Would it be possible for me to borrow a bag of coffee?
In the picture, there are two bags of coffee remaining. You read it right, don’t you? Coffee is inexpensive in Singapore, and it’s everywhere (over 3,000 coffee shops in total). Drinking it in Singapore, on the other hand, is a very other matter. We dug deep to discover the origins of this custom and the illogicality of its continued use.
It is not uncommon for Singaporean coffee (but not all) to be served in a plastic bag, much like the sort used for infusions. So, the next time you’re out and about in Singapore and the want for a cup of coffee strikes, consider asking for a bagful instead.
