Come, Go Kopi Lah! – The Singapore ABC Book: A Fun A–Z Guide to Singapore’s Slang, Food, and Famous Places

The Singapore ABC Book Every Local, Tourist & Homesick Heart Needs

From "Bo Jio" to "Chope" — a beautifully illustrated A–Z that captures Singapore exactly the way Singaporeans live it.

Forget generic travel guides. This is Singapore as you actually know it: the Ang Moh tucking into durian at the hawker centre, the tissue packet claiming a table at lunch hour, the smell of rain on the way before the first drop falls. Every page is a love letter to the Lion City — witty, warm, and unmistakably ours.

Across 58 pages of soft, vibrant illustrations, each letter unlocks a piece of Singaporean life: Bo Jio, Da Bao, Economic Rice, HDB, Gardens by the Bay, and so many more. Charming rhymes pair with detailed scenes that locals will recognise instantly — and visitors will fall in love with.

The book opens with a heartfelt dedication to everyone who calls Singapore home: from those who queue without complaint to those who can smell rain before it falls. It's the kind of book that makes you smile on the first page and keep flipping just to see what's next.
