Kaya Toast


When Yvette came for a visit in October, she brought with her a travel-guide and a wealth of information about what the "locals" do here in Singapore. One of the things she introduced me to was Kaya Toast (a breakfast treat served at the local coffee shops. . . toasted white bread, a slab of butter and coconut egg jam). I was hooked the first time I tried it!

I just discovered a little coffee shop only a few bus stops down the road (opposite direction from the way I usually go), so Caleb and I went there yesterday to enjoy some hot chocolate, Kaya, and a little reading-time. All for less than $5-Sing.

It was a delightful morning outing and one I plan on repeating soon. . . but not too soon, because Kaya isn't exactly low-calorie!

Looks like fun! Sounds very interesting, I wonder what the recipe is?

I Love Kaya toast!
I thoroughly enjoyed the kaya that you brought me in December! I am glad that we went to the Kaya shop that day... travel books come in handy so much (even if Dustin disapproves of them ;) )

What a pleasant outing! Isn't it fun that Caleb is getting old enough to cooperate? Anytime reading is involved, it's a treat.

Kaya sounds interesting. Maybe I'll get to taste it someday (wistful sigh).

P.S. Is that One Small Boat on the table?
