Just ordered some Aurias Pandan Kaya. Will probably come in next week because of Christmas.

This looked great but alas Bahn Xeo Boys at 4th St Market was sold out. Would have been great to wash down some burritos and quesadillas from Burritos Las Palma.

Cam the Chow-Pup (aka GouldandSalty) stops off for this whenever he visits. Often on the way from the airport…

The kaya is not overly sweet. Add a few slices of cold butter to your toast. A thicker white bread with the crusts off would be ideal.
The kaya is a little thin in comparison to the cheaper brand

I really loved the few times I had pandan water at Sapp Coffee Shop and Pok Pok LA so when I came across pandan drink powder at LAX-C market I bought it thinking I’d like it.
However, it tasted weird as a hot drink, kinda like stale pink popcorn.
I don’t want to throw the whole box out. I suppose I could water it down and also turn it into jello. Any suggestions?

Pandan lovers, anyone have a source for fresh pandan leaves? Most places seem to only list frozen leaves. Or is it out of season and I am out of luck?
hawaii supermarket usually has em.
But I find the aroma is not as good as the frozen, probably because they are grown here?

Hmmm I’m looking to make a pandan syrup, so maybe frozen is a good choice if fresh is not clearly better. Thanks for the intel!

I noticed that Ban Ban Burgers at Tuk Tuk Thai has a Pandan shake on it’s menu. Just in case anyone is interested. Don’t do shakes but the Grapow and Laab burgers were delish.

Been loving that and proclaiming that since April
… and further down the street, Ten Speed Coffee is featuring a yummy pandan shortbread cookie (limited supplies daily).

Well-pulled. Nowhere as good as its neighbor Balconi Coffee (RIP) mind you, but it gets the job done…
