See, breakfast in my hall is pretty mediocre. It is just noodles or pasta, and by the time you are finished, you just think 'that was a little too much noodles'. But there is tea and coffee. I haven't had the coffee yet, but the tea is really good. Here, the tea is really strong, but not bitter. It has complex notes. For putting into it, we have sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and dried milk. I like the tea so much that I even had two cups this morning.
I must, furthermore, mention, that there is an interesting coffee/tea drinking lingo around here. If you go to a traditional coffee shop, you pronounce 'coffee' as 'kopi', and tea as 'teh'.
kopi/teh ping = iced coffee/tea
kopi/teh o = coffee /tea with sugar but no milk
kopi/ teh o kosong = coffee/tea with nothing at all
kopi teh c = coffee/tea with dried milk. 'c' as in 'carnation'.
'manis' means 'sweet'. There are words for 'more' or 'less' but at this moment I forget what they are.
Have a nice day!
