as a child , I'd watch over and over again as my mother prepared the jam .

she, of c0urse, used the traditional original coconut milk and pandan leaves.

it was a lot more tedious back then, as we cooked from gasoline-stoves. its a long process stiring the jam over the flame.

however, the kaya my mom made was the best i had ever tasted.

there are still room for improvement for my kaya. it is far from perfect. yet, its delicious despite the look, I assure you.
