Kopi peng - ice coffee with evaporated milk, add the words "siew tai" after means less sugar
Kopi Si - coffee with condensed milk
Kopi - Coffee with condensed milk
Kopi C - Coffee with evaporated milk and sugar
If you want tea, it's Teh.
Or Yin Yang for a concoction of 50% Kopi & 50% Teh.
At some places, you can order Nescafe coffee as well. Just tell the guy you want a cup of Nescafe

If I remember correctly, most of the stalls in Maxwell operate in the day(mainly lunchtime business) and it can get really hot and stuffy there.

Maxwell is good too.
Other hawker centres and food centres in Chinatown are good too.
Tiong Bahru is good too.
Newton is quite ex and caters mainly to the tourists.
Katong has a lot of good eateries. Adam Road hawker centre has good Nasi Lemak.
Well, it would be easier if the OP has an idea on what he wants to eat.

Do take any 'review' by this infamous bimbo with a very large grain of salt.
You can search for Xiaxue's iPhone Review to see what I mean...

I pretty much figured that she was not any sort of culinary expert at all, but it was a little bit entertaining anyway.
At least now I know what Hokkien Mee is.

And to add on, Milo is often called "Tak kiu", which is "kick ball" in hokkien!
It is also possible to specify if you wish to have the drink thicker or thinner, which are "kao" and "poh" respectively. The word is usually added as the suffix, so it goes like:
- Kopi-O Poh
- Milo Peng Kao
Etc!Help make this article a better one!

The fares to my place in Newton was S$19.60, much much more exp than the usual $14-15 I used to pay a year ago.
And if you are trapped in the city area with lots of ERP gantries, good luck to u....your ERP fees will cost you more than the taxi ride itself. I experienced this during my trip from Newton to the Esplanade in July 2008.
It's still cheaper than taxi rides here in HKG, although they just increased fares here just before the Christmas holiday. You will pay more for short distance and less for long distance ride.

The Zi Char at Commonwealth is sexual.
Maxwell and Tiong Bahru are good too.
Newton as mentioned is a tourist trap and don't care for LPS. East Coast Laguna is overrated since the renovation. Pre-renovation was great.
Jago Close in East Coast and its opposite stalls (like Mei Yuen) used to be pretty good.
Not hawker centres but the Teochew Muay at Henderson is tops.
There's more variety and taste in a S'pore food court than in all of Middle East cuisine.
