Kaya Making

We are the family who loves Kaya, that makes us one mile closer to Singapore, doesn't it. My children love it, my husband loves it, even I love it.

So....after constantly consuming two 500ml kaya bottles per week, I am brooding to "home-make". It is surely healthier, more economic....and, if I am lucky, maybe taster!

I can almost imagine the praises from my children flooring to me, "Wow, mummy, you made it!"

First step, Google, "Kaya making", easy-busy-lemon squeeze.

this is one I decided to use http://www.makantime.com/kaya.htm

Second step, find a day when baby sleeps longer, get all ingredients, eggs, sugar and coconut milk.

Then, I followed the receipt, which I am good at.:)

After an hour of no-sweet labor, my two cans of "home made" Kaya was "proudly" produced...except... the color was bit funny, and jam was a bit cuddled... but it does taste like Kaya, I assure you.

The next day, I shyly offered my kaya to my children.

"What is this? Mum?" with the ascending tone, grammatically correct though.

"It is Kaya, I made it!" I spoke loudly

"It doesn't look like Kaya."

"But it tastes like one. Try it."

"Yiiiii, No thanks."

Moment later, my husband entered into kitchen. I kept quiet, but he discovered the kaya bottle.

"What is ?" He asked

"Kaya, I made it." I said quickly, much lower volume this time.

"Enmmm, interesting." He took the jam, spreading on his bread, with some difficulties, of course. Then he had a bite.

"Ennmmmmm, delicious." He exclaimed, I know it, as he always does.

Moment later, I returned kitchen, to my horror, my home made kaya was half gone.

"Oh, dear, you don't have to eat that much to show me that you love me." I was really moved.

"But, I really like it!" My dear husband.

The next project, how to make kaya, which is not only taste like one, but looks like one too.!
