1) you can tie the bag and will not spill especially when u are carrying alot or traveling on rugged terrain. E.g. my coffee cups always spilled when delivered by grab or panda or McDonald's. 2) You can carry more bags compared to cups. 3) Easier and faster to distribute because plastic bags are transparent compared to cups. 4) Cheaper and can hang. Normally, drank when not piping hot.

Thanks! I like #2, makes so much sense!

Malaysian here... my take is that in the olden days, cycling is the main way to get around the city. And the most convenient way to tapau a drink is in that plastic bag, where you can just conveniently hang it by the bicycle handle without spilling it. 😄

I really like this video. U have a very cute mother in law, with her around will always have fun.

In the 1980s. ..90s..they used to serve coffee in a condense milk can for takeaway. It's up to personal preference, cup or bag. :) But it's really more convenient for drivers. I'm assuming that the plastic bags used are of food grade plastic that's meant for the packaging of food items, similar to the plastic containers we use for soup and even plastic bags for noodles.

Olden time they packed with emptied condensed milk can with string, then slowly change to this plastic bag alike how they pack for take away soup before disposable container is available. I believe that cost is one of the main factors and convenience, it can hang somewhere near them or buyer can request to tied it if he/she does not want to drink on-the-go.

MIL's Essence of Chicken reference made me LOL the loudest I have in months 🤣

Usually I use a straw to blow bubbles into my tea to make it cool down 😂 that way won’t burn my tongue 😂

For takeaway, plastic bag is good to carry and drink easily especially the hanging aspect. There are also tin cans that use the milk can for takeaway.

Hi Ghib! Traditionally, plastic bags are not used to carry coffee. They will fill it in a used condense or evaporated milk can. Then they will use nylon string to tie it around the can for those who tabao.

I love using the bag! Even if it's burning hot (actually love it to be hot). I'm not a driver but I tabao this everyday and hang on the door knob. This idea actually utilize space in the air than space on my tabletop. When you throw the bag, it literally collapse in 2 dimensions than a cup when you dump them in the bin.

I can already picture unker Ghib walking to his coffee shop nearby to grab a packet of kopi as a daily schedule many years later 😂

You can order "half hot" version where they'll mix some room temperature water. The beverage will be suitable for immediate drinking without scalding yourself. 👍🏿

Drinking Coffee / Tea / soft drink in plastic bags because : (1) convenient to carry & move around especially at construction sites where u need to stand around (2) u can also hang it from car’s window’s winding lever or door lock lever or while riding bicycle u can hang on the handles

I takeaway beverages back home and when I have no place to hang, I just plop the plastic into a mug. No need to wash mug after.

Hahaha...we do that with our Wan Tan Mee that comes in plastic bags too. Plonk the plastic into a bowl and eat from the bag. No dishes to wash!

The primary purpose puting coffee in a plastic is "for takeaway convenience". 1. If you drink at the coffee then you get it in a cup. 2. Using plastic bag makes it possible for oñe person to "ta pow" for 5 or 6.of his friends which is quite often done. 7. Imagine if you have to juggle 5 or 6 plastic cups - with very hot coffee -alone. 8. Besides plastic cupe are more costly especially - the firmer ones. 9. This practice dates back to the time when coffee shops used to serve "takeaway coffee" in emptied condensed milk tins with a small string pierced through the top cover of the tin which is not completely cut away but with one section still connected. 9. With the introduction plastic bags rhey found a .mòre practical replacement - cheaper -more hygienic - ĺess cumbersome for storage and ha dlong

people will usually bring it back to pour in a cup or let it cool before drinking, esp in rush hour and office is nearby with air-con running. Disposal cups cost money also.

I'm a Singaporean married to a Japanese and he had the same reaction when he saw this hot coffee in plastic bag thing!!! Hahahah he was super shocked and yes... Like you he still doesn't understand it cos when you try to drink it when it's so hot it's like 無理! :D Me being Singaporean couldn't understand why he was so shocked :D By the way, he orders his coffee as kopi-o-kosong!

Boss you should visit Malaysia. In malay warung ( malay hawker center) our take away is much creative. You can order your drinks by saying mangkuk. It is pack with a plastic bag and they put the plastic bag in a container that prevents it to drop. I don't know how to really describe it but you will only understand when you see it. It is only available in Pj section 8 , Selangor.

