Kaya - My First Success

The kaya supply in my fridge has ended and my mum has gone back. I nervously went to the market this morning to buy the ingredients for making kaya later today. Coconut ... eggs ... pandan leaves and sugar ... the ingredients are easy ... what I lack is the 30+ years' experience of making kaya. I have made a few attempts before back in Kuching but all failed miserably.

I had everything right, ingredients ... measurements ... but the kaya just did not turn out right.

It was supposed to turn out like a paste, with jam-like consistency but it looked more like a egg custard. Ooooohhhhh, failure is bitter.

This time round, I made sure I understudied my mum aggressively for two months.

Hooohooooo, success is sweet!
