What the teh order names mean
Teh is tea with condensed milk, O means without milk, C means with evaporated milk, halia means ginger, siu dai means less sugar and kosong means no added sugar. HPB has no separate entry for teh kosong (condensed milk, no sugar), so the kosong rows here are teh O kosong and teh C kosong.
