An iconic blue shophouse that has withstood the test of time, Chin Mee Chin Confectionery has been a staple for the Katong community since it first opened in 1925.
In spite of its closure in 2018 due to a manpower crunch, the timeless icon was given a new zest of life when it was revived by the Ebb & Flow Group in 2021, ensuring its continued legacy of time-honoured kaya toast and kopi favourites.
This year, Chin Mee Chin Confectionery celebrates its 100th anniversary and is celebrating it in style with a three-month-long series of anniversary activities featuring its series of commemorative collectibles and a variety of limited-time 100-Year menu specials.
CMCoin (23 to 29 June)
100 thoughtfully designed, limited-edition coin pieces are up for grabs when you make a purchase of $25 and above on food and drinks. These coins comprise of 99 silver and just 1 rare gold, and have been embossed with the cherished coffee shop’s iconic kopi cup.
From 23 to 29 June, the coins will be distributed in limited quantities randomly between 12pm to 4pm, while stocks last. Those who managed to snag a silver one will need to hold on to the coin and return in July to exchange them for an exclusive 100-year CMC T-shirt (worth $38).
Each receipt entitles customers to redeem a maximum of one coin per day, regardless of the total amount spent.
The lucky winner who managed to snag the elusive gold coin will be able to redeem a 2D1N stay at Artyzen Singapore (worth $565++).
Limited-Edition T-Shirts (1 to 31 July)
Available for purchase at $38 each, the limited-edition 100-year CMC T-shirts come in four different designs in their respective black, white, beige, and dark green colours. Each of the designs have been inspired by Chin Mee Chin Confectionery, repping the heritage brand in various ways.
Blind Bag Keychains (1 to 15 August)

To redeem a blind bag, all you’ll have to do is spend $25 or more in a single transaction on food and drinks, from 1 to 15 August, and get a chance to play the CMClaw Machine to get your keychain. Only one blind bag can be redeemed per transaction, regardless of the total amount spent.
100-Year Menu
Timeless local classics will be making their official debut in August 2025 as part of Chin Mee Chin’s 100-Year Menu.
The mains include the Curry Pork Chop ($8.80) with breaded pork cutlet covered with Chin Mee Chin’s homemade curry; and the Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens ($10.80) which has been stewed in a fragrant blend of soy sauce, cinnamon, ginger, and sesame oil.
For the light bites, don’t miss Chin Mee Chin’s all-new Pang Susi ($2.80), a rare Peranakan treat that features a savoury filling of minced pork, candied winter melon, and mixed vegetables tucked into a soft sweet potato bun.
There are also classics with a twist to enjoy such as the Kaya French Toast ($6), the Peanut Butter French Toast ($7), and the Nutella French Toast ($8) — all made with shokupan that has been coated in an egg dip for a crisp exterior.
