Well, I wasn't really satisfied with the result. I think it could have been better. I found the ratios mentioned above came out too thick.<BR/><BR/>My mom said mine tasted like gula melaka (cos of the extra dark brown sugar I used, haha).<BR/><BR/>Anyways, will omit here and there to experiment with it. My blog is www.dancingfishhh.blogspot.com. Feel free to visit and have a stroll.

I used to cook my kaya on the stove for one and half hours (only 2-3 eggs used, that's why shorter time) and it turned out really smooth, as smooth as those blended one. You can actually see the picture from my kaya link. My first pandan kaya cooked in saucepan, very smooth. Later, I got lazy and learned of this breadmaker trick and have been using breadmaker ever since. To me, only those kaya made with breadmaker needs to be blended in a blender to get the smooth surface. With breadmaker, the consistency is unpredictable and the use of a blender is a must.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea how long kaya can be put in the fridge too, that's why I only made a little at a time, like 2 eggs small quantity.Little Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-1568026782409759042007-06-06T23:01:00.000-06:002007-06-06T23:01:00.000-06:00I probably won't try it anytime soon.

Perhaps I should ask my hubby to check it later...<BR/><BR/>I used the kaya recipe from Lydia Teh / Lazy Chef's blog. I finally figure out why some kaya look smoother than the others, they put their kaya in the blender, instead of churning away on the stove for hours!Lee Pinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475657563792298936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-38235743280178189112007-06-06T22:30:00.000-06:002007-06-06T22:30:00.000-06:00V, let me know if you like it!Lee Ping, if you try...V, let me know if you like it!<BR/><BR/>Lee Ping, if you try it first, let me know the result. :)<BR/><BR/>LOL!

This kaya tasted pretty good actually, got coconut milk + brown sugar, can't go wrong with this combo.<BR/><BR/>Green tea kaya is a great idea! Who knows, I might just give it a try. ;) Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Hi Lee Ping,<BR/>Thanks for your photographing tip. :)<BR/><BR/>I don't like the colorless pandan extract actually because it tastes superficial. Give this a try because it tasted pretty good. I think it would taste even better with some Gula Melaka added to it. 3:1 combo. If not, the above Green Tea kaya sounds pretty darn good too! ;)Little Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-80753587276024730892007-06-04T22:27:00.000-06:002007-06-04T22:27:00.000-06:00Dear Little Corner of Mine,I think brown sugar kay...Dear Little Corner of Mine,<BR/><BR/>I think brown sugar kaya is a brilliant idea. My friend suggested that I use colorless pandan extract because she is not a fan of the artificial green color. I cannot find it here at the local store. So, I think substituting the pandan extract with the color from the brown sugar is ingenious! <BR/><BR/>A photographing tip: If you put the brown sugar kaya in a dark colored attractive container, it will look better in photo.Lee Pinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475657563792298936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-19020384895912105862007-06-04T21:29:00.000-06:002007-06-04T21:29:00.000-06:00Hi Hi!Thats a really funny looking kaya, i wonder ...Hi Hi!<BR/><BR/>Thats a really funny looking kaya, i wonder now it taste like :)<BR/><BR/>How about showing us some green tea kaya?<BR/><BR/>Regards,Ning's Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16543560164712292841noreply@blogger.com
