This New Arcade Is Supposedly The Biggest In The East Side – Tokens Go For As Low As 16 Cents
5 months ago, VivoCity saw the opening of the Timezone flagship store and it was YUUUGE. You can see it for yourself in our video.
https://www.facebook.com/discover.sg.official/videos/2427312264161128/
Now, there’s a new arcade claiming that they’re the biggest arcade in the East side of Singapore.
Introducing Fat Cat Arcade. They recently opened in Bedok’s Djitsun Mall and they’re proudly owning the title of being the “Biggest Arcade In The East”, or as I would like to call it, B.A.I.T.E (The ‘e’ is silent.)
So Far, So Fat
Fat Cat Arcade claims that they have over 100 machines on the arcade floor and their tokens go for as low as $0.16 each!
Here’s a video tour of Fat Cat Arcade.

While I’m not a regular patron at arcades, the games I do go for are the shooters such as Time Crisis, The Walking Dead, and the Nascar racing games. Fat Cat Arcade seems to have more skill-based games than shooters.
[caption id="attachment_35060" align="aligncenter" width="500"] GIF Credit: giphy[/caption]Here are some photos of the arcade. Can you spot any games you’re familiar with?
[caption id="attachment_35064" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Image Credit: Fat Cat Arcade[/caption] [caption id="attachment_35062" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Image Credit: Fat Cat Arcade[/caption] [caption id="attachment_35061" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Image Credit: Fat Cat Arcade[/caption]To be fair, the arcade floor is quite expansive, though it’s not as big as Timezone. BUT, they have carpeted floors. So the point goes to them.
[caption id="attachment_35066" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: Fat Cat Arcade[/caption]Of course, every decent arcade in Singapore has these cursed loose-clawed, money-sucking, token-eating machines and Fat Cat Arcade definitely didn’t forget theirs.
Oh, not forgetting these coin-drop arcade machines too.
[caption id="attachment_35067" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: Fat Cat Arcade[/caption]Now, after you’ve spent hours upon hours farming and stocking up on your tickets, it’s time to redeem them for some prizes. And Fat Cat Arcade has a pretty decent “redemption shop”.
[caption id="attachment_35068" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Image Credit: Fat Cat Arcade[/caption]Actually we’re understating because you can choose from more than 500 items to redeem with your tickets. Also, the place reminds me of Mini-So.
Honestly speaking, Timezone is still bigger with more traditional digital arcade games and they have a bowling alley, bumper cars, an air hockey table.
But if you’re in the East and you’re trying to avoid the ‘Special Event Area’ near Sentosa at the moment, then Fat Cat Arcade is a good alternative.
Also, arcades are a better addiction than casinos. Just saying.

