Houston, we have KAYA!

The latest prize trophy in Emperor's Gate is a 200ml bottle of home-made kaya, now sitting sweetly in our fridge after more than an hour of flapping like worried hens around it, watching it cook and frantically worrying that it will never thicken or turn into a horrible egg mush like the first attempt. Second time round, we cheated. We asked Tao for advice, and everyone knows when it comes to the subject of food, Tao never fails!

The things exam pressure does to us. We make kaya and bake chocolate chip cookies (which everyone finished by the next morning! I should know by now to double my recipes instinctively in Emperor's Gate!).
