I used to regularly frequent Toast Box or Ya Kun Kaya Toast in Singapore during weekends and the breakfast queues are snaking long. You can also find other variations like – pork floss toast, thick peanut butter toast, butter sugar toast or plain kaya toast without the butter. They are traditional served with runny half boiled eggs which you can mix and add some soy sauce to turn it into a dip. This may sound gross, but it surprisingly goes well together!

Notes
*The earlier you consume your kaya, the fresher and less sour it tastes. Do not keep for more than 2 weeks as the kaya is fresh and will have a high tendency to spoil.Â
