This is how to order coffee in Singapore.
Here's the system
Step 1: what drink?
Coffee = kopi
Tea = Teh/d'ey
coffee and tea mixture = Yuan Yang/charm
Milo = chocolate malt
Step 2: Milk?
C = evaporated milk (if not stated means sweetened condensed milk)
O (as in Hawaii Five Oh) = no milk
Step 3: level of sweetness
Kosong = no sugar
Siew dai = less sugar
Ga Dai = diabetes level sugar
Step 4: level of concentration
Dit lo = no added water/concentrated
Poh = add more water/diluted
Step 5: ice or no ice
Peng = iced (cost more) / if no mention it will be hot drink
Special
Butter (usually go with Kopi O) = Gu (cow) You (literally means oil)
