Yes, PayPal, credit card, cheque, cash, gold, diamonds, all accepted. If you want to put up your condo or house as collateral, I'll take that too I smell a potential international business opportunity ;D hahaha looks like my Nana has competition then. She makes and sells Kaya but she has slowed down this year. Oh and Celtriya we're in VanCity too so u dont have to go far for some Kaya. Kaya! Kaya! Come get ur Kaya! Warning: The Hogan family will not take responsibility for any side effects experienced while sampling the Kaya. Any and all complaints will be redirected to RollingOn. Thank u for ur cooperation. You better not be sh*ttin me.. I hauled my ass to T&T in the freezing cold and there was NOTHING. Since your Nana makes it.. it IS home-makable; it can't be that hard? I must try to make it. And then I'll put the rest of you out of business. And take over the world!!!! I love candycanes.

How about mixing kaya with variant flavours? E.g. cinnamon, apple, orange, lemon,...... That may make it more marketable in the west.

My uncle who owns the business is planning to have a franchise in Australia The Malaysian franchise looks good

Aw. Thanks Hogan!! We're in the midst of making pineapple jam tarts right now (ea sg folks usually know what I'm talking about..). I think I strained the living daylights out of the jam yesterday. Today is the dough. Tomorrow is the tart making. My great grandmother would be proud. lol. So no Kaya anytime this week I'm afraid. But soon! RollingOn, the flavours would catch in the west. But too many and it becomes like those overdone chocolate bars.. I can't properly comprehend different flavours when I'm craving the original at the moment. I clicked on Killiney excitedly thinking it was here. Great. Good on all of you for your unabashed advertising of Kaya. Spread the looove.

The term "kopi tiam" seems to be widely marketed in S'pore these days. The traditional neighbourhood coffee shop has gone mainstream and upmarket, and so has "kopi tiam." So, your confusion is not surprising. There are "Kopi Tiams" everywhere in Singapore. Heh, it's even in Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_tiam).

Mission accomplished. I have found a kaya outlet. Check "Supermarket 2000" in Union Square, Richmond. Imported from SG and the exact brand 'Nonya Kaya' I used to eat 2 decades ago. We ran out of pineapple jam towards the last dozen and put kaya in the pastries. lol we'll see how that comes out baked. Happy spreading, all.

^ mmmm.....kaya tarts!! I can literally taste it in my mouth. Did they come out ok?
Kinda interesting that Vancouver and San Francisco both have Richmonds and both Richmonds have large Asian populations. In SF, the Richmond area is considered the "new chinatown" as the traditional one is now mostly for tourists. Richmond is where most of the local folks eat, shop, and live (the other being the Sunset district). Vancouver's Richmond is much large though. Is it also considered the "new chinatown"? I love the food in Vancouver. Cheap and good!
