Multi Purpose KD's Nyonya Kaya

Perhaps you are asking, "How can I use KD's Nyonya Kaya (Coconut Jam)? Is the kaya only good on toast?"

The comments from customers that they prefer our Nyonya Kaya compared to those sold in the asian groceries, because KD's kaya is "thick not watery like those sold in bottles". The thick and rich texture of KD's home-made kaya is our promise to our loyal customers; we use no perservatives, no coloring and no flavourings. Due to the thick and rich flavour of the Nyonya Kaya, this coconut jam can be used in many other ways.










Kaya on Toast

It is a classic way most Malaysian and Singaporean enjoy Kaya. Butter or margarine may be spread as well to have an extra flavour.

Kaya with crepes

We have used the nyonya kaya as a filling for crepes; Kenny loves french crepes and make crepes very well. With the kaya on hand it comes in very handy as a sweet jam for the crepes.
On Friday, we made Kaya Roll and I must say it tasted fantastic! The flavour balance was just so right! The sponge cake was smooth and soft, and as you chew it in the mouth the kaya melts. The richness and flavoursome kaya made the roll a heavenly bite! If you plan to make Kaya Roll using KD's Nyonya Kaya there is no need to reduce the sugar or to add pandan paste into the sponge roll; the balance is just right.

Bubur Cha Cha



Bubur Cha Cha is a popular Malaysian Nyonya dessert consisting of a medley of sweet potatoes in different colours, yam (taro), tapioca flour jelly, and sago pearls in a fragrant sweet coconut sauce.

Bubur is a Malay word for porridge or broth and Cha-Cha (sometimes pronounced as Che-Che in Penang, north-west coast of Peninsular Malaysia) means abundance or plentiful.

It's a tradition for Penang people of Hokkien descent to serve this dessert on the 15th day of Chinese New Year, otherwise known as Chap Goh Mei. Therefore, it's considered auspicious to serve Bubur Cha Cha to family and friends during that celebration.

Price: $3.00 per bowl

Update on Nyonya Kaya and our New Product

Recently KD's Malaysian Delight received a number of comments on our Nyonya Kaya, "the texture of our kaya is rough." Our chef, Kenny, has now improved on the Nyonya Kaya! Good news! Due to the difference in the heating method used here in Australia, which is a hot plate version compared to a gas stove in Malaysia, the way of heating the Nyonya Kaya has been improved.

KD's Malaysian Delight's Nyonya Kaya is now silky smooth!!

Adding to our list of local Malaysian delights is the 'Bee Koh Moy', or known in Malay as 'Bubur Pulut Hitam, and in English as Black Glutinuos Rice Pudding/Porridge. This home-made Nyonya delicacy has a creamy texture and topped with salted coconut milk. Having made and tried ourselves, we must say that this pudding is excellent!

...Looking forward in seeing you patronizing Dahlia's Kitchen at West End Market to savour home-made delights by KD's Malaysian Delights.

Kaya (Coconut Jam)



This homemade kaya jam goes fantastically well on thick toast; with butter and a generous serve of jam it fills the senses with comfort and satisfaction. This coconut jam is an all time favourite among many Malaysians who have this jam for breakfast, tea and anytime of the day.

KD's Malaysian Delights make kaya following the nyonya method, and the outcome of this nyonya technique is a smooth golden jam. The recipe used by KD's Malaysian Delights is a home recipe, which has been used by Kenny's mother; no coloring or artificial flavorings are used.

This freshly made coconut jam is made dedicatedly by hand; the recipe requires at least 1.5 hours of constant stirring of the jam to produce the kaya jam!

Price: $6 (400gm)