There’s A Sushi Joint At Yishun Town Square With Prices From $1/Plate
Growing up, my first introduction to the world of Japanese cuisine was at the first Genki Sushi outlet at FORUM The Shopping Mall. It was quite an experience, because the food comes (and goes) on a conveyor belt right next to your table. Don’t even get me started on the tabletop hot water dispenser.
[caption id="attachment_35056" align="aligncenter" width="4288"] Image Credit: Man Abroad[/caption]Genki Sushi might have been one of the first sushi restaurants to bring the conveyor belt concept to Singapore, but it has since been adopted by many other sushi restaurants to the point where it has almost become a sushi-specific concept.
Now, this new sushi restaurant in Yishun Town Square combines 2 of the sushi dining concepts we’ve seen before, into 1 sushi restaurant.
[caption id="attachment_35052" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Image Credit: One Sushi[/caption]Introducing One Sushi.
Home-grown Sushi Restaurant
Their two-tiered conveyor belt features a regular sushi conveyor belt on the bottom, while the top tier is a “track” for “sushi cars” to deliver the sushi that you order à la carte via the iPad.
[caption id="attachment_35053" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Image Credit: One Sushi[/caption]You know the way your food comes to you at Genki Sushi? In the trains? One Sushi uses “cars” instead. It’s quite fun to see your food zoom towards you.
That’s not all, the sushi conveyor belt allows diners to choose from 50 different yellow-plated sushi at just $1.50 per plate! (That’s Sushi Express’ price OMG)
If you love Ikura (salmon roe), One Sushi’s Ikura Gunkan is permanently available at $1. Another value-for-money item on the menu is the Uni Sushi at just $1.50. $1.50 for Uni (Sea Urchin) is unheard of.
[caption id="attachment_35054" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Image Credit: One Sushi[/caption]Planning to order from their à la carte menu? Go for the Hamachi Kama ($13.80). One Sushi uses fresh Hamachi Kama from Japan. Hamachi Kama is the collar of Yellowtail fish. Each fish has 2 and it is usually the most fatty part of the fish.
Don’t like fish? (Why are you at a SUSHI restaurant?) Try the Hotate Mentai ($4.80) which sees scallops served in-shell, topped with a generous dollop of mentaiko that’s been blowtorched for that charred savoury finish.
One Sushi looks promising for a new and upcoming sushi restaurant. For the aunties and mothers out there, the green tea and wet tissue are free of charge. Just saying.
[caption id="attachment_35055" align="aligncenter" width="480"] GIF Credit: giphy[/caption]Lastly, every month, they will select and feature 1 sushi in the $1 category so be sure to check with the staff!
So….sushi for dinner anyone?

Catch The LoL Grand Finals At ASEAN’s 1st E-Sports & Music Festival This Weekend
As a millennial, there aren’t many things that surprise me or even catch my attention. But leave it to MTV to be able to find the perfect combination of activities to turn heads and grasp our attention.
From 4 to 5 August, the Singapore Indoor Stadium will host the very first ASEAN E-Sports and Music Festival, Hyperplay.
[caption id="attachment_35044" align="aligncenter" width="1900"] Image Credit: Hyperplay[/caption]Organised by MTV and presented by the Ministry of Culture, Community, Youth (MCCY) and National Youth Council, this insane 2-day event will see youths from all 10 countries compete in a strive for glory in the first ASEAN League Of Legends competition.
That’s not all, there will also be a music festival as well as cosplay events happening!
League Of Legends Tournament
One of the biggest components that make Hyperplay is the League Of Legends tournament which sees the best teams in the region pit their skills against each other in a chaotic battle of strategic supremacy and combat skills.
[caption id="attachment_35045" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Image Credit: Hyperplay[/caption]Whether it’s national, regional or international, League Of Legends E-Sports is easily the highest level of competitive play with some of the most active and competitive players and tournaments held in some of the largest stadiums around the world.
The winners of the League Of Legends tournament will receive 6 Razer Blades!
Are you ready?
MTV Spotlight
If E-Sports isn’t really your cup of tea, then how about a music festival with a lineup curated by MTV themselves?
The full lineup of artists have not been announced but here’s who we know will be performing at Hyperplay.
Headliners
CL
If you’re any KPOP fan worth your salt, then you’d have heard of the iconic 2NE1, one of the most popular and successful girl groups in South Korea. And the leader of said group is none other than CL.
Since the disbandment of 2NE1, CL has moved on to become a versatile rapper, vocalist, dancer and songwriter and has also managed to break into the US market thanks to her various collaborations with artists such as Skrillex and Diplo, to name a few.
You might have seen her perform at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics closing ceremony. If you missed it, watch it again below.

