Chin Mee Chin Confectionery Kaya Toast Singapore

Chin Mee Chin Kaya Toast

Chin Mee Chin confectionery at East Coast Road is one of the few old-school coffee shops left in Singapore. I’m sure most of you are familiar with Chin Mee Chin (CMC) since many of the Singapore Food Blogs have written on them before. In many ways, CMC reminds me of the popular Yut Kee in Kuala Lumpur.

Sometimes, I think we take Kaya Toast for granted. This humble breakfast food is simple, yet so delicious, and it is often overlooked because it is so common in Singapore. From places like Ya Kun Kaya Toast, Killiney, Good Morning Nanyang Cafe, to the local coffee shops – good kaya toasts are everywhere in Singapore.

I have friends who always stock up on their kaya supply whenever they go overseas for work or study, we should be grateful that it is so easy for us to get kaya toast in Singapore.

This, shall be my excuse to eat more kaya toast.

At Chin Mee Chin Bakery, local coffee, kaya toast and homemade cakes are the stars. There are many supporters of the round buns (instead of the normal toast), and the not-too-sweet kaya from this old school coffee shop. Together with butter, it is the perfect snack for breakfast or afternoon tea.

How to Crack Soft Boiled Egg

When it comes to soft-boiled eggs, I think it is an acquired taste. It’s either you love the runny eggs, or hate the raw taste.

Soft Boiled Egg

Feast your eyes with the perfect runny eggs – they are so gorgeous! With a cup of coffee/tea, two half boiled eggs and kaya toast, this is the best breakfast you can get in Singapore.

How to eat soft-boiled eggs?

Step 1: Sprinkle some pepper and pour an adequate amount of light sauce (depending on personal preference). Step 2: Dip the kaya toast into the soft-boiled eggs and once you are satisfied, it’s time to finish the remaining eggs. Step 3: Slurp down the eggs and feel them rush down your throat.

Chin Mei Chin confectionery

Chin Mei Chin is packed all the time, and some of the popular items like the custard puffs and sugee cakes are usually sold out quite early. I’d think that Chin Mee Chin is definitely one of the places that you should bring overseas visitors to, and if you have not been there before, it’s time to make a trip to East Coast road.

    Your photos are making me crave for runny soft-boiled eggs right about now! I noticed you didn’t scrape off the remaining egg white on the shell.. I do that all the time! Never leave anything behind! ;)

    I never liked the muffins they sold, too plain and dry to me.
    Plus, the icing on the chocolate muffin taste like sugar paste, just with brown food colouring.

    The only thing I think worth buying from them is the cornet pastry. At least, it taste like some of the best cornets I have tasted before.

    When I went to Singapore last year, we had unlimited hard boiled eggs in the inn that we stayed at. Upon seeing the eggs, I kept on asking myself why eggs there are orange-y, while we have color white ones here in the Philippines.

    Maybe you can explain the reason behind this? Is there a difference on which one’s more healthy or the like?

    Their standard has dropped! It used to be much better. Their mini egg tarts are worth trying too =)
