Gather @egg{3}, @pandan leaf{4%leaf}, @white bread{8%slice} and @egg{8}.

Whisk the @coconut milk{200%ml}, @sugar{120%g} and 3 eggs together in a heatproof bowl; set it over a pot of gently simmering water without the bowl touching the water.

Add the pandan knot and stir slowly and constantly until the mixture thickens into a spreadable jam, 20–25 minutes. ~{1350%seconds}

Strain the kaya through a sieve if it's at all lumpy, then let it cool.

Lower the remaining 8 eggs gently into a pot of simmering water and cook exactly 5 minutes for a jammy, barely-set soft boil. ~{5%minutes}

Toast or griddle the bread on a dry pan until deeply golden, close to charred at the edges.

Spread kaya thickly on one slice, lay the cold @butter{40%g} across the other, and sandwich them together hot so the butter just melts.

Crack the soft-boiled eggs into small bowls, season with @soy sauce{2%tbsp} and @white pepper{0.5%tsp}, and dunk the toast fingers straight in.