Afgan
The first time I saw Afgan in person was back in 2015 at Youtube FanFest Singapore.
If you don’t know who he is, the stylish singer is Indonesia’s crooning heartthrob who has won awards across the region, solidifying him as a crowd favourite in Asia.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RVWepy4Ay4
Slot Machine
Slot Machine is the undisputed king of Thai rock music with nearly 2 decades of experience in the music industry.
The four-man rock band is known for their stirring rock anthems and poignant narratives. They released their first English album back in 2016, further expanding their audience and fanbase.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QccKfDDij48
The Sam Willows
Singapore’s very own pop sensations, The Sam Willows, will be representing the nation at Hyperplay!
Since the formation of the group back in 2012, they have racked up over 20.2 million streams on Spotify and more than 6 million views on their Youtube channel.
The homegrown band has churned hit after hit, from “Take Heart” to “Keep Me Jealous” and “Robot”. They’ve even opened for Little Mix on their world tour stops in Manila and Singapore.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgVBXDbPZqI
Nick Jonas
If you know the lyrics to “Burnin’ Up” and “Lovebug”, then you’ll be pleased to know that Nick Jonas will be performing on the MTV Spotlight stage at Hyperplay on Sunday, 5th August 2018.
The American singer-songwriter and actor, also known as one-third of the Jonas Brothers, has sold over 17 million albums worldwide and was nominated for the ‘Best New Artist’ at the Grammys in 2008.
Nick Jonas released his self-titled debut album in November 2014, featuring the triple-platinum and #1 U.S. radio hit, “Jealous” and the sultry chart-climbing radio single, “Chains”.

The Avengers Have Assembled At ArtScience Museum To Celebrate 10 Years Of Marvel Studios
It seems like yesterday when we were first introduced to the cocky genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist that is Tony Stark, aka Iron Man.
But it’s been a decade! Can you believe it? 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I was in secondary school when the first in a long series of Marvel movies made its debut and now we’re already on the 3rd Avengers movie and Phase 3 of the MCU is almost complete.
[caption id="attachment_35030" align="aligncenter" width="679"] Image Credit: ArtScience Museum[/caption]In commemoration of this milestone, the ArtScience Museum is showcasing the past 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in their upcoming exhibition, Marvel Studios: Ten Years Of Heroes.
10 Years, 20 Films, 1 Studio
Opening tomorrow, 9 June 2018 till 30 September 2018, the exhibition will be an immersive and interactive Marvel experience for all fans.
[caption id="attachment_35039" align="aligncenter" width="2048"] Image Credit: ArtScience Museum[/caption]Split into 10 distinct galleries, each section focuses on a film or a specific member of the Avengers and features life-size replicas (like the one you saw at NEX before the premiere of Avengers: Infinity War), visual and multimedia displays, as well as interactive showcases.
If you’re a big fan of Iron Man, (you must be an aspiring entrepreneur) then you should check out the Iron Man gallery where 30 different Iron Man suits are on full display together with a 5-metre tall replica of said hero.
[caption id="attachment_35031" align="aligncenter" width="2048"] Image Credit: ArtScience Museum[/caption] [caption id="attachment_35032" align="aligncenter" width="2048"] Image Credit: ArtScience Museum[/caption]Those on the other side of the Avengers Civil War can head over to the Captain America gallery where you can view a holographic video of Captain America’s different shields. Like a catalogue.
You can also see a replica of the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier, with a screen in the background playing the scene in the first Avengers movie of it taking to the skies.
[caption id="attachment_35033" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Image Credit: ArtScience Museum[/caption] [caption id="attachment_35034" align="aligncenter" width="636"] GIF Credit: giphy[/caption]If you loved the Black Panther movie (honestly, who DIDN’T?), head over to the Black Panther gallery, step into Wakanda and explore the wonders of Shuri’s lab.
[caption id="attachment_35035" align="aligncenter" width="540"] GIF Credit: Inverse[/caption]Or enter the Microverse in the next gallery and see the Ant-Man and the Wasp through a magnifying glass.
[caption id="attachment_35036" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Image Credit: ArtScience Museum[/caption]For a more interactive experience, head over to the Guardians of the Galaxy gallery and have a “dance-off” with Baby Groot or the Doctor Strange gallery (the Sanctum Sanctorum, to the few cultured ones out there) where you can attempt to “bend reality” with a little help from modern technology.
[caption id="attachment_35037" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Image Credit: ArtScience Museum[/caption] [caption id="attachment_35038" align="aligncenter" width="540"] GIF Credit: Pinterest[/caption]Step into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and relive all the past films at this ArtScience Museum exhibition from 9 June to 30 September 2018.
Tickets for Singaporeans go for $16 per adult, $12 for senior citizens and children, and $45 for a family package of 2 adults and 2 kids.

