Tea with evaporated milk and sugar, hot, in a cup and saucer. Teh: Tea, strong and brewed through a cloth sock. C: Evaporated milk, plus sugar unless you say kosong.
Say “Teh-C”: the drink, then the milk (O or C), then how strong, how sweet and hot or cold. Iced, it’s “Teh-C peng”. To take it away, it’s “Teh-C tapau”.
Yes: sugar is spooned in. Say siew dai for less, kosong for none.
2 pours of teh, a pour of evaporated milk, 2 spoons of sugar, hot. Every stall pours its own, so it’s a picture, not a measure.
