This special treat is from my hubby's ancestral home town, Shunde 順德, a city located in Guangdong province. Shunde is very famous for its food culture, known as the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine and now a Unesco designated City of Gastronomy. One of the most famous of the dishes that originate from Shunde might be this traditional Chinese milk pudding!
Known as Double Skin Milk Pudding 雙皮奶 this pudding is distinctive for its lovely double layer of wrinkled milk skin on top, hiding a soft and oh! so lusciously creamy, milky pudding below. Man oh man, when we go to Shunde we totally pig out on this amazing puddding! Nom, nom, nom...
Sometimes back home far away in HK, we do long for it so. Turns out this luscious pud is pretty straightforward to make at home!
