.: teh peng my loVe :.

Whenever i have my meal at a Kopitiam, i will usually order my usual drink, teh peng. It is damn shiok to drink a cup of teh peng especially when the weather is so warm in Singapore. But a strange thing is that i never order teh peng before when i am eating at a food court. (Maybe i did but i cant remember.) Just feel that "teh peng" is such a kopitiam language and so i find it weird ordering teh peng in food court.

One day, I was having a foc meeting cum dinner at Suntec food court and i have a sudden craving for teh peng. so i went to the drink stall to order teh peng. Staring at their menu board for the price of teh peng for so long, but there wasnt a single sighting of it. Now, it made me unsure if the food court's drink stall has teh peng on their menu. But thinking twice, there was hot coffee/tea sold there and i looked around." Duu... got ice mah, should have ice milk tea rite? ice+ hot tea+ milk = teh peng" Finally it was my turn to order.

Me: " Auntie, one teh peng"
Auntie: " Sorry, here we dun sell teh peng one hor. "
Me ( puzzled) : " Huh?! Dun have? eh then give me ice lemon tea lah. "
Soon, another friend come back to the table. She also tried to order teh peng like me.
Friend: " eh so qi guai, they sell hot tea. Never sell cold one.. so qi guai. Just put ice can liao mah. then she say is sold at the other stall.."

I wonder how many times that auntie has to repeat " no teh peng sold here" in a day. haha.
I guess i taken things for granted. if got ice + milk tea , that does not mean they sell teh peng. sigh.
