Kopitiam @ FFN
Long before ice mocha, cappuccino and café latte were on Singaporeans' drinks list; before the culture of coffee-drinking in boutique cafes become popular, Singaporeans have already had their own unique way of enjoying their cup of kopi-O, teh-O and teh tarik.
Kopitiam, the local lingo for coffee house, has been around probably since our grandparents' time. "Kopi" means coffee in Hokkien and "tiam" means shop. The mention of Kopitiam often brings back many fond memories: the aroma of coffee and kaya* toasts, the half-poached eggs, the flower-printed porcelain cups and saucers, and of course, the voices of people.
Kopitiam is not only a great place to fill our hungry stomachs; it is also a place where much laughter is shared. Chatting about everything under the sun, over an aromatic cup of coffee, is a common sight at any Kopitiam. Our Kopitiam here at FFN is also a place to share our experiences, thoughts, laughter, tears or anything under the sun. Feel free to drop in and read what others have to say, or pen down yours to share. Get comfortable and come on in...
Hmm... coffee, anyone?
*Kaya is a traditional bread spread made from pandan leaves and coconut.
