since we were at liang court, L said that she wanted tampopo's pudding. despite having heard her wax lyrical about it multiple times since a long time ago, i have never tried it, so i jumped at the opportunity. 

i was first attracted by the cakes they had on display in the chiller- all of them looked so good, especially the chocolate roll and the eclairs! prices were reasonable as well- going to come back for it sometime. 

ended up just getting the milk pudding ($3.30) and eating in. i liked the self-service concept- we just took the pudding from the chiller and paid, then brought it into the cafe to eat. thought that we might've to pay service charge, but it turned out to be the same price as takeaway. 

the pudding came with a small plastic tub of caramel sauce. loved the milkiness of the pudding- it was smooth and creamy; also surprisingly filling. the slight bitter edge of the caramel sauce worked well with the pudding, but i preferred to eat mine without. L says they have different types of sauce for different puddings. she has tried all of the flavours- custard, coffee, milk tea and milk, but milk remains her favourite, and i can see why. 

tampopo has always been a reliable and reasonably priced source of japanese sweets. i especially love their cream puff- so so good i could eat one on my own. looks like i should swing by for their cakes soon.
