<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.

|
|
|
|||
|
|
<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>
