Ask you all ah, what does "milo gao beng" mean to you?

I ordered this at a stall and the auntie added tons of condensed milk. End up I can barely drink it. Then when I told her it was too sweet, she said I "asked for gao what, gao means extra milk". Really meh? I though "gao"/"poh" refer to the base drink, e.g. tea or coffee? Or is it different for Milo?

Kenna scolded by her like that for trying to clarify, lol, really champion service from the old-school stall assistant type.

I believe auntie may not fully know this, as you said, gau should be for base drink, but if you order Tut Kiu, gaou would be meaning to add extra milo, she may interpret it as extra milk instead of extra milo, or it should be order as milo dinosaur?:s8:

I think she genuinely got it wrong...if more milo powder she can charge more anyway.

Teh gao, Kopi gao, all means add condensed milk?

She claimed that extra milo is called "nong" and I should have said that. Well duh, isn't "gao" the Hokkien equivalent of "nong"?? Really dunno what to say.

Anyway I've learnt my lesson, next time I will clarify with "milo fen duo, bu yao tai tian" I guess.

gau is extra base drink, not extra milk. but in this post, looks no one gave a firm answer how to order extra condensed milk or fresh milk. maybe 'Ka SuSu' and etc, i don't know. :s22::s22:

'gau' should be same meaning as 'nong'.

if u buy teh c or kopi c, its consists only of sugar, carnation milk.
so if u wan ga dai, means more sugar.

if u wan teh c or kopi c, more sweet more carnation milk, its ga dai ga c

if u buy teh or kopi, its consist only of condensed milk
so if u wan ga dai, means more condensed milk

if u wan teh kopi with c, means teh kopi ga c, meaning its with condensed milk and carnation milk.

'dai' is cantonese for bottom, so ga dai means heavier bottom, meaning more sugar or condensed milk

ok, after read carefully. could I say:
teh/kopi : using Condensed milk, its sweetened by condensed. so ga dai is add sugar effectively. because auntie won't add additional sugar.
teh/kopi c :using Evaporated milk, its sweetened by sugar. so ga dai is add sugar genuinely.

so for both teh/kopi, tehC/kopiC,
* to ask additional sugar just ask 'ga dai'.
* to ask additional milk without additional sugar, just ask 'ga c'.

wonder, if want to ask additional sugar without additional milk for teh/kopi, could I say 'ga dai no ga C'? :s13::s13:

Dai is sugar(Tan 糖) or bottom(Di 底)? I always think its sugar. :s22:
