* Singlish is a largely spoken creole, and as such descriptivism (recording forms that reflect actual pronunciation in spoken language, or as appearing in the linguistic corpus) is more pertinent than strict prescriptivism. Nevertheless, the use of more standard forms (or for words originating in languages with Latin script, such as Malay, accurate to the original spelling) is recommended and encouraged.

Fu Shi in Marsiling has its fair share of regular customers. They offer three types of cut: a leaner pork shoulder, fatty pork belly and a tender underarm cut. Their Char Siew Rice costs $3.50, but we heartily recommend that you top-up $1 for some roasted pork.
