* 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 soup of mutton (usually from goat) cubes boiled in a rich, oily broth of several spices including cumin, turmeric, fennel, curry powder, and coriander. It is often topped with fried shallots and served with bread. It is believed to ultimately be inspired by Arab cuisine, though the version often associated with Indian Muslim eateries in Singapore and Malaysia (and which is the most common one found there) has several original innovations and ingredients, and has diverged significantly from the original dish. It is commonly eaten in Malay and related cultures throughout Nusantara.
'I remember. Oh, that sup kambing.' Prakesh rolled his eyes. 'That soup was magic. It’s from a secret recipe. No ordinary human knows what goes into it!'
