Coconut kaya custard

While this is officially a breakfast staple, you will happen upon many a kopitiam (coffee shop) where locals sit throughout the day, nursing their kopi (coffee) with a side of kaya toast. This coconut custard is often slathered onto thick slabs of bread, along with a generous wedge of salted butter – although I also find it delightful smeared on crackers, or rippled through some piping-hot porridge.
