Kopitiam Brooch - Milkmaid Condensed Milk
$20.00
| /
The Chope! Project by the little dröm store explores the peculiar and eccentric lingoes known perhaps only to the Singaporean (and honorary Singaporean-at-heart).
Singaporeans are an interesting bunch. At the heart of it all is our Kopitiam culture - the choping of seats, the manner to which all servers become relatives ("Hello Uncle! Hello Auntie!"), but above all, the way we order drinks.
Some of these lingoes are as old as our forefathers, evolving over generations, while others are relatively new additions. No one really knows their origins, but one thing is for sure: they all display a queer sense of humour unique to our culture.
The familiar Milkmaid Condensed Milk brooch shown here pays tribute to our alternative to milk for coffee (that's Kopi for you), and our unhealthy, yet oh-so-delicious replacement for butter to bread.
