Key risk: Kaya toast is one of Malaysia's most iconic breakfasts but it stacks dairy, egg, coconut, and wheat. Kaya jam looks like a green spread but is essentially an egg-coconut custard. Butter adds more dairy. The soft-boiled eggs are separate but considered part of the set. The kopi (Malaysian coffee) is made with condensed milk by default.
