Pandan Kaya, Coconut Flakes. From the new Micro Bakery at The Red House, replacing the former premises of Heavenly Wang.
A pretty simple item that is essentially a more artisan variant of our all-familiar breakfast item, both the toast and Kaya are made from scratch here. Almost akin to that of thick toast in terms of presentation, the toast beneath carries familiar notes of sourdough; just a hint of sourness from the fermentation process that carries a slight tang, whilst being crusty and carries a good, firm bite for some chew. The Pandan Kaya spread atop is unlike those of the likes of commercially-made ones; hints of strong notes of Pandan and coconut without being too sweet, yet being thick, rich, and fragrant. Topped off with a slight sprinkle of sea salt, the sea salt helps to provide some contrast without being overly salty, while the coconut flakes further enhancing the flavours of the Kaya. Very much a sucker here for good Kaya toasts; the House Kaya Toast here is a variant I very much enjoyed with its well-executed Kaya, and sourdough that is made with lots of passion for the craft β no doubt more expensive that the usual coffeeshop rendition, but something that is worth going for if one is willing to shell out just a little more for a more souped up version of the classic Kaya Toast.
