First time trying their handmade buns and it was good. Their buns are fluffy while not too dense/airy, I like that there are plenty of buns instead of too much filling. The fillings are decent tasting, not too sweet or salty in any way which is great. Their place also serve some other traditional local breakfast items like soft boiled eggs, chwee kueh and chee cheong fun. Their coffee are not particularly good, just good to go with the buns to complete the meal. I would come back specially for their buns, probably take away since it can be kept for a few days and steamed for consumption. Highly recommend you to try this too!

My favourite place for fresh bao and fan choy. Not usually a fan of siu mai but here, I always order 3 to go with my fan choy. So thankful to have such traditional food still so well and sincerely made. And I like their Kopi too! Very proud of their culinary standard and consistency.

Hidden gem alert! Chin Sin Huan serves up deliciously soft and fluffy Chinese bao, paired with a perfectly balanced cup of coffee. The combination is absolute perfection! The chicken bun is soft and juicy. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and a must-visit for any bao and coffee lover. However, be prepared for limited seating, as the shop is quite small. Get there early or be prepared to ta bao

Whenever I'm in the area I'll make an effort to pop by and grab a few pieces for take away. And if I'm able to, order the frozen ones to bring home for my family. Their paus have a taste of homeliness and they're something we look forward to for our breakfast in the mornings. If you're in the area, pop by and grab a piece. You won't regret!

Have breakfast with bao and kopi (traditional coffee from here). Ask the owner for recommendations if you're unsure what to buy.

Delicious pork buns - Pau. Light, fluffy, perfect bun to filling ratio. The cold Milo is great if you have non-coffee (kopi) drinkers with you. The staff are friendly and very helpful.
