Thanks to Ya Kun Coffeestall of Singapore having an outlet in Toyosu, the adjacent island to ours, we can continue to enjoy Kopi and Kaya from time to time. A taste of Singapore. What is Kaya? A great breakfast or snack with butter on toast. A sweet jam made of coconut, milk and some unknown plant. And Kopi? Maximum strength coffee, usually mixed with condensed milk. It's great hot or iced, provided you don't enjoy it too late in the afternoon, or worse still, in the evening.
While you can enjoy Kopi in Malaysia and Thailand, and now even Japan, the half boiled egg is a Singapore tradition. Immerse an egg in hot, but not boiling, water for 30 seconds or so, and then crack open in a saucer. If we want that, I guess we'll have to do it at home, but I don't think anyone's developed nostalgia for that yet.
