chut chut
* 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.

noun
- Cerithidea obtusa (a.k.a. red chut-chut), or the closely related species C. quadrata or C. quoyii (a.k.a. black chut-chut), an edible marine snail with a cone-shaped shell popular in Malay cuisine. It is typically prepared in a sambal or coconut milk-based curry gravy, and is eaten by slurping or sucking the meat out of the shell (hence the Malay name). The tip of the shell is usually snipped off to facilitate this.
We sequenced the complete mitogenome of the red chut-chut snail Cerithidea obtusa, from the Cần Giờ mangrove in Vietnam. The mitogenome is 15,708 bp long.
