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.
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!
Thank you, Auntie Liz! I’ve been reading and hearing about Kaya jam for a little while now and this explains it so well. Will have to give it a try since I can find fresh pandan nearby.
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. 😂😂😂
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!
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.
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.
Now Liz, it’s one thing to hack away at mushroom stems recklessly but another thing all together to carve off the bread crusts from a Kaya toast. The humanity…..
i dont really care about the toast. i want the receipe for the eggs. Not those lousy just soak in boiling water for 7 mins recipe. None of them replicates the silky smooth consistency of the whites wrapping over the yolks in a beautiful translucent layer. how? i saw some comments where they say its a 2 step process of soaking. but i still can't get it right unless i use a souvide machine. anyone knows the secret?

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

Great way to start my morning. Thank you for everything you do. Love your vids. Just like you your dish are beautiful
Looks very authentic! Am sure it’s delicious. Loving your double boiler pots, they’re cute and vintage.
Thanks so much! 😊
You can cut the toast however you like. Some places cut into a heart shape ❤
Absolutely mouthwatering. I wonder if this version of kaya tastes different from the "Green" kaya that's also available in Singapore?
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😊
Kaya toast is one of the most delicious Singaporean breakfasts ever
Definitely is
@@AuntieLiz maybe followup with a short vid on how to make the kaya toast's partner? the soft boiled eggs and kopi-o? :D tha-bomb!
Had this at Mei Mei the other day, it was SO good!
Thanks for visiting!! 😍
Well done Auntie Liz. I'm looking forward to your next video.
Thank you!

Teh c siew di for me pls

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

pandan smell very nice and pleasant by itself!
Liz, do you agree that Kaya jam is basically coconut custard, or even more so pastry cream???
More a curd as the base is eggs not milk!
Auntie lizz what's a good replacement for pandan i can't find it near me
You can use a leek.
@@jr.bobdobbs😂
Order pandan essence online - then make without and add a touch of that.
The crust are the best bits!
I get to eat them dont worry.
Kaya-Toast without halfboiled egg?
Yeh consider this a part 1 introduction for the basics lesson. Feel like kaya could have it's own series :)
@@AuntieLiz good idea
Basically, there are two types of kaya: The golden-brown type and the green type. I prefer this golden-brown type.
That's some serious caloriea & sweetness.😊
Sure is but worth it
Now Liz, it’s one thing to hack away at mushroom stems recklessly but another thing all together to carve off the bread crusts from a Kaya toast.
The humanity…..
I get to eat them dont worry. Many places cut the crusts off and I never do this when i make my own bread! 🍞
wait, why not sous vide it?
🙂👍
I always thought kaya jam contains custard apple because of its name...
How about a Thermomix?
Waiting for thermomix to come enter the sponsorship room lol
Type 2 says no 🤣
Haha fair
My daughter's name is Kaia. She said "Don't eat me!"
Hehe cute
Thank you for the weekly joy.

Your posted recipe says 375ml of coconut cream and you narrate 375g.. Because you were on a scale I’m going to assume it’s 375g.. wish me luck!
1g =1ml roughly
You use egg yolks instead of all whole egg
My recipe x
camera man has parkinsons?
Harsh. Was filming straight after arms day innthe gym
@@AuntieLiz alright cool
LMAO 😅