Bring the straw up to the top corner level of the drink, slurp loudly till small amounts of the hot liquid transfer into the straw, this is to help test the temperature. If all good, go ahead to drink. Blowing bubbles to cool down the drink is optional.

One way to drink a hot beverage with a straw is to make the opening of the straw flat and sip it very slowly.

Mostly just for convenience because plastic bag like that can multiple use, can pack hot and cold drinks with ice. It easier to storage this kind of packaging as compare to foam cup or plastic cup. Most are about saving cost on different packaging. U dabao dry noodle in bag.also same plastic bag, If u bring home u can just put it inside a cup with the bag most likely it can fitted into a mug size .

The bag is meant for tabao. So people usually buy and drink it on the go. So usually, we don't drink it immediately. Some are sold tied up so you can tabao back home.

お義母様は相変わらず、楽しい方ですね〜。 お元気なのが何より。

Haha... Ghib san, you can pinch the straw and suck it slowly when it's hot. Alternatively, pull the straw up to just below the liquid surface and blow to aerate and cool the coffee faster.

When you play majong or doing so.ething you can hang the kopi anywhere you can

ngl I laughed so hard when he said "Can is can" at 3:08. True blue local at this point

I have photos of family members drinking from such disposable bags in the 1960s. But for me, the practice became truly ubiquitous in the 1970s (my adolescence) due to improved wages & more plentiful petty cash. The forgotten history gap is that such bags were used even more to fill 'homemade' iced drinks like soya bean, chin chow, bandung, pineapple, bird's nest, milo, etc. They were sold much cheaper than bottled carbonated drinks. Hawkers would scoop out the iced drink (diluted but still sweet enough) from big acrylic containers (which still exist today) into either glass cups or plastic bags, according to the customer's order. I remember how we kids loved to press our coins against the frosty containers to generate condensation. The universality of this method saw plastic bags replacing used tinned cans for hot beverages as well. The portability factor is just a bonus. Later on, single-use plastic cups & styrofoam cups would supplant the plastic bags. I blame McDonald's, but the general emphasis on hygiene was a factor too.

お義母さん出てくれると動画が更に明るくなりますね😆 袋でホットドリンクは飲みづらそう…金魚すくいの袋を思い出しました！

You can tabao/carry more if it is in a bag and it won't spill. You can also walk and sip your drink. Not as easy to walk and balance to drink from your cup. For people who don't have place to put a cup, like drivers and construction workers, a bag is easier as it won't spill as well. I think South East Asian countries all have this takeaway drinks in some form of bags. As a kid I used to have takeaway drinks in condensed milk tins with the string tied in the middle of the tin cover. I can't recall when this started phasing out and replaced by this bag with handle. The cups option came after that...and don't know who started charging for the cups and everyone just followed LOL

Think your sponsor should also sponsor your MIL because she's a good sales woman! Actually, way before kopi stalls put hot kopi into plastic bags for takeaways, they recycled evaporated milk and condensed milk cans as containers to hold hot kopi without emptying the residual milk in them. In such a way, there would be no waste if customers wanted milk kopi. The metal lids of the cans would have a hold in the middle for raffia strings to loop through as handles so that customers could take and go. Plastic carrier bags emerged only in the late 80s, Ghib.

Bag all the way but never for hot drinks, only cold. After being out in the heat all day, nothing beats your favourite beverage in a bag full of ice with a straw.

When I was a boy in the 60s takeaway coffee was served in an emptied condensed milk tins. The plastic came along and the kopi uncles found it easier to serve it this way. It's been over 60+ years now and I still not use to sipping hot coffee thru a straw lol.

There's also hot kopi in a re-used milk (evaporated or condensed) can. That's even rarer these days. If you go to Qingdao, China (home of Qingdao/Tsingtao beer), you can get beer in a plastic bag. (search for "Blondie in China, Qingdao"). But yes, it is very Singaporean/local.

Drink kopi O with plastic bag everyday cause driving.Just hang can drink anytime.U just need make a few turn with a simple tie knot u can put on the tabe without spill.

