To be more correct to the Singlish phrase, Mama should have spelt it as "Hot meh" but that's how I pronounce it, "Hot mare?!" complete with doubt in my tone.
I had been saying it for a while, perhaps the last week or two but my parents did not take note until recently. When it's meal time and if I am told some food that I want to eat is hot and I should be careful, I will say,"Hot mare?!". Yes, there is a tone of doubt and unbelief in my tone when I say this.
Or perhaps, if I find the food to be hot, I will also say,"Hot mare?!". Looks like I don't really know what I am saying.. :D
