Chin Mee Chin Confectionery

Chin Mee Chin Confectionery (Chinese: 真美珍; HTS: zian1mui3zian1; colloquially known as CMC) is a kopitiam (coffee shop) in Katong, Singapore. Located at 204 East Coast Road, Chin Mee Chin started as a bread delivery business in the 1920s by Hainanese native Tan Hui Dong before becoming a kopitiam in 1925 by renting 204 East Coast Road. The business was taken over by Hui Dong's son Tan Joo Long in 1947 following his father's death in Sook Ching. Joo Long expanded the business by serving other foodstuff and fully purchasing the building as well as giving the name 'Chin Mee Chin' (meaning "genuine, beautiful treasures" in Chinese). Following an increase in Eurasians living near the Joo Chiat Road during the 1970s, Chin Mee Chin decided to appeal to them by serving Eurasian confectionary, which would later become staples on their menu. In 2021, the food and beverage company, Ebb & Flow, acquired Chin Mee Chin and restored and reopened it after it was closed down in 2018 due to a lack of staffing and family support. The building has a distinctive blue façade.
