Tastes a bit different from what I get in Malaysia. This one had less pandan and santan (coconut milk) fragrance even though I bought the pandan flavoured one. Another sad case of Singaporeans butchering Malaysian food. ;) Price was only 3,890 won if I remember correctly. Much cheaper than the price in your photo.

There is also a kaya toast chain, I forget the name, in the basement of the Seoul Financial Building (wait, just ran a web search and guess which site came up on top with that info? You!!! ... nevermind...) Anyway, kaya is here both as a product you can buy in stores (over-priced, but we're not at home folks) and with toast and coffee ;) Yep, I saw some in the Hyundai Department Store in Shinchon.

Korea has lots of protective tarrifs and taxes on imports, so in general you can expect to pay a lot for goods like this. How else to explain 7000 won for a box of weetabix?

Wow! Too bad I haven't seen any in Daejeon. Price is a little steep, though. Anyway, I brought a few cans back from Malaysia the last time I went home. Kaya in Seoul? Wow!

We'll look around and see if we can't find it on one of the black markets or regular stores for less. If it's new to Lotte Department Store's imported food section though, it's not likely to make it to regular grocery shelves for a while.

Kinda steep but I supposed international fare tends to command premium pricing. Hmm… based off google exchange rate, that’s about $6.40 USD.
