Tea with no milk, with sugar, over ice, in a glass. Teh: Tea, strong and brewed through a cloth sock. O: No milk. With sugar unless you say kosong. peng: Iced, in a tall glass.
Say “Teh-O peng”: the drink, then the milk (O or C), then how strong, how sweet and hot or cold. To take it away, it’s “Teh-O peng tapau”.
Yes: sugar is spooned in. Say siew dai for less, kosong for none.
2 pours of teh, 2 spoons of sugar, ice. Every stall pours its own, so it’s a picture, not a measure.
