Once I am onboard one of our riverboats or expedition ships, my most important tool is a teaspoon. With that teaspoon (which is constantly washed a sterilized), I taste every stage of every item of food that leaves the galley.
One of the items on our recent wonderful Mekong cruise, was the rice pudding. Nearly all of the desserts served on a KRC cruise are created from one of my recipes. On this occasion, it was from the recipe book of Corporate Chef, Asia, Oka WIBAWA.
Personally, I am not a lover of rice pudding. But this one, yummy in the extreme. Enjoy.
