Cafe Vs Kopitiam Part 2

Now for the answers to the kopitiams' jargons, that is if you are curious.
"Tiao hir" is actually Chinese tea.
And "Clementi" is Lemon tea
While "Tart giu" is Milo
And "Siu dai" is less sugar
Last but not least "Kar dai" is more sugar

And I still dunno what is the kopitiams' jargon for Horlicks! Argghh
Someone said it is ho hO HO. But I cannot buy that. Cos I cannot imagine the uncle or auntie goin 1 ho hO HO(in ascending pitch)

P.S. Someone just told me Red bull is "Ang gu"

Ko pok means less thick (that's what my ex tells me).

He always makes me order Kopi-o,ko pok,siu dai.

Means less thick and less sugar.
