释义

名词

一种加入肉末或肉碎的面,在新加坡是道常见的美食。

DEFINITION

Noun

A type of noodle dish commonly found in Singapore, which contains minced or ground meat.

由来
  • 对于肉脞面的由来,有说法指这是一道源自潮州的美食,但也有一说是肉脞面是新马一带的潮州人自创的。
  • “脞”一字在潮州话是指“末儿、碎儿”,而肉脞则是指肉末或肉碎,所以从中可以看出“肉脞”与潮州人和潮州话息息相关。
  • 在新马一带,所谓“古早味”的肉脞面配料多,其中包括香菇、肉脞、猪肝、猪肉丸、鱼饼、鱼圆和鱼饺,还有不可缺少的酥脆猪油渣,让这道美食更加色香味俱全。
ETYMOLOGY
  • It is believed that there are several possible origins of bak chor mee. One belief is that it is a delicacy that originated from Chaozhou, China. Another belief is that the dish was created by the Teochews living in Singapore and Malaysia. 

  • The word “脞chor)means “ground or minced” in the Teochew dialect, with “肉脞”(bak chor)referring to ground or minced meat. Hence, it is clear from the name alone that the dish is closely associated with the Teochews and their dialect.

  • In Singapore and Malaysia, traditional bak chor mee consists of numerous toppings such as braised mushrooms, minced meat, pork liver, pork meatballs, fish cakes, fish balls, fish dumplings, as well as deep fried pork lard, which is a must have item. These ingredients all come together to create a dish that is not only visually appealing but tastes and smells delicious as well.

例句
本地的肉脞面可称得上是新加坡小贩美食的代表。虽说是“潮州”肉脞面,在潮汕一带却未曾见过。(《联合早报》,29/12/2018)
SAMPLE SENTENCE
