Original Gula Melaka Kaya

Courtesy of an old friend, I am blessed with 2 big packets of Original Gula Melaka and Yes, all the way from Malacca.

Original Gula Melaka from Malacca

Although originate from Malacca, there are many different types of Gula Melaka as they are from different sellers. A sniff at the aroma can tell which one will give you a better taste of the Gula Melaka Kaya. 

My sniffing tells me that the one of the lighter color on the right gives a better aroma of them all and I have used it to make my new batch of Gula Melaka Kaya based on my earlier sharing of the recipe here: http://easybreadmaker.blogspot.sg/2015/10/sumptuous-gula-melaka-kaya.html

And the end product yields even a better taste and softer texture.

Original Gula Melaka Kaya with Cream Crackers

As the saying goes that Action Speaks Louder Than Words, We have a saying of Photo Speaks Louder Than Words here. Comparatively, using the Original Gula Melaka that is shown in the first image above, the texture is softer. Blending the Kaya made out of the Breadmaker requires only a one time blending to achieve a soft texture.

And guess what, it is so good that we finished the entire bottle of Kaya within 3 days. Not even having a chance to be in the fridge.
