shiok

Originally a Malay exclamation, but now a universal Singaporean expression denoting extreme pleasure or the highest quality.

1. “This char kway teow is damn shiok, man!”
2. “I ate the char kway teow until damn shiok.”

taken from the coxford singlish dictionary. but doesn't that make it seem like the only thing that deserves to be labelled as shiok is char kway teow?
