Coffee and tea mixed with condensed milk, hot, in a cup and saucer. Yuan yang: Kopi and teh in one cup. Also called cham, “mixed”. (no O or C): Condensed milk: thick and sweet, so it’s the sugar too.
Say “Yuan yang”: the drink, then the milk (O or C), then how strong, how sweet and hot or cold. Iced, it’s “Yuan yang peng”. To take it away, it’s “Yuan yang tapau”.
Yes, it’s the sweet one: the condensed milk is the sugar. Say siew dai for less, or C kosong for none.
1 pour of kopi, 1 pour of teh, 2 squeezes of condensed milk, hot. Every stall pours its own, so it’s a picture, not a measure.
Yuan yang is hot; Yuan yang peng is iced: coffee and tea mixed with condensed milk, over ice, in a glass.
