Marie (Joanna Bessey) inherits her father's kopitiam/coffee shop and a few moments after walking into it, loyal customers Uncle Chan (Mano Maniam) and Uncle Kong (Tan Jin Chor) walk in. They are joined by Marie's childhood friend Steven (Douglas Lim) who is a hairdresser who insists on NOT being called "barber" or "haircutter", stage-struck Joe, and a little later, Singaporean lawyer Susan (Lina Teoh).
This series is wonderfully peppered with bits of Malaysian-style English and is so, so very addictive, that my sister and I made sure - as much as possible - never to miss a single episode. Watch it.
