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
