This grilled sandwich is known as roti kaya in Singapore and Malaysia and is a popular all-day snack often accompanied by a sweet and creamy hot tea or coffee. It is believed to have been created by Chinese cooks working in kitchens that catered to British colonists. Over time, the British jams and marmalades were replaced with the native coconut spread. Kaya can be obtained commercially in any Asian grocery store with a focus on Southeast Asian ingredients.
