Give me an Andy Lau! In Singapore, coffee shop owners are jokers.
The names of various drinks in Singapore have been put on a variety of strange names by coffee shop owners. They are the real jokers!
If we want to count, let's take a look at what we are most familiar with.
one
Playing football = Milo (Meilu)
Meilu is probably the most famous drink in Xinma area. Even Xiang Yang, who took part in the Chinese draft competition last year, promised that once he won the prize, he would invite everyone to drink Meilu, which shows how popular it is in Hong Kong!
Meilu is said to be playing football because there is always someone playing football on the big jar of Milo.
Various versions of the packaging are playing football in patterns. No wonder people think of green packaging and "playing football" when they see Meilu.
two
Pak Beh Lip (can't kick in) = Milo no milk
Kick football = milo, do not milk pure Meilu just can't kick in! The image is funny, and everyone will probably smile when you say it.
Of course, Milo Kosong is all the same.
three
Sell underwear in a coffee shop?! Coke light!
Relative to the regional nature of Meilu, Coca-Cola is definitely a global drink. The reason for calling coke light underwear is that there are too many consecutive words. Coke light coke light coke light, accidentally truncated and mistakenly read light coke. In the Singlish accent, it sounds like "underwear" in Fujian dialect (Lai Kor)!
I don't know if Coca-Cola will feel depressed when they hear this nickname.
four
Buay Si Gor Lak (8456) = Pepsi
If it is delicious, there must be Pepsi! In Fujian dialect, Pepsi Cola and 8456 sound very similar, so Pepsi Cola naturally becomes these four numbers.
I feel that Pepsi's trademark evolution history of more than a hundred years is not as funny as a 8456.
In addition, for the sake of pronunciation, some people call it "bei-ki-bei-lou"!
five
Can you still fish in the coffee shop?! I ordered Chinese tea!
Because there is always a cotton thread on the tea bag, it looks like "fishing" during the ups and downs of the tea bag, so many locals call Chinese tea in the coffee shop and become a "fishing cup"!
Fishing and playing football are the most common names in local coffee shops. Stall owners who say they have never heard of it or do not understand must be unqualified!
six
Michael Jackson = half immortal grass water + half soybean milk
As the name implies, half white and half black.
It is estimated that those who know so little are definitely the old jianghu in the food and drink world!
(I wonder if Dangerous~~~ will ring in my ear when drinking this special drink.)
seven
Lemon tea = Cecil Clementi (place name in Singapore)
This is purely because the pronunciation is similar! Read it for yourself. LEMON TEA is worse than Clementi by a "K" ~
eight
Frog (Kak-Poo) = Kikapoo soda
The pronunciation of Kapoo is very much like the "Kak-Poo" in Fujian dialect. Both homophonic, soda packaging is so green ~ naturally, Kikapoo soda becomes a "frog"!
nine
There are Andy Lau and unrequited water in the coffee shop. NONONO, I actually ordered mineral water!
There is no way. The song "give me a glass of unrequited water" sung by Andy Lau was so classic and popular that the whole Chinese community was fascinated by it. So until now, you say a glass of "forget water", or a "Andy Lau", a water stall assistant will give you a bottle of mineral water.
1 0
White Rabbit = Fresh Carrot Juice
This can spread, probably because the fairy tales say that "rabbits love to eat carrots"!
eleven
Ah Huey (A Hua) = Chrysanthemum Tea
If you want to drink brewed chrysanthemum tea, it will be called "Ah Huey Shio" ~
twelve
Orh Gao (black dog) / Ang Ji Gao (red tongue dog) = Guinness (Guiness)
A long time ago, the logo of Guinness beer in Singapore was a black dog with a red tongue. Over time, many people call this beer "Black Dog" or "Red tongue Dog". Note that it must be pronounced as Orh Gao or Ang Ji Gao in dialect.
Interestingly, Malaysia's Guinness beer, logo is a bulldog, and the Indonesian logo is a cat!
From left to right, they are Malaysia Guinness, Indonesia Guinness, Singapore Guinness.
thirteen
Tiger (Lao Hor) = Tiger beer
Tiger is the only beer available in this real estate. Originally, Tiger is a tiger, even logo is a tiger, everyone must know it!
fourteen
Beer Gao
Seeing that Guinness beer is called "gao", you should be able to guess the meaning of this drink more or less. Local beer is too light and dark beer is too strong, so we mix the two kinds of beer and call it "Beer Gao"!
After thinking about it, what should be the name of the mixture of tiger and black dog? )
fifteen
Wululu (Or lu lu) = orange juice
It is said that Wululu means "orange juice" in Fujian dialect, but not many people use it this way, and I don't know if it is wrong.
