we took egg tarts and butter cupcakes from the shelves before going to our seats. Also, point to note: you are charged on a honesty basis for your bill. The auntie would ask you what you've eaten/taken from the shelves after you're done eating and you'd pay accordingly. I was pretty sure some people would lie about the amount of food they already ate but i guess it all boils down to mutual trust and honesty? Anyway, the egg tarts were really good, and i'm still missing them like crazy.

However, the butter cupcake was pretty dry and not so fantastic, and i should've tried the custard puff instead. :(

The egg tarts were crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside (yum)

We were famished after the long wait and gobbled down our egg tarts and cupcake before we ordered our "main courses". So we ordered 4 hard boiled eggs, 4 kaya toasts and our drinks. 4 kaya toasts = 8 toasts everyone, do not be deceived. The waitress didn't hear me properly when i asked her and she ended up ignoring me hence we ended up with 8 toasts. Kina and I ended up laughing when we saw the amount of food served on our table. The couple who sat with us who ordered 2 toasts probably thought we were monsters. 

and the hard-boiled eggs which she claimed to be "tastier than normal eggs"

Even though the thought of forcing ourselves to finish so many kaya toasts is still very terrifying to both of us now, i feel that the trip to chin mee chin was worth it. even though we had to queue for quite long and the place was so hot (they only have ceiling fans), we left the place with a happy tummy. 

If you would like to try it someday:

Thank goodness we managed to hop on a bus which brought us to plaza singapura, and after watching "if i stay", we wandered outside the mall and ended up at a park located opposite park mall & then eventually at fort caning park. Our initial plan was to catch a bus to Botanic Gardens after the movie and walk to Evans Road to eat lunch at Hatched, but we saw a sign which wrote "To fort caning park" and i was thrilled & said "c'mon lets go!!" Fort Caning Park has been on our bucket list since April this year and we never really had the chance to go, so i thought, finally. I was honestly expecting quite a lot from that place because I've always thought it was filled with great scenery everywhere where you can take 100000 photos of the same place and your photos would still end up beautiful. TO MY DISMAY, fort caning park was a total bore and it was a waste of trip. We ended up climbing a hill that led us to some quiet and boring looking place, walked for a long time and finally got out of that place almost an hour after. Kina even ended up with mosquito bites (& thankfully i didn't). Lesson learnt: Get some reviews online from a place before making a trip down.

So beautiful :*
