This morning we felt we should try kaya toast, which seems to be a particularly Singaporean dish.
Kaya is a sweet, thick custard-like substance, apparently made from egg, coconut and pandan. It is served spread on toast, and often with soft-boiled eggs. Where soft-boiled means barely warmed through, certainly nothing set. Often seasoned with soy sauce and pepper. You can have it dipped in an eggy batter (french toast), with the kaya on the side and/or have cheese in there too. A set menu includes your choice of kaya toast, two soft-boiled eggs, and tea or coffee (which is made with sweetened condensed milk, super strong over-stewed tea/coffee, diluted with water).
I chose kaya cheese toast. The boys had kaya french toast. JD had kaya cheesy french toast.
Frankly, it was hideously sweet, and tea was pretty vile (I have only a dash of milk in mine and no sugar). It reminded me a bit of traditional Indian breakfasts which can also be dreadfully sweet.
We'll try something completely different for breakfast tomorrow.
