Teh Glossary

This is the 4th post of today. Just post since I would like to share with you people part of this article I saw on the Sunday Times while reading it online. Don't know if you have seen it, but if you haven't, it'll be enriching! Especially because you are a Singaporean, proud of it or not. This article was regarding to teh tarik in Malaysia being a health hazard, causing diseases like stroke and the like. And the article ended up talking about teh tarik in Singapore, and introducing you the places where you can get teh tarik, some with roti prata around the clock too.

I reckon this teh glossary is also a small part of how you want to survive in Singapore, isn't it?
