While chocolate and green tea has become a classic pairing, this spread which combines white chocolate with houjicha (Japanese green tea) is anything but classic. Here, the roasted tea fragrance of houjicha gives an elegance to the sweetness of the white chocolate for a unique taste you’ve just got to try.

With Halloween coming next month, there’s no better time to indulge in pumpkin treats. And what better way than to have it with one of our favourite local jams of all time – kaya! Pumpkin and kaya are combined in this jam to create an interesting flavour combination without the use of eggs or coconut milk, so it’s suitable even for vegetarians and vegans.

We love peanut butter as much as we love maple syrup. So when you have both together in a jar, it is heaven for us. This salty and sweet combination is one that you can’t stop having more of. The addition of the toasted pecans give the peanut butter a nice flavoured crunch.

Runny jams can be delicious if you’re using them as a topping for your ice cream. But when it comes to a spread for your pastries and toast, we are all for chunky jams. And this marmalade features that thick and rustic texture that is perfect as a spread. It is made from rose pink ruby grapefruit, giving a pithy zing that wakes up your taste buds.

This kaya features the aromatic flavours of coconut caramel. The addition of sea salt helps to balance out the sweetness and creaminess. It tastes somewhat like the Peranakan treat, ondeh-ondeh (glutinous rice ball with palm sugar).

We get that rhubarb is an acquired taste, but seeing as it is paired with strawberries, the flavour of the jam isn’t too out there. The tartness of rhubarb pairs well with the fruity sweetness of strawberries, creating a blend that is familiar with just a hint of the unusual.
