Coffee in plastic bags
Globally, coffee is a ubiquitous beverage, yet its preparation takes on many unique forms, reflecting local customs and tastes. In Singapore, the local rendition of coffee, affectionately known as “kopi,” offers a distinctive twist on the traditional coffee experience. A hallmark of this experience is the method of serving: “kopi” is often enjoyed from a simple plastic bag, complete with a string tied around the top for easy carrying and a straw for sipping.
This unconventional packaging is not only practical for takeaway but also adds a novel charm to the coffee-drinking culture in Singapore. Savoring “kopi” in this manner provides a taste of the city-state’s rich culinary heritage, embodying the blend of convenience and tradition that characterizes much of Singaporean life.
