Woah! Auntie Liz, the double boiler is so nostalgic! I remember my late Grandmother used to use it to double boil all sorts of goodness! Making kaya is a lot of work. I am lazy. I buy Fong Yit Brown Caramel Kaya in Singapore. This is my favourite brand!

This remind me when I’m cooked the Kaya to my Beijing friend years back with limited ingredients I can get in the local hypermarket, unfortunately can’t get the Pandan leaves. It’s my first attempt to make Kaya with limited kitchenware at my friend house too. Never expected the stirring taken up so much time. However, blessed enough it turns up good… 😮‍💨. Glad that my friend enjoy it and brought to her parent too. Thanks for Aunty Liz sharing the recipe, I will try to make it again when I’m have time. 😂😂😂

I'd been hearing about Kaya for a while and finally picked up a jar - now I'm addicted. (Although I just spread butter on rather than putting actual slices of butter between the bread) I've been trying the various commercial brands at the local Asian supermarkets and shops to see if there is a brand that I much prefer over the others. I will have to get one of my friends to pick up a jar of yours the next time they are in the UK (assuming it's OK to carry through customs) and bring it back to Australia.

Sorry doubt australia will allow it through customs due to it containing animal product (egg), but have a try making it!

Absolutely mouthwatering. I wonder if this version of kaya tastes different from the "Green" kaya that's also available in Singapore?

@lawrencelau5728 4 ай бұрын

It’s different and taste different, this orange version is caramelized Hainan style Kaya while the green Kaya does not add caramel just pandan leaves thus it’s green and it’s the Nyonya Kaya style. Both are equally popular in Singapore, depends on individual preference😊

Do Singaporeans have the brand that comes in a large but short red tin. I ate that brand of kaya about a month ago, and suddenly I was transported back to my childhood. Also, Auntie Liz, instead of butter try putting a slice of cheese between your kaya toast. You will not regret it!

A Singaporean food vlogger (Dancing Bacons) called pandan "Asian vanilla" in a recent video. It's pretty horrid by itself, but it just adds so much to whatever it gets put into. I was thinking that gula melaka would have been the sugar used historically. But the flavours in it would have quite an effect on the final taste of your kaya- and not necessarily for the better. You don't mention pandan extract. Fresh is best, but sometimes one must make do with what one can get. It also, from my experience, tends to be coloured a very vivid artificial green. Hot toast and cold butter combine really well. I was told as a kid to eat my crusts otherwise I wouldn't get curly hair. Add this dish of deliciousness to a couple of half-boiled eggs with white pepper and soy sauce. Wash it down with either a kopitiam coffee or a glass of sweet, black Cameron Highlands tea- teh O. This would be on high rotation for breakfast. One day this, the next a roti prata/canai, the next a Western/Singaporean scrambled eggs with turkey sausages and bacon (halal one!), and maybe a combination of what we in Australia call "Singapore noodles" and chicken curry on the fourth day. Fruit, cereal, and yoghurt would be for a brunch.

@paulwagner688 4 ай бұрын

When reheating, should you use the double boiler to bring it gently up? And to about what temperature?

@AuntieLiz 4 ай бұрын

Once it’s at the right consistency for you then it’s fully cooked and you can let it cool and store in the fridge. The heat of the toast is usually enough to help it come back to room temp.

Ms Liz, Everything looks incredibly delicious, and I love butter, and in fact I eat too much per my blood work but the large slab just freaks me out (most ppl would run from the soft boiled eggs, not me) but some childhood trauma at work here, is it like a complete since to jsut as for a big ol swipe, not a block of the butter/
