      The way he says it is how the older generation of Malays say it. So technically he’s not wrong since he said it in Singapore
      Also, the Milo in fast food restaurants are usually watered down to make it “healthier”

    1:40 Chicken is a very common/popular meat in southeast Asia, because of the multicultural society. Muslims don't eat pork and Hindus don't eat beef so chicken is a safe choice and "ok by everybody".

    Fun fact 1: for the drink covers in McDonald's Singapore, the openings are designed to be lifted upwards and over to fit into a groove in the cover. That way, there is unobstructed flow as you are consuming the drink. At the same time, it allows you to enjoy the drink at your preferred interval since the opening can be brought back down to the original position, helping to prevent pests from entering the cup.
    Fun fact 2: The Milo Drink that you mentioned earlier is actually pronounced as 'Mine Low'.
    Fun fact 3: You can request for 'No Salt' if you ordering French Fries (I am honestly not sure if US has this option, but I always request for No Salt), as well as 'No Ice' for most of the chilled drinks except Iced Milo. I am not sure if the app allowed for any of such requests.

    The whole no straws policy started off around 2019, as it contributed a large percentage of marine litter, so a lot of F&B establishments have phased out straws. (usually milkshakes/cold coffee beverages will have straws provided)
    The plastic lid is kinda new innovation, but you don't push down the lid, you push it forward, and there's a small notch that keeps it in place. You can pull it back to its original position if you're taking breaks from drinking.

    Actually, pull the flap for the drink and lock it into a notch cut into the cover :) Its to save the environment, reduce straws. :) Starbucks have went the same way, though they still have straws if you want them (for the frappes for example).

    Have u found any of the crullers or patongos yet? Any hawker centre has them n we dip them into coffee (black or milk as u wish) or soya bean milk. Congee stalls will also add half a youtiao in. I think d thai ones r better but ours r still a tasty n affordable breakfast. They r also added to a sweet bean dessert called tau suan. The combo makes a perfect protein, one of the few nutritious yet delicious foods!
