The word kopiis a Malay/Hokkien term for coffee and tiam is the Hokkien/Hakka term for shop. Kopi tiams in Singapore are commonly found in almost all residential areas as well as some industrial and business districts in the country, numbering about 2,000 in total.

Traditional dishes from different ethnicities are usually available at kopitiams so that people from different ethnic backgrounds and having different dietary habits could dine in a common place and even at a common table.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
I went to Singapore from 30th January to 5th February 2015 just for a holiday, visiting my relatives (specialy my little lovely niece), and of course to sketch. I love every spot in Singapore it feels different with Jakarta. Such as the architectures, the museums, the peoples, and of course the foods.

I learned a lot from sketching, i saw every detail of the the object, i can ask every people near me as a source, feel the atmosphere. It's just feels good to me, like people asking "what are you doing?" or "are you sketching?" and the moment when i shared my stories online or off the line.

Well i want to tell you some of my stories about the place that i've been visited and food i've been tasted.
