Coffee shop talk

"Coffee shop talk" is a phrase used to describe gossip because it is often a familiar sight at kopi tiams where a group of workers or senior citizens would linger over cups of coffee and exchange news and comments on various topics including national politics, office politics, TV dramas, and food?

Kopitiams in Malaysia, like in Singapore are found almost everywhere. However, there are a few differences in kopitiams between both countries.

In Malaysia:
the term kopitiam in Malaysia is usually referred specifically to Malaysian Chinese coffeeshops;
food in a kopitiam is usually exclusively Malaysian Chinese cuisine;
kopitiam menus are usually not as informative as those in Singapore, where pictures of food items are the norm;
food courts and hawker centres are usually not referred to as kopitiams.

coffee shop talk...talk...talk.... how many decisions were made at coffee shops everyday?
millions! how to use it in country's business.
