EN: turner; spatula
That flat thingy you use to flip fried eggs, hotdogs, or pancakes. It's the official weapon of choice for moms threatening to discipline you ('Gusto mo paluin kita ng siyansi?'), but also the magic wand that brings you your perfectly cooked sunny-side up.
From Hokkien Chinese 煎匙 (tsian-sî), literally 'frying spoon/ladle'.
A very common household and kitchen term in the Philippines.
