A Regal Palate : Sweet And Sticky Goodness

You dont need to be royalty to feast like a king, because treats like Puding DiRaja (Royal Pudding), once reserved for royal banquets, are increasingly available to the public, thanks to entrepreneurs like Aidy Hayazi Adnan.

He learnt the recipe - consisting of pisang lemak manis (a small sweet banana), prunes, cherries, chasew nut and golden threads (made with egg yolk) drenched with custard - from his wife's late grandmother, who made them for the palace in the 1950s and 60s.

Its palate sweetness is balance with hints of tartness from prune, and there's myraid textures - spongy, chewy, crispy and smooth - in every bite.

Pahang Delights Heritages Dessert

Puding Raja ("Royal Pudding") is a traditional Pahang Malay dish taken as an appetizer or dessert and is easy to make.

In the state of Pahang, this popular delicacy (sometimes also known as "Puding DiRaja") can be found in some restaurants and food-stalls in the royal town of Pekan.

A favorite appetizer or dessert taken by local folks with their evening tea, this calory-filled cuisine is also normally served during traditional Malay weddings and festivals.

Puding Raja is not so much a pudding as a simple dish of bananas with a sauce or gravy of made from milk and cornflour.

"Pisang lemak manis", which is a sweet and rather small type of local banana is usually used as the main ingredient, although other banana varieties are also used.

To add variety and to give a sweeter taste to the dish, other fruits like prunes, cherries and sometimes dates, are also added. A special sweet noodle-like traditional Malay delicacy called "Jala Mas" is also (when available) sometimes added on the bananas.

You will therefore find that some dutiful Malay housewives will prepare Puding Raja as special afternoon tea accompaniments for the husband or family, especially during the week-ends.

Question: What is the Difference Between Pudding and Dessert?

In British and Irish food, the difference between pudding and dessert can be confusing; pudding can be a dessert, but a dessert can only be a pudding.

Answer: Traditionally a pudding is a cooked, substantial starch or dairy based sweet dish, as in a Spotted Dick Pudding which contains flour and suet, a Traditional Christmas Pudding or a Rice Pudding. A pudding is usually considered a more homely, rustic or traditional recipe.

To make it a little more confusing though, pudding is not always sweet. British food is awash with savory puddings - Yorkshire Pudding, served with Roast Beef in a traditional Sunday Lunch, Black Pudding or a winter-warming Steak and Kidney Pudding.

A dessert traditionally was uncooked, as in a fresh fruit, but is now regarded as lighter and more sophisticated than a traditional pudding; Chocolate, a Mousse, light, refreshing Champagne Jelly or a Souffle.

Though many don't like to admit it, using the term pudding or dessert has connotations of class. Using "Dessert" is thought to be posher than a homely pudding.

This distinction has eroded with more traditional recipes making a fashionable comeback in recent times; many restaurants using Pudding to refer to the sweet course on menus.

The History

According to the old folk, the Bunga Pekan (Brunfelsia Latifolia) flower grows wild at the banks of Pahang River. The river at the Pekan town (near Mengkasar village) is also called Pekan River, however there is no source for the claim that Pekan got its name from this river.

Other sources say the name "Pekan" came from the word "Pekan Sehari". For easier pronunciation, the locals simply called it "Pekan" and the name is still used. (Pekan Sehari or Sunday Market still exists until today)

Pekan town is said to have existed since the 17th century, but no exact date has been verified. Several Arab and Chinese writers mentioned Pekan.

The villagers at Kampong Mengkasar, about one kilometer from Pekan in the direction of Kuantan, are said to be direct descendants of Tok Tuan from Makassar in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Among the well-known figures, Tun Abdul Razak was recognized as having a Sulawesi heritage.
