also my favourite type of chili but was also disappointed was it was totally not spicy and fragrant at all.

Absolutely loved the softness of the kaya toast and brown bun. Imagine the crisp toasted surface and the spongey and fluffy middle! Laksa bun was soso. We loved the kaya custard puff - so big and filled with so much custard 😍 However one star deducted because the queue to order moved too slowly. Queueing to get a table was straight forward but getting to order took a long time. Cashier seemed to take his time receiving and preparing the order. Would highly suggest the store to consider QR ordering system to speed up the ordering efficiency for faster turnover. Win win for customer and the business.

The Kaya Toast is so good that I would book a plane ticket back to Singapore just to have it again!! The price is reasonable and they accept credit cards. The coffee comes with the Kaya Toast set and it’s so delicious as well.

This is one of my favourite breakfast places in Singapore. The kaya toast is a must to have. it's very fragrant and not too sweet. They also sell a wide variety of pastry such as otah bun and muffins. If you are in katong, you should definitely come by and try it out.
