Kaya Slice ~ 咖椰片


I've tasted vanilla slice before but not Kaya Slice.  My first taste of Kaya Slice was at a fusion cafe in Perth and the combination was truly wonderful.  So when I returned from my vacation, I just had to give it a try with my homemade kaya and believe me, it's real yummy especially if you are a kaya fan.  Serve this as a dessert to jazz up your reunion dinner during this coming Chinese New Year!






Kaya Slice ~   咖椰片
Ingredients
  • 2 pieces of 8 inch sq frozen puff pastry
  • Homemade kaya/coconut egg jam
  • Icing sugar to dust
Method
  1. Defrost the frozen pastries.
  2. Place a puff pastry onto a parchment lined pan.  Prick holes with a fork to prevent it from blowing up.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 15 to 20 mins. till brown.
  4. Remove from oven and place a pan on top and gently press down to give a flat surface.
  5. Repeat with the other pastry.
  6. Cut pastry into 2 halves to make 4 halves.
  7. Spread a  generous amount of kaya on one half of the pastry and place another half sheet on top.  Repeat.
  8. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
Here's wishing everyone a very Happy Lunar New Year with abundance health, luck and prosperity!

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!
