Been in Singapore for just a few hours and am already on my 3rd cuppa
Teh Tarik ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teh_tarik )
Will miss this drink the most when I leave SG. Using Wireless SG - a
free wifi service that can be found all over the island. FTW desu.
Thanks to www.kodomut.com/ for organizing the connection.

シンガポールに到着して数時間しか経っていないが、テ・タリックという紅茶系の飲料の3杯分を消費しているところ。本当にうまいよ。

    Make sure they 'tarik' 1 meter long.
    Back in the days, there was this teh tarik challenge on who can pull the longest and fanciest teh tarik.
    The finalist are godly.
    TL note : Teh tarik means pull tea (literally lol)

    I think got those instant form of Teh Tarik sold in stores, probably not as good as the real thing I suppose. (I'm more of the coffee person)

    Or you can try to tarik your own made teh back in Japan :P

    Welcome to Singapore again, DC!

      teh tarik should be hot.
      the reason for the 'tarik' is to cool it down.
      The more your condense milk(susu sejat) in it, the more bubbles it will make

      it's named so cuz they're supposed to be pulling the big jar up high when pouring the teh to the small cup, thus creating the bubbles on top of the tea. Yes it's basically milk tea poured with pulling action.
