Historic kopitiam in Singapore
The Chin Mee Chin Confectionery (Chinese: 真美珍, colloquially known as CMC) is a historic kopitiam (coffee shop) in Katong, Singapore. Located at 204 East Coast Road, Chin Mee Chin started out as 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 would be taken over by Hui Dong's son Tan Joo Long in 1947 following his father's death in Sook Ching. The younger Tan 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 a surge of Eurasians living in the Joo Chiat area during the 1970s, Chin Mee Chin decided to appeal to the Eurasians by serving Eurasian confectionary, which would later become staples on their menu. In 2021, Food and beverages company Ebb & Flow acquired Chin Mee Chin and revived it after it was closed down in 2018 due to a lack of manpower and succession.
The Chin Mee Chin Confectionery building has a blue façade.
