Nosh of the Day: maple pudding

Oh my! Yum. I bought this from a Japanese-does-Western eaterie. These are not strictly Japanese outlets trying to impersonate Western food, but - if you get a good one - more a Japanese take on Western food*. (For example there is a whole range of pasta dishes, which are delicious Japanese variants.. spaghetti carbonara but done with mentaiko - spicy cod roe - instead of bacon, for example.)

Anyway, I've never heard of maple pudding in the West. But I think it's time it was introduced! Very tasty indeed! Basically a kind of custard with a light maple flavour, topped with cream and fruit. Highly recommended.

*There are also a couple of places in Singapore at least, which are seemingly Japanese and trying to do Western style directly - these are generally NOT yum and worth avoiding!
