for black coffee, the regular freeze dried nescafe coffee was my go-to and i moved on the nescafe gold blend, slightly pricier but it doesn't have the sour after taste that the regular leaves behind.

on days i feel i want something creamier, i go for either Ah Huat's or Chek Hup's, the ones WITHOUT sugar because the ones with are basically inviting diabetes with open arms.

as of now, i've ditched all instant coffees and moved on to good old freshly brewed espressos.
