Kopi is coffee, and tiam is shop. So, literally, a cafe. You know the place is good when Singaporean girls come out of the shop all smiles with a full tummy, shouting, thanks auntie for the lovely meal, to the lady behind the counter. The 'auntie' offered two different types of noodles for my laksa, asked if I wanted it cooked there or would I do it at home, and offered to give separate bags for the soup and noodles so the noodles don't get soggy by the time I actually eat them. That's good service for you. I devoured those noodles, I was so hungry!
