Yau Char Kwai

Thanks to Aunty Ho, after we left lunch we drove past the place that Ben and Yong suggested would still cook the Yau Char Kwai and Kaya Jam.  We stopped because it was around the time that they may have it and Aunty Ho ran in and got some!

Woohoo!

The infamous Yau Char Kwai

My bau man who makes the best bau in Tawau.


We then went back to Aunty Ho's sister's place and she taught us how to make Kaya Jam.  Was talking to Uncle Chris and was such a coincidence that while we had started to prepare the kitchen to make the jam, Uncle Chris asked me to get dad to ask around to anyone who knows how to make Kaya Jam!!!  He was jealous when he found out about my  Yau Char Kwai so I had to tell him also about the fact that we were just about to learn how to make the Kaya Jam!

So easy now that I know how to do it.  We are bringing some home, and Uncle Chris can have the little jar.
LOL

Following are some pictures from our cooking lesson:
The Coconut Cream

The egg and sugar mix

Nearly ready (the green are pandan leaves)

YUM!  Dad enjoying the rest of the Yau Char Kwai and warm , 'just made' kaya jam.

A little bit for Uncle Chris

Bottling it for us
WHAT A GREAT DAY!