50 Cents Is All You Need To Get Yourself Some Old School Dishes At This Festival
You know how when you’re younger and your grandparents will always tell you about the good old days, where life was tough, internet wasn’t available, but people were happy.
[caption id="attachment_35005" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Image Credit: Pinterest[/caption]It was a simpler time where Singaporeans didn’t have unemployment and mobile data caps to worry about. No wonder my grandparents grew up right.
On 28 and 29 July 2018, bring your ah gong and ah ma out to Chinatown for them to reminisce a little, and relive the good old days at the 50 Cents Fest 2018!
Old School Singaporean Food For Just 50 Cents
This time, the 50 Cents Fest is throwing it back even further, taking visitors back to the golden era of the 1930s, with the Chinatown Food Street undergoing an 30s makeover, selling long-lost Singaporean dishes at the price of the yesteryears.
[caption id="attachment_35006" align="aligncenter" width="3200"] Image Credit: 50 Cents Fest[/caption] [caption id="attachment_35008" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]This is the 3rd edition of the amazing event that debuted at the Singapore Food Festival 2016. If this is your first time going to the festival, you can expect to find authentic 1930s local fare.
[caption id="attachment_35007" align="aligncenter" width="4928"] Image Credit: 50 Cents Fest[/caption]Some of the dishes you can get there include Kerabu Bee Hoon (a stir fried spicy, sweet and sour bee hoon dish. Think, dry mee siam), Fish Molee (a fish curry stew), and the polarising Kopi Gu You (black coffee with butter).
[caption id="attachment_34932" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Image Credit: Burppler Damien C[/caption]There will be more than 40 dishes available at the fest, with over 20 dishes priced at an unbelievable 50 cents. Food for 50 cents in this economy? Bo ko leng. But I’m telling you, it’s real.
That’s not all, there will also be entertainment acts available. Catch Taxi Girl and traditional opera performances, or walk down the streets of the 1930s with a one-of-a-kind virtual reality installation!
Don’t miss out on this 2-day food fest. Run and tell ah gong and ah ma about this! Mai tu liao!

Ah Tan Proves He’s S’pore’s Lord Of The Wings – Amazing ‘Har Cheong Gai’ For $1.70

