Chin Mee Chin Confectionery is set to open a new outlet at Nex in Serangoon in the third quarter of 2026.
According to an Instagram post by user Edwin Kheng, a temporary hoarding display has been put up at a store.
The display said: "100 years in the making. From Katong to Serangoon. Coming soon."
This will be the century-old eatery's first branch outside of Katong, with the original East Coast Road flagship continuing to serve customers, reported 8 Days.
Founded in 1925
Founded in 1925 as a coffee shop along East Coast Road, the eatery is known for its kaya toast, sugee cake and cream horns.
Due to manpower and succession issues, the eatery closed in 2018.
In 2021, Ebb & Flow Group, an F&B company known for Italian restaurant Casa Vostra and one Michelin-starred restaurant, Willow, brought the brand back.
On Chin Mee Chin's website, it states that the firm's co-founder and CEO, Lim Kian Chun, was a long-time customer, neighbour and family friend, partnering with the original family, Sharon Tan and her mother, to revive the heritage brand.
