🥥 Supermarket Kaya vs Ours — be honest 👀

Have you ever tried kaya from the supermarket…
and thought, “why does this taste so light?” 🤔

That’s because most are made for shelf life —
added water, faster cooking, easier production.

Ours is different.

No added water.
Slow-cooked for hours.
Made in small batches, the old-school way.

Not perfectly smooth —
but rich, fragrant, and full of depth.

The kind that reminds you of kopitiam mornings. ☕️

Some people go for convenience.
Some people go for taste.

Which one are you? 👇

🥥 Kaya is not just a spread — it’s a memory.

For many people from Malaysia and Singapore,
kaya has never been just part of breakfast.

It’s the memory of sitting in a kopitiam as a child,
with a plate that always finds its way to the table —
crispy kaya toast,
paired with a warm cup of kopi.

That gentle sweetness, with coconut and egg,
so simple… yet unforgettable.

As we grow older, we realise
what we miss isn’t just the taste,
but the feeling —
of home, and a simpler time.

✨ Good news — Kaya is available this weekend!

This time, we didn’t make it just to sell.
Kellis was feeling a little homesick,
craving that familiar taste,
so she slowly cooked a batch for herself ❤️
…and decided to share some with you.

Our kaya is different from what you find in supermarkets:
✔ Not a single drop of water added
✔ Slowly cooked over low heat
✔ Built on time, patience, and tradition

The flavour is very close
to the classic old-school kopitiam kaya we grew up with.

⚠️ Not always available
Because we’re a little stubborn — this method takes a lot of time.

So if you’ve been missing this taste of home,
come by this weekend and grab a jar 🥹

💛 Some flavours aren’t always around,
but one taste… and you’re home again.

Sometimes, when you’ve been running a business for a while, you forget to pause and think about why you started in the first place.

This past Easter holiday was our first time in years that we decided to stay open. 🐣🌿

As a family business, that decision is never just about “opening or closing.”
Last Easter, our baby was still very little. The year before that, we had just gone through a miscarriage. So for those two years, we chose to take the entire Easter break off — to rest, to heal, and to be with ourselves.

But this year felt different. 🤍

Opening during Easter this time didn’t feel like a normal busy service…
It felt more like a “reunion.” 🥹

We saw so many familiar faces—
Neighbours from our old Paddington days, who moved overseas 4 years ago and have now come back.
Little kids who used to run around in our shop… now grown into big brothers confidently ordering their own food.
Students who moved to Canberra for studies, coming back during the holidays just to have our food again.
And families who could never find the time to dine together before… finally sitting down at the same table this long weekend. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

In those moments, it really hit us—
Maybe what we’re serving is not just food, but a small, familiar part of people’s lives. 🍜💛

Oh—and there was one especially special moment. 🥹✨
The midwife who took care of us during our hospital stay when we had our baby… came to dine with us.

We recognised her immediately, but felt a little shy to say hi first.
So thank you for coming up to us ❤️

We’re truly so grateful for the care you gave us during that time.
Even after we left the hospital, we often thought about you.

(P.S. She was the one who gave our daughter her very first bath — because we were way too scared to do it ourselves 😂🛁)

—

Monday happens to be our usual day off.
So after this “reunion-like” weekend, we finally get a little time to enjoy our own holiday too — taking our little one out to the city for a walk. 🌆👶

After all, she’s basically been “working for 3 days straight,”
definitely deserves a day off as well 😆

Due to the current war and the fuel crisis kellis had finally decided to wear her t-51 power armour to do grosseries and if customer order more than 2k in order she will wear the power armour to do your deliveries. It is nuclear powered by a mini nuke so itll be fine without paying 3 buckish for diesel.

Easter is coming… and we’ve created something a little special this year 🐣✨

Those who know Kellis well will know this — Hot Cross Buns are her ultimate weakness.

More than 10 years ago, when Kellis first arrived in Australia, hot cross buns quickly became her go-to breakfast during Easter season. Soft, warm, lightly spiced, filled with juicy raisins… it’s the kind of comfort food that instantly makes you happy. Since then, every Easter without fail, hot cross buns are a must.

So this year’s Easter Special is inspired by Kellis’ long-time favourite.

🍔 Hot Cross Bun Dessert Burger

A soft, fragrant hot cross bun, lightly toasted…
Sandwiched with Plan K Kitchen’s house-made cheesecake gelato — creamy, rich, and slightly tangy.

Then the whole thing is coated with a layer of crispy Oreo crumble, adding that irresistible chocolatey crunch.

Warm bun.
Cold creamy gelato.
Crunchy Oreo bits.

One bite in and… happiness overload. 😋

Now available!
You can walk in and purchase directly, or PM us to pre-order so you don’t miss out.

Limited Easter special — come try Kellis’ favourite in dessert form before it’s gone! 🐰

Around this time every year, Facebook Memories reminds me of something I will never forget.

Back in 2022, it rained heavily for several days straight. One morning I woke up and checked my phone, only to realise that St Lucia, where our shop is located, was flooding.

When we rushed to the shop, the water had already reached the road next to us, and the rain was still pouring. There was absolutely nothing we could do except watch the water slowly rise.

When we came back the next day, the whole shop was already under water.

At that time, we had just taken over this shop, moved from our old Paddington location to St Lucia, and we had only been open for 7 weeks.

I remember crying uncontrollably.
Years of hard work… suddenly all under water.
I had no idea what we were going to do next or how we were going to get through it.

For three days, everything stayed underwater. During those three days, we couldn’t do anything except try to adjust our mindset and prepare ourselves for what was coming next.

When the water finally went down, the real challenge began — cleaning, disinfecting, throwing things away, and slowly putting everything back together. With very limited funds and a lot of pressure, we rebuilt the shop piece by piece.

After five weeks of cleaning and rebuilding, we were finally able to reopen.

Now, four years have passed.

The first photo shows the water level from that flood. You can actually still see the mark in the shop today — next time you visit, have a look and you’ll notice it.

The second photo is a Christmas gift we received from our staff last year. We were very touched and truly grateful. Thank you — we really love it.

The rest of the photos are some of the scenes from when the shop was flooded.

We are still incredibly grateful to everyone who helped us during that difficult time. Without you, we might not have been able to reopen.

And of course, thank you to all of you who have continued supporting us throughout these years 🩷

In 2025, our lives also changed in a very special way — we welcomed a little new life into our family.

No matter what the future looks like, as long as we are able to, we will continue doing our best to bring
