Heritage Hainanese coffee shop Chin Mee Chin (CMC) Confectionary will have both old and new offerings when they reopen later this year.
After closing the coffee shop in 2018, the Tan family who runs CMC Confectionary has partnered with F&B company Ebb & Flow Group for the shop's reopening.
A representative from Ebb & Flow Group confirmed that CMC Confectionary will re-open in June 2021.
Diners can once again enjoy the nostalgia of feasting on its famed charcoal-grill toasted kaya buns, sugee cakes, and kopi at this heritage spot.

Charcoal grilling of the kaya buns, which was previously unavailable due to lack of manpower, will be brought back too.
