People who live at the South East Asian countries enjoy an occasional tea break in the afternoon to relieve the tensions from work or to catch up with colleagues or close friends. Typically, hot tea or coffee with the names such as 'Teh C' (Hot milk tea) or 'Teh Tarik'(Special hot milk tea with bubbles) or 'Kopi O'(Black coffee with no sugar) or 'Kopi C'(Coffee with milk) are common among coffee houses or 'Kopitiams'.
Renowned ones make their best tasting tea or coffees at the exact right temperature. They even know what customers like, for example some likes less sweet, others like more 'kao' or stronger taste/brew.. And then there is a little bread or cake to accompany. People order red bean buns or custard puff such as the one here which goes really well and smooth with the traditional cup of tea or coffee.. Some places also make fresh toast with a choice of different spreads including cheese, butter, butter with sugar, kaya, jam, peanut butter and the likes.. That is why the afternoon tea break becomes a habit..
