Just watching it being made is an experience in itself. The local coffee sold at kopitiam or traditional coffeehouses has a flavor all of its own or you can grab a cappuccino or a latte at western-style coffeehouses and hotels. If it's something stronger your are after beer and stout are served in Chinese coffee shops.
