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.

definitions

noun

  1. a soft, moist, spongy cake traditionally made from sago or tapioca flour (but often also rice flour), which is mixed with sugar, coconut milk, eggs, and an optional flavouring such as pandan or banana, then fermented with yeast (traditionally palm wine) before baking. Due to the fermentation process, the cake has characteristic long bubbles stretching from the top to the bottom. Despite the name, it is likely to have originated in Medan, Indonesia.

    2. Up till then I haven’t even eaten the original Kuih Bingka Ambon from Medan, but I knew that what I baked was no where close to the real thing.
