<p>A certain kind of coffee in Singapore has been described as too bitter and
too sweet at the same time, if I am not mistaken in my recollection.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“When we tail ministers or members of parliaments in their tours of
the orderly housing estates, I buy them [the camera crew] little plastic bags of milky tea
or coffee. These brews are always too sweet and too bitter at the same
time…” - Joanne Leow, 2016.

</blockquote>
<p>Coffee, when bought in Singapore, is not necessarily in the style of an
Americano, espresso, Long Black and the like. In my experience, the ones that
cost SGD$0.70 to $1.50 tend to not be espresso-like or even latte-like - the latter
cost, maybe, upwards of SGD$3.</p>
<p>This might be an alert to seekers of coffee who are new in Singapore.</p>
