Also, Oriole in Capitol Plaza might be ok. If you like Vietnamese coffee, there’s excellent Trung Nguyen at Marina Bay Sands.

If you want it without sugar, “kopi oh kosong” (koh-song). Most locals drink coffee with condensed milk, “kopi c” (koh-pee see).

Almost correct. It's a common misconception, but ordering plain "kopi" 
in a coffee shop might result in coffee with condensed/sweetened milk; 
Kopi-C however comes with evaporated milk (which isnt as sweet) instead 
of condensed milk. The "C" in the name is derived from "Carnation", a 
common brand of evaporated milk.
