Last Friday I had breakfast at Komala Vilas, a southern Indian cusine eatery that gets high marks, which I had patronised on a previous stopover in Singapore. I had a couple of vadai, which are doughnuts made from legumes. Crisp on the outside, white and fluffy on the inside. I'm still dreaming of them. If one wants tasty nourishing vegetarian food, Indian recipies are a must.

But back to the coffee. When I asked the waiter what they offered, they named filter coffee. When it arrived I realised I had the wrong mental image. Not paper filtered coffee but Indian filter coffee which contains sweetened milk. Took me back to the kopitiam (coffee shop) of my Malaysian years. And the teh tarik (aerated tea) of roadside vendors. |

BTW, by default kopitiams serve coffee with sweetened milk. To omit that you have to add the suffix -oh.
