FOOD: Puddin -- An Ode to Rice Pudding [NYC]
[Photo from Puddin website]
If you were to put a piece of chocolate in front of me or chips, I will 95% of the time go for the chips. That being said, I do enjoy dessert every now and then and my new favorite thing (that's not actually all that new) is pudding, well, rice pudding in particular.
On St. Marks between 1st and A lies Puddin, a teeny tiny store front that only makes pudding. In my dessert range pudding doesn't typically do the trick. I never find myself really wanting pudding but when I walked into Puddin and saw rice pudding on the menu I remembered just how much I like it.
Rice pudding is incredibly indulgent so the mini size is usually enough for me. But my favorite part--what sets it apart from the kind you can get at the grocery store--is the spices on top and the tiny bits of chopped apricots hidden inside. I had to ask what the orange bits were because I couldn't put my finger on it, but thanks to Puddin's rice pudding I now have a new favorite dessert.
