* 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.

definitions
noun
- a thick stew or dip of mashed fava beans, mixed with various spices and usually topped with sliced red onions, sliced green chillies, and an egg. It is typically served with bread for dipping. It is derived from the Egyptian (and Middle Eastern / North African) breakfast dish ful mudammas, but has diverged significantly from it (e.g. using only fully-mashed or blended beans, being spicy, and using more local spices).
The kacang pool was a hearty and wholesome dish designed for maximum impact – it filled me up with everything I needed to start my day and was a cutlery-optional pleasure to eat.
