Delectable Homemade Breads And Bread Spread
Before my parents came to KL 1.5 weeks ago, I had a special request for my favorite sugar-reduced homemade kaya. And so my dear mum and dad slogged over the stove for hours and made me these bread spreads:

L to R : Pandan kaya with extra eggs, sugar-free peanut butter, caramel kaya, reduced-sugar strawberry jam and pineapple jam.
The bread spreads went really well with these delish breads which my mil baked:
Rye bread with moh far koa (figs) and roasted walnuts…

Carrot bread with sunflower seeds…

With such delectable homemade breads and bread spreads (not forgetting my mil’s homemade cakes and cookies), I have been gorging on these carbs everyday. I tell ya, I just love bread and kaya and can never get enough of them. And it is largely because of this that I have to pull myself up from bed at 5:45am each morning (before my 3 brats wake up) to run the calories away hah!

Sheoh Yan… I nap for about 10-20 minutes each day when I put Baby to sleep. To lose weight, must sacrifice a little lar
Irene…. We won’t know what price to put on the bread coz most of the ingredients are quite costly, eg. the walnuts, cranberries, red wine, figs, organic rye flour and of course electricity! If ppl are willing to pay RM12-15 per loaf of walnut cranberry bread, then we can consider.
Sun Sun… my mil made the breads manually, letting the breads ferment for almost 19 hours.
Jacsc… yup, those spreads are really valuable and delish!

Pandan Kaya
1 bowl first santan (NO water added)
1 bowl eggs (about 4 or 5)
1 bowl sugar (I reduced to half)
1 bunch pandan leaves(grind to extract pure juice WITHOUT any water)
Method
1) Mix all well in a stainless steel pot.
2) Cook on VERY LOW heat for about
1 hour, stirring NON-STOP till the
desired consistency is attained.

You are soooo lucky to have a MIL that can cook and bake well. I want that kind of MIL too. Envy envy!!!

Shireen you’re so lucky!
I’m a bread person. I think RM12-15 for bread is not expensive considering the quality of nuts and fruits in it. In Dsara Heights/ Sri Hartamas a cranberry walnut bread sells for RM8.80. Less ingredients than what I see in your MiL’s bread

wow! you are so lucky to have so many home-baked stuffs at home!
