Marie: Here's your food. And here's a bucket and a new shirt, in case you feel like vomiting.See more »
Kopitiam really is a welcome change from most of the boring and unintelligent local stuff I usually see - it's a fresh upbeat sitcom which is ACTUALLY amusingly catchy! Well, well ...
By the way, the title means coffee shop, and most of the story revolves around it, ala Friends. However it's not exactly the same, different cultures and etc, etc, gives this different slants and elements - it's another show altogether, and truly good enough to stand on its own. The script is great, so is the cast.
From what I saw in the first season this show is sharp and witty, definitely more so if you're a Malaysian or a Singaporean as it makes fun of the edgy relationship between these two countries (Susan is a Singaporean while the others, Malaysian), and also it has the very local flavor of English spoken here. But there's more ... see for yourselves. This show is fun!
