I've been eating from this coffee shop for at least the last 30 years of my life (I can't account for the first 2and a half years), and it is a place that has set a few standards in my culinary journey. It is the place I had half boiled eggs which I slurped from a saucer, followed up by pouring my hot Milo in the same saucer to cool off, and then drank from. It was the place I got my first taste of assam laksa, the first kaya toast and also the most awesome iced Milo kosong. So far, I haven't found any kaya toast and iced Milo kosong that have even come close to the ones I get at Chin Hin Eating House.
Problem with these standards is finding another place which does things just as good. Other than the passing of the lady who made the assam laksa, the coffee shop, along with the neighboring blocks, are all moving out. While some of the shops have found another location, the owner of this coffee shop has no time to search for one as yet. So now everything is in limbo, and I shall have to wait patiently to find out if I will ever get another place to chill out with a refreshing iced Milo kosong and crispy, buttery, sweet, salty kaya toast.
Guess I have to learn to make my own kaya toast for now… hmmm….
