Kaya is not Hainanese origin but from Malay origin. Its original name is srikaya which when literally translated is “radiantly rich” referring to its creamy texture and taste. Kaya is the basis for many malay kuehs like puteri salat and kueh talam.

In reply to Caro. Hi Caro, all these food guides barely touch the tip to be honest. We aim for a maximum of 45 and it's impossible to represent an entire cuisine based on that, so we stick to our personal favorites. :) And thanks for the tip about the chicken rice! We'll keep that in mind on our next trip to Singapore. Cheers.

You’ve barely touched the tip of the iceberg on the food in Singapore! Also, Malaysian usually refers to the country, whereas Malay refers to the indigenous people and their cuisine. You need to look for the Malay version of chicken rice, it’s not to be missed! Also western style cakes in Singapore! Blackforest cake was a favorite. I could go on….
