Netizens responded by joking about Heavenly Wang cafe’s “heavenly” prices
SINGAPORE: Yet another individual took to social media to complain about the high cost of a simple beverage on Tuesday after being charged S$3 for a cup of coffee. He even posted a picture of his receipt as proof.
A netizen who goes by the name Paul Anthony MusicHaven Soh on Facebook wrote on the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE page,adding that he had the beverage at Heavenly Wang cafe. Kopi o kosong is the simplest of coffee beverages, a no-frills cup of black coffee with no sugar. Interestingly, Alliance Coffee said in September last year that as of December 2021, Kopi o kosong cost about S$1.08 per cup. In 2016, however, Kopi o kosong sold for an average of just 70 cents a cup. Inflation notwithstanding, it’s not a surprise that Mr Paul was shocked at the cost of a simple cup of black coffee.
Kopi o kosong, along with Kopi C, teh tarik, and kaya toast, are part and parcel of the traditional kopitiam culture in Singapore, where everyday people could have these for breakfast and then simple meals later in the day, all at an affordable price. Hopefully, prices won’t skyrocket too much due to inflation, high rental prices and other factors, crowding out an important part of life in Singapore.
