Waiting for customers…
The queue at the drinks stall is growing and everybody wants theirs special. Kopi-C siew dai peng! Teh-O kosong tapau! Can or not?
Roughly. A real drinks uncle puts the condensed milk or sugar in the cup first, then the kopi from a kettle brewed through a cloth sock, and adds hot water to make it po. The game counts it in pours, squeezes and spoons so an order has one right answer, but every stall pours its own.
O is no milk, C is evaporated milk and sugar, and plain kopi or teh has condensed milk. Kosong is no sugar, siew dai less sweet, ga dai more sweet. Po is weaker, gao stronger, di lo strongest. Peng is iced, tapau is takeaway. The kopi order decoder has every word and where it comes from.
Because with plain kopi or teh, the condensed milk is the sugar. Siew dai (less sweet) means less of it, and ga dai more. That’s also why nobody orders plain kopi kosong: ask for kopi-C kosong or kopi-O kosong instead.
Each drink pays a made-up kopitiam price, from S$1.40 for a kopi-O to about S$4 for a Milo dinosaur, plus a tip of up to 60% if you serve fast. Then the combo multiplies it: ×1.5 after three right in a row, ×2 after six, up to ×3. A wrong drink resets the combo.
Every five drinks served is a level. Each one makes customers less patient and come sooner, and brings new orders: peng and siew dai at level 2, Milo, ga dai and tapau at 3, po, gao, yuan yang and teh halia at 4, di lo, teh tarik and Milo dinosaur at 5, then longer and longer orders.
