message: The article refers to kaya toast as a Singaporean dish with little to no mention of it being also a Malaysian dish. Multiple sources online consider it both Malaysian and Singaporean dish, considering the fact that Singapore was once part of Malaysia. Steoh1901 (talk) 02:59, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Note that these sudden bad faith and childish gastronationalist posts made by Malaysians are the result of a coordinated off-wiki canvassing by MGAG (Instagram post, Facebook post) in one of their posts, a Malaysian media company. 220.86.170.144 (talk) 15:18, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Toh Soon cafe, a popular kaya toast place in Penang, has been operating since 1955, along with many other kopitiams in Malaysia. Steoh1901 (talk) 03:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Killiney Kopitiam in Singapore has been operating since 1919, Chin Mee Chin Confectionery in 1925, Tong Ah in 1939 as well as a few others and sources in the article do suggest that it came from Hainanese immigrants who eventually settled in Singapore, which was well-known as a British trading port during colonial rule. The dish can be part of Malaysian/Indonesian/Brunei cuisine, but doesn't mean it can be claimed that the dish originated from these places without proper sources.--Deoma12(Talk) 03:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Kaya Toast is sold in every hamlet, town, district and state across Malaysia. It is not appropriate to attribute kaya toast to solely to the Hainanese immigrants of Singapore, as it belongs to the regional culture of British Malaya, culturalised by interactions between Malay and Chinese immigrants across modern day Malaysia (which culturally includes Singapore despite political separation). In Kuala Lumpur, Yut Kee (1928) and Sin Seng Nam (1928) also serve kaya toasts alongside chicken chops. Before this, the Portuguese introduced a variant of kaya / coconut jam - doce de ovos (sweet egg cream) in Malacca, Malaysia in 1511 upon colonising the Malay Peninsula .

replies: text: Like I said, it can be part of Malaysian/Indonesian/Brunei cuisine as well, although it is more well-known as a dish related to Singapore due to the popularity and presence of coffeeshop chains, such as Ya Kun and Killiney specialising in the dish both in Singapore and overseas. Either way, by saying it is sold in every district in Malaysia does not change the fact that it is not supported by sources. If this was the case, waffles can be claimed as Malaysian as well since it is sold in 'every hamlet, town, district and state across Malaysia'. As for the cited source that states kaya jam was brought in by the Portuguese, there are also sources stating that early Hainanese immigrants created the spread as a subsititue to the more expensive fruit jams consumed by the British, which is currently cited in the article and here: Source 1 --Deoma12(Talk) 03:34, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Kaya Toasts belong to Malaysia (and Singapore) 

message: obviously its outdated but look at taste atlas they ranked kaya toast at 42nd in terms of best toasts around the world and showed the singapore flag hence its singaporean. bruh u malaysians u got so many other foods let singapore claim kaya toast leh kns. i rarely see malaysians eat kaya toast for breakfast its probably only prata (roti canai for them), nasi lemak and bak kut teh. the hainanese immigrants first made kaya toast in singapore, not malaysia. only kaya toast and hainanese chicken rice is authentically singaporean everything else u can debate lor 2406:3003:2002:2D79:9916:164:82CC:9CF8 (talk) 13:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
