Most of my malay colleagues would call this 'teh kangkang', the meaning of it created by them.This lady has a tiny weeny stall (you are looking at it now). She could prepare coffee, tea, ginger tea, mint tea, etc. You could such ladies preparing hot drinks at almost every corner in the city.
In this picture, she was stirring the burning charcoals that were used to boil water.
Once the hot water in available, she will start preparing the hot drinks that you have ordered.Sorry, no such thing as teh tarik or hot chocolate.
Some colleagues won't go for it with cleanliness in their mind.
Our Sudanese associate in his coat. I felt very hot for him.
The coffee served on a small tray. I ordered tea. She put a small cup of sugar so that you can put in the amount of sugar according to your taste. Better to do it ourselves as Sudanese tend to drink at quite a high sweetness level. I have seen the amount of sugar they put into such a small cup. So, it's better we do it ourselves.
For us Malaysians, one teaspoon full was enough. For Sudanese, some do put in three teaspoons.
Her small stall just for a day's living. Some ladies will have their young kids with them.Tags: Hot Drinks, Coffee, Tea, Ginger Tea, Mint Tea, Sugar, Sweetness

nkw@i - reason for teh kangkang, we sit with legs open wide due to low chairs given at times ... haha
teh kangkang.. haha! but it's really a very astonishing thing to see your associate in a coat in such a place with a humid climate. there are alot of africans in my college who wear long sleeves everyday to classes. simply amazing
