Recently, my family went to Chin Mee Chin Confectionery to taste traditional Hainanese breakfast. We bought egg tart, cupcakes, bun with kaya and butter spreads, soft-boiled eggs, coffee, Milo and Horlick. It was about a dollar fifty per item. In the coffee shop, we also experienced the traditional coffee house interior which I used this opportunity to educate my son that such coffee houses were common liken nowadays coffeeshop.

In the past, my mom used to bring me to another coffee house which was located nearby too. It was the famous “Red House”. I remembered that the people running the place were elders. They would serve food and beverages such as cupcakes, colorful cakes, coffee and tea. We would be seated at one of those marble top table, traditional wooden Kopitiam chair under a KDK ceiling fan. The interior is absolutely unforgettable and classic. As such I felt that it was important to bring my son to places like CMC Confectionery to experience history before it was gone.
