You Cannot Found A Thicket, And Yet Here We Are

TIL that orang-kaya means "rich man" in Indonesian—and interestingly, orang is also the root word for orangutan 🦧. What really caught my attention, though, was the kaya part. I’ve always known Kaya only as that delicious, coconut-and-egg jam-like spread we have in Singapore, but it turns out the food is actually etymologically linked to the word for wealth!
