Crack 4 medium sized eggs into a bowl and transfer to a mixing bowl.

Add 1.5 cups of brown sugar and 2/3 cup of coconut milk to the eggs and mix together.

Create a double boiler by filling a pot with water and placing the mixing bowl on top.

Add fresh pandan leaves to the mixture for fragrance while it cooks.

Stir the mixture occasionally while the water boils, then turn the heat down to low and stir more frequently.

After 10-15 minutes, add 1.5 tablespoons of butter to the mixture and stir until smooth.

Blend the mixture with a stick blender for a smooth texture or strain it through a fine mesh strainer.

Heat 1/2 cup of brown sugar with 3 tablespoons of water to make caramel, then incorporate it into the Kaya mixture.

To make coffee, brew 1 heaping tablespoon of ground coffee with 2 cups of hot water for 10 minutes.

Add 1 teaspoon of condensed milk to the brewed coffee and stir.

For soft-boiled eggs, place room temperature eggs in a stainless steel container, cover with boiling water, and let sit for 7 minutes.

Remove the eggs and serve with a dash of soy sauce and a sprinkle of white pepper.

Toast the bread over a wire mesh on the stove, flipping every few seconds until evenly toasted.

Spread a generous layer of Kaya on the toast and add slices of cold butter.
