So, what's with this puding raja craziness you ask? Because the main filling are bananas! I can never say no to banana, you know that right? And it is not a sebarangan type of pisang, normally the use of pisang lemak manis is given priority. That yellow stuffs are jala emas ( made from telur itik kot, am not too sure), then decorate with prunes, pistachios, chopped cherries. Puding raja is to be eaten together with the sauce, the custard sauce. Sedapnyaaaa ampunnn!
And another thing that makes it so special is the unavailability of it. I mean, it is normally ordered and prepared for events and now this, at pasar ramadan. It might be sold elsewhere, everyday but to find a good puding raja is rather tricky. Every year, without fail, puding raja hunting at Kuantan Pasar Ramadan is a must and it will always be the same stall each year, the one from Pekan. Priced at RM 5 each per container. Mahal? Shut your eyes and just appreciate the flavour :)
