Kaya Toast
Check Out: Half-Boiled Egg Recipe
I’m not a bread person but kaya toast is an exception. To me, it’s a treat to wake up to a traditional Singapore breakfast with kaya toast, teh/kopi and half-boiled eggs. This type of breakfast is common in my childhood in traditional coffeshops and then it died off for a few years until Ya Kun made it hip and popular again by setting up trendy joints all over town. I love that it is so easy and cheap to put together at home so that I can enjoy it on a lazy weekend morning, in the comfort of my home. Sorry, no recipe for making kaya or bread, I’m just putting the sandwich together. Next time if I do learn to make my own kaya, I’ll post the recipe.
For best results, buy the bread from a traditional bakery where the bread is longish (not square) and the bread skin has already been trimmed. The bread is usually softer and fluffier in texture but they don’t keep very long due to a lack of preservatives (which is a good thing). These bread are usually available in rainbow, brown or white and I use brown (preferred) or white bread for kaya toast. If you’re using normal white bread bought from supermarkets, trim away the edges (with the skin) of the bread before toasting.
i miss this … always had it at yakun last time.
my favorite food of all times! yours look delicious!
I am so making this for tea today. :)
Viola! This is my favorite breakfast. Yummy!
Gorgeous photo!
U even have the kopi cup set which i also have :p
Kaya toast is my weekly staple. I cannot live without it!
haha this is a must have for our ‘collection’ :p
I like this roti kahwin too, best to serve it with a cup of kopi-O !
This is what I eat most morning here with a cup of milo. I actually don’t have a choice as there is no chee cheon fun, roti canai or laksa here for breakfast :)
I have kaya cheese toast almost everyday. I find it convenient.
hi wiffy,
nice writeup on the kaya toast. Definitely a good choice for breakfast. I’m yearning for my Yakun toast after reading this.
cheers
