    A round-up of popular Asian Coffee Drinks, with recipes, for International Coffee Day!

    A glass of green and brown pandan coffee latte.

    Vietnamese Coffee

    Since we're talking about Asian coffee drinks, how can we not mention Vietnamese coffee? It's perfect for those who like their caffeine strong!

    Pandan Coffee

    Or for a coffee drink with an interesting flavor, try this aromatic version! (You can use artificial or natural pandan syrup to make it.)

    Pandan Latte
    Pandan Latte, or Pandan Coffee, is a delicious blend of 2 aromatic flavors- pandan and coffee- and can be made using 3 simple ingredients in a matter of minutes!

    A frothy brown and green drink that is a mix of pandan milk and strong coffee.

    Tip: For a no-caffeine version, try Green Pandan Milk!

    Kopi

    If you've been to Singapore and Malaysia, you know the local coffee is called Kopi and comes with thick condensed milk! Have it:

    • black, with sugar: order a Kopi-O
    • black, no sugar: order a Kopi O Kosong
    • black, with sugar and evaporated milk: Kopi-C
    • black with evaporated milk, no sugar: Kopi-C Kosong
    • black, with extra evaporated milk: Kopi Gah Dai
    • black, with less evaporated milk: Kopi Siew Dai
    • strong, with condensed milk: Kopi Gao
    • iced, with condensed milk: Kopi Bing
    • with butter and condensed milk: Kopi Gu You
    • pulled (as in tossed from cup to cup), with condensed milk: Kopi Tarik

    You can see we take our coffee and tea very seriously in South East Asia!

    Tip: you can apply the same suffixes (e.g. O/ O Kosong/ C) etc to "Teh" when ordering tea! To order an iced tea, you ask for "Teh Bing."

    Peanut Butter Coffee

    Dirty Chai

    A glass of dirty chai latte with white and brown layers.

    With International Coffee Day falling in October, the season is turning chilly and this aromatic coffee-tea hybrid is the perfect way to stay warm and cosy!

    It's super fast to make if you have homemade Chai Syrup in the fridge!

    Dirty Chai Latte
    Dirty Chai Latte is sweet and spicy from the Chai but has a deep, roasted flavor from the coffee to make it more complex. Together with the frothy top, it's simply delicious! I show you how to make it in 3 ways: from scratch, using Chai Concentrate (along with a homemade recipe) and using tea bags!

    Iced Mocha White Chocolate

    A cup of homemade Starbucks iced white chocolate mocha espresso.

    Not quite an Asian drink, but given the number of Starbucks stores in Asia, I figured this copycat recipe wouldn't go amiss here! Serve with a roasted Hojicha mochi bite on the side!

    Starbucks Iced White Chocolate Mocha Copycat Recipe- a quick and easy 5-ingredient recipe that helps you save money and time & tastes just like the original. It's creamy, rich and delicious!

    Hi I'm Zhen also known as GGG! I couldn't boil water till I was 18 but after living abroad (in St. Andrews then London) for 11 years and having to cook for myself, I now love cooking for friends and family. Learning to cook late, I make sure my recipes go into enough detail for those new to Asian cuisine or who love a test kitchen approach to cooking!
