Pettitoes?

I was driving through Balestier Road on my way back from badminton when I saw the signboard of this place. It is called Pigs Claypot Pettitoes. I spent about a minute wondering what Pettitoes are. I remember pigs dancing on their hind legs in cartoons and remembered their cute pink hooves. Perhaps Pettitoes means petticoats on toes? heh.

I asked my best friend reliable as she is. And this is what I found out:


pet⋅ti⋅toes  /ˈpɛtiˌtoʊz/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [pet-ee-tohz] Show IPA

–plural noun 1. the feet of a pig, esp. used as food.
2. the human toes or feet, esp. those of a child.

The wonders of Google, my best friend.
