My personal favourite spread is kaya, a coconut jam spread originated from Malay culture. It is made from sugar, egg, coconut milk and optional pandan leaves. The secret of a good kaya is having no wheat flour and colouring or other nasty chemicals as the ingredients. Home-made fresh kaya taste the best.
Last year, an Aunt brought me to this famous chain coffee shop before sending my home at Harbour Front Ferry Terminal. I ordered their signature traditional kaya toast.
Once bitten, the freshly toasted warm bread with perfect texture blended flawlessly with the kaya and cold butter between, seductively melt in my mouth. Love at first taste.
"It tasted like heaven!" Auntie ordered more for me to eat at the ferry right away after I complimented the taste. Thank you so much, Auntie!
This kaya toast is what that makes me looking forward to come back to Singapore when at Jakarta. Finally, I get to taste it again this year. Unfortunately, it's not what I expected.
I had it at around 2-3 different chain of Toast Box, and none of them taste as good.
I told few people I knew about it, and their reply was "No kaya toast in coffee shop chain taste good anymore." Oh well, since it is franchise, no wonder if their quality suffered as well. But, probably the one located at Harbour Front Ferry Terminal is still as good, tight? As it's far, I didn't go there.
I only hope that Toast Box will pay more attention to their quality despite the fast growth. It's part of BreadTalk family, so I believe that they will do something about it. Best wishes to you! :)
