Nothing spells comfort for me like kaya toast, which I’m sure most of us can agree is an iconic staple of the typical Singaporean breakfast. It seems like even Tim Hortons, the Canada-famous franchise best known for their coffee and doughnuts, is on the same wavelength: they recently launched a series of kaya and pandan-themed yummies just in time for the upcoming National Day. FYI, these new offerings will only be available till 31 August, so make your way down to their stores ASAP. Here’s a low-down on Tim Hortons’ limited edition offerings: there are sweet options such as the Kaya Filled Donut ($3.50) and Kaya Filled Timbits ($5.40 for three), the savoury Kaya Cream Cheese Sourdough Melts ($6.90), and the fragrant Pandan Biscoff Iced Capp (from $7). Tim Hortons is known for their cheese melt series, and so they launched the Kaya Cream Cheese in light of National Day. This is a new addition to their popular sourdough melts series, which are made with artisanal bread! Freshly made to order, this grab-and-go meal is the ideal breakfast choice for those who want something convenient and substantial. You get a luscious kaya packed between two slices of sourdough bread. Like all of Tim Hortons’ melts, the sourdough here is toasted with cheese till the exterior is crispy, cheesy, and buttery. Overall, this cheese melt delivers the best of both sweet and savoury worlds. Now, moving on to something sweet: I tried their Kaya Cream Donut, which makes for a perfect midday pick-me-up. A fairly big doughnut is evenly coated in powdered sugar, and when you tear it in half, you’ll be greeted with a generous amount of deep-green kaya at the core. Fun fact, the kaya is from Fong Yit, better known as Singapore’s oldest artisanal kaya manufacturer which has been operating since 1945. If you, like me, love an occasional sweet treat, I’m sure you can appreciate these fluffy doughnuts with a touch of homely, familiar flavour. I’m not the biggest fan of desserts that are too cloying for me to finish, but the Kaya Filled Donut was nothing like that. And even better, these doughnuts are freshly baked in store every day! Since you’re already there, I recommend getting a box of six priced at $18 to share with your loved ones. There’s also the Kaya Filled Timbits, which are essentially a bite-sized version of the Kaya Filled Donut. This one’s great for those who are always on the go, but want to munch on something moreish and hassle-free. You can also get this in a box of 10 for $15. And finally, beat the heat with their Pandan Biscoff Iced Capp. This gorgeous drink is an ice-blended pandan-infused beverage topped with whipped cream and Biscoff crumbs. On top of the newly launched items, you will receive an exclusive postcard with every purchase in any of their outlets! It hasn’t even been a year since Tim Hortons reached our shores, but they already have seven branches across Singapore. Take this as your sign to visit any of their outlets and indulge in the new items while they are still available.  Website | Full list of locations Tim Hortons is not a halal-certified eatery but they use no pork or lard.
