It’s no surprise that there is some food that I want to bring home with me from every place we go. In Singapore, one of my favorite foods was Kaya Jam – a breakfast spread made of coconut milk or cream, eggs, and lots of sugar. It tastes almost like a crystalline version of a rich coconut custard! If you want to be traditional, eat it spread on toast with coffee. Surprisingly, the fat and sugar keep me fueled for a while (but it is probably good that I don’t know where to buy it, because the sugar isn’t that healthy!)

The version below was colored and flavored with pandan leaves, which is why it’s green. Mostly I just tasted coconut.
