Commonly found variants; note these may range from acceptable alternatives to
non-standard forms or incorrect spellings*.
* 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.

Detailed etymology
definitions
noun
- a baked pastry of Cantonese origin with a buttery, flaky, and crispy crust, filled with char siew. It is a popular dish at dim sum restaurants, but can often also be found as a snack at local bakeries. It is usually somewhat tubular in shape, with flattened ends where the pastry skin is closed to seal in the contents. The top of the pastry is usually decorated with sesame seeds.
Ever since I first tried the Char Siew Sou at Yanting Restaurant four years ago, I’ve been on a hunt for the best in Singapore. Sadly, most places serve mediocre Baked BBQ Pork Puffs that aren’t worth the calories.
