The global reach of Australian coffee culture
Sydney
RAJ and Sharon Sidhu quit their steady public service jobs in Singapore last year to open a café in the city-state, one of Asia's most competitive coffee-selling markets. For an edge, they spent a month learning the trade in Sydney.
"That's where our gurus are," Raj said over the telephone from his "House of Commons" coffee bar in Singapore's vibrant Little India neighbourhood. "Everyone who's got a café here is influenced by the coffee movement in Australia. Even our decorations - clocks, scales, rugs, burlap coffee bags - it's all from Sydney."
