KopiTalk

Quiz Time!

See if you are a true blue, heartlander kopi aunty like me. I think in another few years' time, I'd be propping my one leg up as I sip my kopi and watch the sunday crowd stroll by with their screaming kids & bulging bags of marketing...

Kopi-vocab - you're either IN or OUT. Here it comes:

1) tak(4) kiu(2) =
2) ah(1) huey(1) =
3) yun(1) yang(1) =
4) dai(3) ga(1) ho(2) =
5) diao(4) yu(2) =
6) xiu(2) dai(3) =
7) ga(1) dai(3) =

Try it! Unleash ur kopi vocab prowress & provide ur guesses/answers in comments lah.

Winner of the quiz will walk away with... a chance to go kopi-slurping with moi! =)