Ah Tan Proves He’s S’pore’s Lord Of The Wings – Amazing ‘Har Cheong Gai’ For $1.70
First of all, let me start by saying this – I don’t care for chicken wings.
Chicken wings seem to evolve into everyone’s favourite party food eventually and I never caught on. I’m the one who goes for fried rice at buffets and the hot dogs at barbecues while people tackle the seafood and chicken wings. After all, if people like me don’t exist, then the fried rice cook for what?
BUT, I will make an exception for prawn paste chicken, better known as Har Cheong Gai, to Singaporeans who know their tze char.
[caption id="attachment_34994" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Image Credit: Image Credit: Ah Tan Wings[/caption]That, is what Ah Tan Wings has managed to perfect.
Ah Tan Wings The Chicken Game
Ah Tan Wings has garnered lots of attention previously, with their pop-ups at the Kranji Countryside Farmer’s Market and Civic District Festival, to name a few.
[caption id="attachment_34995" align="aligncenter" width="768"] Image Credit: Vulcan Post[/caption]After all, if you were in a market and you smell Har Cheong Gai being cooked, you wouldn’t miss it. Har Cheong Gai is potentially one of the most fragrant fried food we have.
So because Ah Tan Wings is in high demand, the owner decided to open a stall in Yishun Hawker Centre. You can read the whole story on how he started the business here. We talk about food one. Lai, we move on to the chicken.
[caption id="attachment_34996" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burppler Peiwen.T[/caption]Now, you already know that Ah Tan Wings specialises in Har Cheong Gai and you can’t go wrong with it. When you’re there, order their Atas Wing Meal ($5.20), which comes with 2 chicken wings and 2 drumsticks, buttered rice (OMG) and a sunny side-up.
[caption id="attachment_35000" align="aligncenter" width="768"] Image Credit: Vulcan Post[/caption]You already know I don’t like chicken wings but this one, SOLID AH. But then I hear y’all aunties behind complaining about portion. “$5 for 4 pieces only? Expensive leh. Bo hua (not worth it). ”
Auntie, you wait. That’s not all Ah Tan Wings serves. If you want more bang for your buck, then order the Atas Cutlet Meal ($6.50).
[caption id="attachment_34997" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burppler Raine Liu[/caption]For $6.50, you get a decent sized fillet of prawn paste chicken thigh that has more flavour with every bite than their chicken wings, as well as the buttered rice and a sunny side-up.
To be honest, this one more wu hua (worth it).
If you’re looking for a smaller portion, Ah Tan also have. $3 will get you 1 portion of chicken wing and drumstick, buttered rice, and a sunny side-up.
Or if you’re with friends, then order the chicken wings a la carte at just $1.70 per piece!
Ah Tan Wings sells out quite quickly, so if you’re feeling brave and want to venture into Yishun, don’t waste the trip and stop by Ah Tan’s because where else can you get Har Cheong Gai to die for?

Zombies Are Taking Over Our Army Camps In S’pore’s First Zombie Film
What happens when you combine Ah Boys To Men and the zombies from The Walking Dead?
You get Zombiepura.
If you don’t already know, Singapore is about to have our very own zombie movie!
Something Evil’s Lurking
[caption id="attachment_34981" align="aligncenter" width="1196"] Image Credit: Zombiepura Facebook[/caption]Zombiepura finally released their movie poster and we’re all feeling very excited and maybe slightly confused.
Honestly, the guy in the poster seems like he wants revenge for all the tekans under the hot sun and route march during his life in NS.
The poster has since garnered quite a bit of attention on their Facebook page and it seems like most Singaporeans are excited for this ABTM X The Walking Dead collaboration.
Singapore film director Jacen Tan produced a script for Zombiepura 8 years ago while he was on guard duty during National Service. The best ideas comes when you’re damn sian doing guard duty. Good on you, Jacen Tan.
[caption id="attachment_34985" align="aligncenter" width="768"] Image Credit: Zombiepura Facebook[/caption]The $1mil comedy movie is slated for release in the second half of the year. The movie revolves around a zombie outbreak in an army camp where a lazy reservist soldier (Alaric Tay) and a gungho sergeant (Benjamin Heng) are forced to work together to survive.
If you’re expecting George Romero’s “Night Of The Living Dead” kind of movie, well, you’ll be getting a “Zombieland” movie instead.
[caption id="attachment_34987" align="aligncenter" width="1500"] Image Credit: Zombiepura Facebook[/caption]So, if you love horror and comedy, this movie is right up your alley.
The movie has been in the making for 7 years! It took months of preparation, over 100 crew members and extras, gallons of blood, sweat and tears and a whole month of shoot. Talk about dedication.
We’ve got real high hopes and expectations for Zombiepura once it hits theatres. But please, for the love of God, let’s pray they avoid tacky CG effects and product placements.
/coughs/ Jack Neo /coughs/
[caption id="attachment_34984" align="aligncenter" width="1754"] Image Credit: Zombiepura Facebook[/caption]The poster and concept art both look promising! One thing’s for sure, we can’t wait to see how the zombies turn out.
But the real question is: What do we do during a zombie outbreak? Can we survive? Will SAF deploy their men to protect us?
I guess we’ll never know.
Pro-tip: Whatever happens, play dead.
Zombiepura
Release Date: Second half of 2018

