  eh, ask you ah, do you understand the lingo the kopi-kia use to shout orders?
  
  i haven't quite figured that out.
  
  when you want less or more sugar, is it "xxx kar/siew DAI" or "xxx kar/siew GAI"?
  
  also i have heard one of my friends ordered "milo pao dai" - he told me its milo with ice. but i thought iced milo is usually called "milo peng" or "pak kiew peng".
  
  what are the rest of the lingo thats frequently used at kopi-tiam?
