The Asian Way

My mother just shamed my cloud latte “art” (by art I mean it’s really just a blob of foam sitting in the middle of my cup).

She pointed to an article in the paper and said, “Look. Aunty in old kopitiam* also can make star shape.”

The shame is real.

 

*literally translates to “coffee shop”

I’m basically a hipster/druggie degenerate gambler to everyone they know.
