Upon opening the packet, we were greeted with a strong enticing waft of kaya — similar to the smell of a fresh bottle of kaya you often get from kopitiams. That got us hungry immediately, not gonna lie.
Appearance wise, the crisps look like the typical Twisties corn snacks, except that they don’t seem to have much flavouring powder on.
But, what matters most is the flavour. We expected a strong taste of kaya, but surprisingly, the taste leaned more towards a savoury buttery flavour, with just a slight hint of coconut-y sweetness. The crunch though, reminded us of biting a piece of crunchy toast coated with lots of butter, yum!
Overall, do the corn snacks pay tribute to kaya butter toast? Yep, it does. If you’re looking for a familiar yummy snack that boasts your favourite kopitiam delicacy, you’ll love the Twisties Kaya Butter Toast! And after trying it, we are now obsessed with the flavour. Must have moreeeeeeee.