Most of the coffee shops in the 90s, put the coffee or tea in the condense milk tin can and tie a string for you to carry. Now most are either pack in a cup or plastic bag. I will choose plastic if I want to drink while walking and it is easier to hang a plastic bag than a cup. Or when you want to dabao coffee/ tea for your family or friends, the auntie can tied up all the bags and put it in a bigger plastic bag for you to carry and you can pour it into a cup when you are back home. Or just put the plastic bag into a cup so that it can holds. 😉 Most importantly it is free, comparing to a top up for a cup.🤣😊

Because of health concern, i do not package and drink Hot coffee in the Plastic bag. I will drink at the coffee shop or last option is to package in the white foam cup, very rarely.

I wonder how Ghib wife control her laughter when doing the filming.... Her mum so funny... Trying hard to promote the sea berry. 🤭🤭👍🏻

Bag is more convenient, and if you are buying a lot, it is less bulky and you can carry more at the same time without spilling.

1. The old days haven come with styrofoam yet. 2. Older days they use condensed milk tin for takeaway, but have use up the condensed milk in order to have 1 tin for takeaway, so older days changed to plastic bag for fast turn around, cost saving and convince. 3. In the older days is very Convenient why? Cos no place to seat they tabao food and hot drinks squat down or stand and eat, the drink just hook on your finger when holding your food (same hand), when want to drink just shift abit your hand and pull up the straw abit and drink. paper cup, plastic bag, styrofoam cup all have tonxi If worry byoc lor🤣

Previously was dabao hot kopi in condense milk can later in plastic bag but if kopi too hot burnt tongue & throat in long term not healthy. I always hang it to let it cool down B4 drinking or pour it into Starbuck ♻️ cup to enjoy slowly 😉

Might be due to using condensed milk cans for takeaways long ago. Coffeeshop owners use condensed milk cans, punch a string through the hole in the middle. Doing that can ensure all the milk is used in the can and good as a takeaway. There are some stalls still do that :)

wow, i always stay near to Zion. i didn’t know the hawker offer the bag copi. next time i need to try!

back in the 80-90s or earlier, takeaway was always in a bag or tin can. cup option was not available until much later.

Hi Ghib,, its funny when u feed ur orang utan ur drink 🤣,, no way i drink hot coffee in a plastic la,, that sea berry i feel like i want it lets see,, Mil is a very good sales woman 🤣,, Huat Ah Always Ghib n Fam,, 👍😬

Mother-in-law took the product replacement way too seriously hahaha

i never drink hot drinks out of the plastic bag like that, instant burnt tongue! it's only for tabao-ing home where i can pour it out. otherwise, wait for it to cool down before drinking

I like my takeaway coffee to be in a plastic bag (very often must remind them not to tie the bag). Usually hang on the gear lever while driving in the morning, so i can enjoy the coffee while driving

I think your mother in law is cute and very real. I have a face in my mind. Wondering what she looks like Thank y for your videos. Enjoying them.

Advantage? you only need 1 finger to hold that instead of one full hand.

Plastic bag drinking has been dated back in the 60s where paper cup is not available at that time.. It's convenient for take away too...

i lost it when u posed with the coffee HAHAHHA

Only some Singaporeans and Malaysians do this. I don't even drink hot beverages from plastic bags and plastic straws. It feels like something the older generation would do.

As a Singaporean, I don't like to have drinks in a plastic bag at all, especially hot drinks, and I wonder how older people drink that. Hot drink in normal plastic bag and straw is bad for health too. Always ask for a paper cup.

One way that I used to do is to blow into the drink from the straw to cool it down. But that is how I used to do it.

I think there is a very simple reason for it... in those days there was very little choice of take-away containers available... that was the most widely available for drink sellers n hawkers... hence, that was the one used

the cup with the rooster inside is so cute!

My hack to not get tongue burn is try to position & to drink from the most top part of the bag as possible as its cooler than in the middle or bottom.

my grandpa told me this when i was young. so the reason they use plastic bag was really dated back from the late 80s , in the 70s or later they used to use the carnation milk cans as a holder for drinks but it quickly became impractical as the cans are limited and not every safe to hang in your lorries for construction workers. thus the plastic bag came to use. in the 70s singapore is still in a relative poor and developing country they do no have what it means cup like the modern times and plastic is expensive back then. so why till this date they still use plastic bags? well plastic bags now are cheap like 1.20 for 200pc but a plastic cup or styrofoam cup is about 1.20 per 50pc so there you have it the reason to use plastic bags

They switch to foam cups now a days. Only older stores/shops do this now. The coffee cool down faster in this form. I usually have a mug kept at where I'm drinking coffee so I just slot the whole bag into my mug when I get there.

what a great mother-in-law you have. participating and fun to be with.

