YumCha - Singapore Kopi Guide
Order like a local at kopitiam
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New to Singapore or Malaysia? Ordering kopi at a kopitiam can feel intimidating — there are dozens of combinations and the names are in Hokkien, Cantonese, or Malay. YumCha makes it easy.
Build your perfect drink
Choose your base (kopi or teh), milk type, strength, sugar level, and temperature. YumCha instantly generates the correct local name — like "Kopi-C Gau Siew Dai Peng" — so you can order with confidence.
Hear it pronounced
Tap the speaker button to hear your drink said aloud. No more awkward guessing at the counter.
Discover specialty drinks
The Pro Menu features ten curated kopitiam classics — from Teh Tarik to Yuan Yang — with descriptions of what makes each one special.
Find kopitiams nearby
The built-in map combines Apple Maps data with OpenStreetMap community POIs to show you the nearest kopitiams, complete with directions.
Learn the culture
The Learn tab explains the history behind kopi culture — the beans, the milk, the brewing method, and why that 3 p.m. tea break matters.
