It’s the easiest recipe on the face of the earth but still I’ve never bothered to bake one because it’s one of the things that’s always available on the buffet’s dessert section. I’ve had probably once or twice and had never struck me as a “Wow, I’ve gotta make this by myself”. Let’s just say, they’re all quite plain, at least in my taste – Until MH started missing his little after-breakfast bowl of bread pudding because the pastry guy who used to make them left the hotel.
The “coconut” part is mainly because of personal choice, I’m a coconut lover. I even sprinkle a bit of dessicated coconut in my cobbler. Anyway, there’s this bakery that we go to almost every week and they sell beautiful loaves of coconut bread. Perfect!!! Known to be a little bit too adventurous in the kitchen, the thought of having buttery coconut bits in my bread pudding got me into the kitchen that afternoon. The Bourbon Sauce from Elise – Simple Kitchen sounds divine. Oh, what about a little something fruity for toppings. It’s almost Chinese New Year now, so Kumquat fruit is in season now. I like them in my tea, and making them into marmalade sounds fantastic. Okay, let’s bake this baby, let’s get busy, yea!