DON DON DON, DONKI~
[caption id="attachment_34971" align="aligncenter" width="639"] Image Credit: Don Don Donki[/caption]If the song isn’t stuck in your head, it just means you haven’t gone to the Don Don Donki at Orchard Central. Or maybe you’re just one of the veteran shoppers that listen to your own music as you shop.
If you haven’t been to Don Don Donki, you live in Sengkang is it?
This 2-storey wonderland practically brings Japan to Singapore. They have (almost) everything you want, need and never knew you needed, like the insanely popular roasted sweet potato. (Sweet potato never eat before meh?)
[caption id="attachment_34977" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Image Credit: Yelp[/caption]Really though, I love Don Don Donki and the best part is that it never closes. NEVER CLOSES leh. It makes 7-11 look like a joke.

Don Don Don, Don’t You Wish Your NTUC Was Hot Like Me?
I’ll get straight to the point.
The 2nd outlet will be opening in 100AM Mall at Tanjong Pagar on 14 June 2018 at 10am.
[caption id="attachment_34972" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Image Credit: Image Credit: Burppler Jx Eats[/caption]There will also be special promotions on the opening day, as well as games, freebies and giveaways.
So if you’re a kiasu auntie or a curious cat, then gird your loins because this is the closest thing Singapore is going to have to a Black Friday sale rush.
Well, at least this outlet is MUCH nearer to me. Don Don Don’t Shove Me~

This New Halal Fried Chicken Joint Serves 3 Levels Of Heat, Cooked With The World’s Spiciest Peppers
Taufik Batisah has grown to become a household name for most Singaporeans. Asides from being the winner of the first season of Singapore Idol, he was every girl’s crush growing up (well, for me at least).
There have been plenty of rumours surrounding the opening of this eatery and the wait is finally over. You can now enjoy Nashville style fried chicken from Chix Hot Chicken.
Can Sing, Can Dance, Can Sell Chicken
Inspired by South America’s love for fried chicken, Chix Hot Chicken specialises in Nashville Style Hot Chicken served with the world’s spiciest peppers. The chicken is served atop a slice of white bread and pickle chips.
[caption id="attachment_34946" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]The options come in Quarter ($9.90) with a choice of thigh and leg or breast and wing; Half ($18.90) or 3 Whole Wings ($10.90).
You can also choose your spice level – Mild Hotness, Extra Hotness or Insane Hotness.
[caption id="attachment_34947" align="aligncenter" width="1178"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]Now here’s the fun part. If you think you can handle your spice well, try out the “Extra Hotness” level first. The chicken skin is typically rubbed with ground cayenne peppers, however, in this case – ghost peppers.
The Ghost Pepper exploded in popularity on YouTube and other social sites where pepperheads eat whole Ghost Peppers as part of a challenge. The ghost pepper is rated at more than 1 million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs), enough to make a grown man cry.
[caption id="attachment_34950" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]If you’re someone who knows no fear and thinks, “Aiya, ghost pepper no kick. Give me something crazier.”
Then you’ll love the “Insane Hotness”. The chicken skin is seasoned with Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper, which typically rates at 2 million SHUs.
If you plan on trying this out, then we highly recommend taking an MC from work because God knows what’s that going to do to your intestines. If you’re feeling bored with life and you need something to spice things up, then we dare you to take up the Insane Hotness challenge.
Tell us how it goes for you!
If you’re more of a “no thanks, I’m good without spice” kind of person, you can get the The Original ($9.90, $10.90, $18.90) – buttermilk fried chicken made from a mixture of spices inspired from New Orleans. Your stomach will definitely thank you for this.
[caption id="attachment_34949" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]You can also enjoy their chicken in a burger form. Their Soul Sliders ($12) comes with a juicy boneless chicken served with slaw, pickles and pink mayo sandwiched between two buttered buns.
[caption id="attachment_34948" align="aligncenter" width="950"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]Also, if you’re looking for a Sunday brunch date, Chix Hot Chicken serves Chicken and Waffles ($14.90) as well! Do take note that they’re only available on Sundays.
If you’re looking for an eatery to hit up this weekend, then this is the best place to enjoy hearty and delicious fried chicken with your friends.
Who knows, you might even bump into Taufik Batisah while you’re enjoying your fried chicken!
Do note that they’re still in their soft launch phase. They have limited supply every day so you better head down early if you want to get your hands on them. If you’re running out of luck, don’t fret. Chix Hot Chicken will officially open on 19 June which means there’ll be more fried chicken for us to enjoy.

