Have I told you how much I love rice? (Yes I know I already have in quite a few previous posts, including an article on rice and the many ways to cook it.) However, when you love something with all your heart and all your stomach, it is pretty hard not to keep from declaring your love for it repeatedly until every person around you knows it by heart.
So, here am I again, expressing my profound love for all sorts of rice, whether they come as the base in a main dish (such as sushi, or white rice, or fried rice, or porridge) or in the form of desserts (such as rice puddings all over the world). In Singapore, my favorite rice pudding dessert was the Pulat Hitam. But now that I live in Argentina, I have to adjust my tastebuds a little, and yesterday I made Latin American rice pudding for the first time!
SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!!!
It was so good, that even after eating it for dessert last night, I woke up this morning and ate it for brunch.
Here’s the recipe that I found it a recipe book lying around the house:
