Inspired by Neil Pasricha's 1000 Awesome Things. This is the SGean in Japan version:
According to the Coxford Dictionary of Singlish, tok kong is defined as such:
TOK KONG
Hokkien term meaning “superb” or “top of the line”.
1. “Check out his DVD player. Tok kong, man!”
2. “Wah lau eh, Ah Lian’s body is si beh tok kong.”
Mee Kia is, similarly, a Hokkien term for 'thing'. Its Chinese equivalent is shi4 qin3 or 事情.
So, this is tok kong mee kia (or TKMK since we Singaporeans do so love our acronyms) #1000:
Freshly baked bread from your own machine. Yum!! Andrea my darling fellow Lit Pack / Sayang named it Wholey-Moley. I want to call it Whole-Mealy haha. It's wholemeal bread anyway.
