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 pastry made from the same ingredients as the outer skin of a traditional mooncake, or effectively a mooncake without any fillings. It traditionally comes in interesting shapes such as a pig/piglet, generic fish, koi, crab, the zodiac animal of the year, etc., but can feasibly be made in any shape. It is a popular snack that can be found at most local bakeries, especially during the Mooncake Festival season.
