About this tip
Kopitiams are traditional coffee shops, and the drink order is a small code. Say kopi O for black coffee with sugar and kopi C for coffee with evaporated milk, then add kosong for no sugar, siew dai for less sugar or peng for iced. Kopi C siew dai is an easy first order for newcomers. Say it clearly at the counter and you will be understood, then carry the cup to a table.

TipPhotography & ViewsWatch the skyline from the Marina Barrage green roof
Singapore, SingaporeThe grass-covered roof of Marina Barrage gives a wide view of the Singapore skyline across the bay, and the breeze off the water makes it a favourite for kite flying.
