The way you pronounce bread should be consistent with the way you pronounce dead, head, red, said etc. depending on the region you live. Also the correct British English (we’re a Commonwealth country) pronunciation of tomato IS toh-mah-toes.

More food terms that Singaporeans commonly f*** up are “abalone”, “geoduck” and “pomelo” I’m surprised you missed those out considering those are much much more commonly eaten here.

Well done on this list. There are a couple of Americanisations in there however, that I would like to address. The first is the definition of “entrée”. In America this can mean the main course of a meal, but in the civilised world (that is everywhere else), it refers to the first course – literally the entry in French.
The second is the pronunciation of Tomato – again an American pronunciation. In the real English speaking world , it is Toh-mah-toes.
