What is kaya?

From Tg Malim to Abu Dhabi with love..


What is kaya?
Kaya, also called sri kaya (from the word meaning "rich" in Malay based on its golden color) or coconut egg jam, is a coconut jam made from coconut milk, duck or chicken eggs which are flavored by pandan leaf and sweetened with sugar.
The spread originated in Southeast Asia, most likely Indonesia or Malaysia. This is reflected by its tropical ingredients santan (coconut milk) and pandan leaf. Kaya is sweet and creamy, available as a golden brown or green colored spread depending on the amount of pandan and extent of caramelization of the sugar.
As with other jams, kaya is typically spread on toast to make kaya toast and eaten in the morning but is enjoyed throughout the day.

Reem Island Cafe - Favourite Malaysian food in Abu Dhabi, with GPS location!

Yes, Reem Island is still under construction ... But boy are all Malaysians in Abu Dhabi happy that they (along with Zelan at Port Zayed / Meena Cafe) brought along their catering crew ;-)


I struggled for a year, giving directions to this location, all I could tell people was follow signs for: Reem Island, Al Reem, Three-sixty, and Tamouh ... but now, thanks to an anonymous Dubai reader, we have the actual GPS coordinates :-)

GPS: 24°29'30.6"N 54°24'6.7"E

OK ... back to the food! I always start off my meal here with a hot yee-mai aka Barley.


One of my favourite dishes here, Sizzling Beef.


The sizzling tofu is good too ;-) Yes, I love sizzling dishes, reminds me of childhood days and meals in PJ with my family.

Assam prawns ... but tastes more like Soya sauce prawns. Nevertheless, good!

They do stir-fried kai-lan and other veges really well here ... Slurps!

Florida's Natural - Cranberry Ruby Red, by Tropicana

My fave off-the-shelf drink at the moment ... Florida's Natural "Cranberry Ruby Red" Cocktail. Described as "Cranberry flavoured grapefruit juice", its wonderful stuff ;-)

Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-1300R , Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D

This is what happens when my D80 and Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D conveniently sees a Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-1300R! I shoot ...


Perfect in red, the Hayabusa ...

Its even got a little mobile phone holder, cute!

Its known to be one of the world's fastest production bikes!

Popeyes Fried Chicken, Abu Dhabi - Dubai Highway stop

I think this is called Cajun Mashed Potatoes ... Popeyes can certainly give KFC a run for their money, 5 AED for some really excellent mash, with tasty gravy. Slurpss...

Where is Sharjah? Here in the UAE!

Sharjah is the third largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates, and is the only one to have land on both the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Sharjah is ruled by Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhd Al Qasimi of the Supreme Council of the UAE and Sheikh of Sharjah.


Sharjah is popular for its rich and cultural place in the Arab region as it has won the prestigious UNESCO award of being the Cultural capital of the Arab world for 1998 The seventeen museums in Sharjah played a critical role for obtaining this award.

Rent is cheap!

Heh ... heh ... Ageless!?

Time to head back to Abu Dhabi ... via Dubai of course.

Reflets de France - Confiture Extra de Fraises du Perigord

Reflets de France - Confiture Extra de Fraises du Perigord ... huh!? That's Strawberry Jam for you, lar! 17 AED or about RM$15 from the local Lulu or Carrefour here in Abu Dhabi. Not too sweet, lots of fruit, I like it!

My idea of cooking is its gotta be done in 30 mins ... otherwise I won't do it :-) OK, sometimes I make an exception, and take up to 1 hour!

Ayam masak merah ala Maggi ;-)

Steamed pork with Pickled Lettuce ... easy in the rice cooker ;-) Love it!


This one wasn't so good ... some cina pork chop in a tin thing ... eeeek!
