Pahang's signature dessert - Puding Raja

I used to browse the net for interesting makan places in Kuantan for months until I found one very famous dessert in Pahang - Puding Raja (Royal Pudding). Here's the info I picked from http://myroyalpudding.blogspot.com/
Puding Raja or Royal Pudding started as a desert which was served for the Royalties of Pahang (a state in Malaysia). It began to reach its popularity in the 90s. I'm one of the third generation who're still making this unique and tasty traditional dessert. This particular pudding was a specialty from the region of Pekan, Pahang. The basic ingredients are pisang lemak manis (bananas from the area), prune, cherries and cashewnuts. Jala mas (golden threads) which were made from egg yolks were then put on top to dress it up. The sauce are usually served cold to finish.
In Kuantan, you can find the pudding in Sri Affa Steamboat & Chicken Rice, and also Sri Affa Foodcourt in Kuantan Parade. Enjoy the beautiful decoration of the dessert :)
Pretty yummy huh?!

With the chilled Custard Gravy. Yum-velous!
