Teh talk

[Nebbermind]

Strong teh must have enough milk or else very 'siap'.


I buy durian brand tea leaf to make my teh

Hi Sparks, mind sharing what is this chain of the stall that you found that serves decent teh? I love teh si and teh Tarik but have been bothered by the decline in quality as well.

Dear Nebbermind, what is this Durian brand tea leaf - where to get them? Does it come in bags like Lipton, or in loose leaves like Chinese tea?

[Nebbermind]

Durian brand…not in tea bag.


Probably can find in sheng siong.

I like teh siew dai & teh c siew dai. I like teh tarik less sweet. I hardly order teh these days because I find most disappointing.


I thought the problem lies in the blend of leaves. Most newer stalls do not know how to blend the tea leaves. Or they just use generic brands that we get from supermarkets.

More often than not, a cup of tea leaves a siap after taste that make me feel ill.

Think the evaporated or condensed milk also tasted different. Many don’t get the milk ratio right. Overdose or weak.

I am referring to the kopitiam kind of teh.


I like teh gao siew tai-teh lok (no water added), how abt you?

wow you are a true teh connoisseur. I think foreign workers who hear that also blur.

Thanks, I will check it out. Anything would be an improvement over my Lipton's!

[Nebbermind]

All use sweetened beverage creamer and not real milk product these days so taste not as rich as old days.

I love Teh C siew dai. I find the larger the chain, the more CMI the teh. agree?

[keroppi]

I like teh siew dai too.


I still like to have a cuppa at Yakun now and then but I think they are adjusting the price upwards again. Sigh.
