释义

名词

西式的面包和糕点。也写作 “西菓”。

DEFINITION

Noun

Western breads and cakes. Also written in Mandarin as “西菓”.

由来
  • 有说法认为 “西果” 一词源自海南话。
  • 新加坡的海南人是较早接触到西式面包烘培和蛋糕制作技术的族群。海南人也因此以制作西式糕点闻名。
  • 在海南话里，“果” 和 “糕” 属于同音字，所以或因为误写或方便书写，早期人们就以 “西果” 一词来指西式糕点，并沿用至今。
  • 新加坡早期的面包坊一般都称之为 “西果店” 或 “西菓店”。
  • 新加坡早期传统的西果店都设在组屋区，规模较小，多是家庭生意。
  • 1990 年代后，越来越多西果店开始在繁忙的购物大街和金融商业区营业。
ETYMOLOGY
  • It is believed that the term “西果” originated from the Hainanese dialect.
  • The Hainanese in Singapore picked up Western bread-baking and cake-making techniques at an earlier date. Hence, the Hainanese became famous for making Western cakes.
  • “果” (fruit) and “糕” (cake) are homophones in the Hainanese dialect. Perhaps as a result of miswriting or convenience, the term “西果” was used to refer to Western cakes in the early days and has been used till today.
  • In the early days, bakeries in Singapore were generally referred to as “西果店” or “西菓店”, which both mean “shop selling Western breads and cakes”.
  • The early traditional confectioneries in Singapore were located in Housing and Development Board estates, smaller in scale, and mostly family-run businesses.
  • After the 1990s, more confectioneries started to operate on busy shopping streets, and business and financial districts.
