  I came across kopitiam staff using nicknames for drinks ordered. Eg. Milo is soccer or something. Recently I ordered green tea and the uncle shouted to the counter "Tee Tu".
  
  Once I came across Liu De Hua (Andy Lau), but dunno what drinks is that.
  
  Any other nicknames you heard?
  
  Share share.
