  At home, I'll drink kopi C kosong, but the kopi outside sometimes taste quite bad or bitter, so need a teeny bit of sugar to do some rescue. I think more coffeshops are getting used to the "siew siew tai" already.

  If you order 2 pcs only, do they accede to your request?
  
  Bec. their standard combo (as I know previously) was 1 meat (thigh, drum, brest) +1 bone (rib, wing).
