Kaya Toast

Kaya Toast is the quintessential Singaporean breakfast, a charcoal-toasted sandwich of crisp bread spread thickly with kaya, a sweet jam made from coconut milk, eggs, sugar, and pandan. A slab of cold butter is placed between the hot toast, creating a glorious contrast of temperatures and textures. It is always served alongside soft-boiled eggs seasoned with dark soy and white pepper, and a cup of thick, aromatic kopi.
