Practice your Kopi Lingo this Saturday (7/7/12)

ORDER LIKE A LOCAL

Unlike Singapore’s other attractions, kopitiams don’t always cater to tourists. Below is a glossary that will help you order like an insider.

KOPI Coffee with sugar and condensed milk.

KOPI C Coffee with sugar and lighter evaporated milk instead of condensed milk. (The “C” stands for “Carnation,” the longtime go-to brand for most kopitiams.)

KOPI KOSONG Coffee with no sugar (“kosong” is zero in Malay).

KOPI O Black coffee.

KOPI O POH Diluted black coffee with sugar.

KOPI PENG Coffee with sugar and condensed milk, over ice.

YUAN YANG Half-coffee, half-tea combination, with sugar and condensed milk.