Ur MIL is an amazing promoter 😂 now that you’ve tried hot drink in a bag, try cold drinks in the bag. I rmb how the condensation used to drip drip drip, I always had tissue wrapping the bottom of the bag 😂

i always da bao in the cup for hot drinks for that reason haha but this is normal in the older hawker centers (:

They used to put noodle soup in those bags too for take outs.

It is something very stupid too. The hot liquid will cause micro plastics leaching into the kopi. I will always ask for the “condensed milk tin” if I need to tapau. Not plastic bag and foam cups. Most fearful is plastic line paper wrapper like chow kway teow. HSA needs to look into these.

You can also get soft drinks poured into the plastic bag + ice added.

We're practical people. Cheap, fast togo, no fuss. It used to be iced coke in plastic bags when it was sold in bottles.

I’m Singaporean and I can’t drink hot drinks out of that bag too. Would also pick the takeaway cups over this if available.

reminds me of countries that have milk bags, also i will always buy kopi and bring home to hang it on my table side stand while working, it feels off not to drink kopi in a bag for me

Last time people use condensed milk cans. Then move to plastic bag which is more for takeaway. The bag probably made of heatproof plastic. Some western chef cooks food in plastic also. Older zichar stall uses paper box with plastic sheet to tie and wrap saucy food like hor fun and ee mee.

You should ask the coffee aunty to put the coffee in a condensed milk tin. Really old school. The coffee taste is even better

I blow bubble into the hot coffee pack to cool it if I wanna consume it immediately. Otherwise it cools in a while.

Then carrying it home in the car trunk/boot on hooks which boggles my mind. Yeah - plastic and hot drinks plus plastic straw is not best combo or very green - paper cups are much more biodegradable. What I find ironic is so much focus is paid to making Singapore green and sustainable but then so much disposable plastic is used.

Rhis is only for take away . . . There is another older option during my time as a kid. The condensed milk usually comes in small tin can. If U want take away, they would fill up d whole can with a handle.

Let me explain to you. In Malaysia and Spore olden day, coffee or red tea, normally drink mixed with sugar n condensed milk. Condensed milk come jn a metal can. During those time,there is no plastic bag n so when you want to takeaway tbe hot drink you either bring yr own container or the coffee shop will use the empty condensed milk can to contain the coffee or tea for you to take away. But now they have paper n plastic cup n so people used to drink from cup n like the lady said, if you don't use the plastic bag, , it is cheaper as the cup cost money....maybe 10cts more

you can order like 10 bags of coffee portions and carry it easily. difficult to buy 10 cups to tapau.

Press down on the straw to control the flow of the coffee more efficiently. And your fingers will be able to know if its too hot before it reach your tongue.

袋に入ったホットドリンク懐かし〜！ サーモマグに袋のまま入れれば飲み終わったマグを洗わなくていいから便利かも👍

Where got special....LIM PEH always put my coffee in 'sheng siong ' bag 🤭😂😁

My dad always buy kopi in a bag for me and he hang it in his car where the windshield wiper is 😂

Actually quite simple lah.. 😅 Back in 50s, 60s, most want to quickly get breakfast on the move. Not exactly have Starbucks back then, kopitiams serving out hot coffee in plastic bags are the fastest and simplest way to go. Also alot ride bicycles and on way to work, plastic bag coffee will be able to cool sufficiently down by the time you reach workplace and can drink straight from it. Anyway, if you die die want to drink right away, you simply blow bubbles into the drink to accelerate the cooling and can drink lah! 🤪

They use also milkmaid condense milk can for coffee as well last time.

It is cheaper than cup but still I don't like using plastic! Wah! your MIL really is good for promoting goods for you.

back in the early days, maybe 50s or 60s. no paper cup. and the main mode of transport is trishaw or rickshaw. the cyclist will hang those tins of coffee on the bike handle. it then evolve to plastic bags. i think this is why u see it in singapore and malaysia.