Order Your Kopi And We’ll Tell You What Kind Of Person You Are
Forget what Harry Potter house you belong in, or whether you’re an Aries or Virgo.
Kopi, however you drink it, tells a lot about your personality.
There are plenty of ways that one can enjoy Kopi (some better than others of course), everyone has a special order that they swear by.
1. Kopi O Kosong
By far, the most authentic way to enjoy your Kopi.
Just like the kopi, the authenticity resonates with all the things that you do.
No sugar no milk. You don’t sugarcoat your opinions because you know people will either love you or hate you – might as well keep it real with them.
Your friends come to you for advice because they know you’re the best person to turn to in times of need. Others may shy away when the going gets tough, but not you. You’re a strong and tough one.
2. Kopi
You’re basic, just like your kopi.
Undoubtedly, the safest and simplest way to consume your kopi. Just the right kopi-milk-sugar ratio, you blend in with the rest.
You’re less likely to end up with a poorly made cup of kopi but you’re also less likely to be remembered at any social events.
But just like regular kopi, you’ve got everything sorted out. You’ve got life all figured out.
3. Kopi C
You’re skinny like Taylor Swift in an evening gown.
Regular Kopi is not gonna work because you have to watch that waistline of yours.
Your diet consists of avocado toasts and acai bowls. You have Aerial Yoga on weekdays and weekends are for CruCycling.
Your fitspo is Sandra Riley Tang and you ONLY buy Lululemon tights.
4. Kopi Siew Dai
While others prefer their coffee bitter or sweet, you’re right in the middle.
You’re the perfect balance.
It’s not that you don’t like bitter or sweet coffee, you just prefer it that way. It’s just who you are.
You’re a cautious individual who appreciates moderations in all aspect of your life. Your significant other loves you because you give moderately and don’t ask for too much in return either. You make the perfect partner.
5. Kopi Ga Dai
You’re the opposite of your sibling, Kopi Siew Dai. You live life to your fullest (and most diabetic).
You enjoy your kopi with lots of milk and sugar because you swear that’s how kopi should be enjoyed.
You probably order a double McSpicy because you don’t know fear. It’s not in your dictionary but it’s definitely in your menu. You eat it for breakfast. Fear is afraid of you.
However, you may also be a little too reckless. So order your Kopi Ga Dai in a cup instead of a plastic bag. Go big or go hospital, as they say.
6. Kopi Peng
While some may enjoy their kopi hot, you love it cold. You’re like the rainbow after the rain. The calm before the storm.
You’re a ray of sunshine and everybody loves you. Especially in Singapore’s ridiculous weather, everyone comes running to you.
You’re the unsung hero of Singapore. We love you and we appreciate you.
7. Kopi Gu You
Only 2.8% of you make up the Kopi Gu Yao clan.
You’re punk rock in a world of pop. You break the status quo.
There’s no such thing as regular kopi in your world.
Your mantra? You’re not hardcore unless you live hardcore. Also, you’re slightly insane and we’re all afraid of you.
9. Kopi Cino
You’re a true millennial.
Instead of Instagramming a tall soy latte frappucino, two pumps of vanilla, whip, double shot of espresso, extra hot but not too hot, from Starbucks, your “Iced Coffee” comes in a plastic bag because #Original.
If you could rename Kopi Cino, you’d probably spell it as KP CN because who cares for vowels anymore?
You love being extra and every single one of your Instagram posts has an emoji for a caption because words are overrated.
