An Ode to Bak Kut [shared by Lisa]

Extracted from Singlish Bible Wiki

Genesis 2 : 20-25
 

". ²⁰ So the man give the name to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

But cannot find someone dao ka qiu for Adam leh. ²¹ So the Lord God make him knockout; and while he koon, he took one of the bak kut, then closed up the place with bak. ²²Then the Lord God made a char bor from the bak kut from the man, and he bring her to the man.

²³ Adam say,

“This is now bones of my bones

and flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called 'cha bor,'

'cos she was taken out of Man."

²⁴ That is why man must siam his father and mother, go combine with wife, and they become one flesh.

²⁵ Adam and his wife bo cheng sa bo cheng kor, and they buay paiseh."

 

May we all rejoice in our Heavenly Father's love and his providence of Bak Kut Teh!Happy Valentines Day to all! :)
