New in Singapore: Lentor Modern First Look & Food Guide

There’s always something exciting about checking out a new mall in Singapore, especially one that’s been quietly building buzz before you’ve even stepped foot in the area. This time, I found myself heading to Lentor on a Saturday afternoon, right after wrapping up my online classes, curious to see what this new spot had to offer. I’ll admit, this was my first time exploring the Lentor neighbourhood, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Would it feel like a hidden gem, or just another addition to Singapore’s ever-growing list of malls? With a mix of anticipation (and hunger), I set out to explore Lentor Modern , ready to see if its food options, atmosphere, and overall vibe lived up to the hype. In this post, I’ll be sharing my first impressions, what you can expect when visiting, and of course, the food spots that caught my attention. If you’re planning a visit or just curious about what’s new in this part of Singapore, here’s a closer look at Lentor Modern through a foodie’s lens b...

Coffee

At coffeeshops, hawker centres or anywhere (except restaurants/cafes), how do you normally order your coffees? Yup I know you just tell the drink stall seller what you want but how do you tell them when you want a coffee with sugar only and/or etc...? Kopi-O? Kopi-C?

I search online on all these terms and finally know the meanings. Because I seldom drink coffee. The most I drink it at Starbucks or Coffeebean. And I always don't understand what those terms mean whenever I hear from my surrounding friends who ordered their drinks (coffee). I never ask anyone, even my guy because I don't drink them. But now, I asked and wanted to know so I do a search. Now I want to share with you peeps out there. Call me a dummy! I admit. Happily admitted I'm a dummy with coffee. So now, I must learn and also appreciate coffee.  That's my first step in Asking.
  • Kopi - Coffee with condensed milk
  • Kopi O - Black coffee with sugar but no milk
  • Kopi C - Coffee with evaporated milk and sugar
  • Kopi Gau - Coffee (Strong brew)
  • Kopi Po - Coffee (Weak brew)
  • Kopi C Kosong - Coffee with evaporated milk and no sugar
  • Kopi O Kosong - Black coffee without sugar or milk
  • Kopi O Kosong Gau - Strong brew coffee without sugar or milk
  • Kopi Bing/Kopi Ice - Coffee with milk, sugar and ice
  • Kopi Xiu dai - Coffee with less sugar
  • Kopi Gah dai - Coffee with extra sweetened milk
  • Kopi Di Lo - All coffee, no water (????)
So u understand what is all this about? Ya... This is how we call it in Singapore. Not sure about other countries but just knew it for Singapore will do. And also the pronunciation, I can't describe to u cos I'm a dummy! 

If you asked me, I will prefer to take Kopi O or Kopi O Kosong. Like when I drink tea (maybe Lipton), I just add sugar. It tastes good enough for me.

Right, that's a dummy teaching the humans out there about coffee... The local terms of calling it and their meaning. Try it...

Also... I'm gonna start my very own giveaway soon. Stay tune!
