Chimbridge Singlish Dictionary

definitions

noun

1. a pastry made from the same ingredients as the outer skin of a traditional mooncake, or effectively a mooncake without any fillings, which is molded into the shape of a pig or piglet. Each pastry is often sold in a colourful little plastic basket, like how pigs would be sold in woven baskets at a traditional market. It is a popular snack that can be found at most local bakeries, especially during the Mooncake Festival season.

All participants will get a "piggy" mooncake for your efforts and the winners' parents or guardians will receive a box of mooncakes. So start making your lanterns, kids.
