* 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
- potstickers, a type of distinctly sail-shaped Chinese dumpling usually stuffed with a ground meat like pork or beef, and vegetables such as chives. It has a vaguely triangular cross-section, with a flat base that is often intentionally burnt slightly when pan-frying to produce a crispy texture.
... the dumplings were crunchy, and pan-fried fresh. And that chive goodness truly did not hold back. The flavour was vibrant and the guo tie skin had that perfect springy kick.
