 Sticky Rice Pudding with Assorted Sweets and Molten Chocolate

甜心八寶飯

I am not Shanghainese, but there is one Shanghainese dessert I like very much, it's the sticky rice pudding with assorted sweets. The reasons I like it, partly because it's made of sticky rice, and with red bean paste, it's super yummy. I like it but I don't eat it often, I just take it once in a while, especially the homemade one. The sticky rice pudding I made this time is with molten chocolate inside, this little trick makes the dessert more unique.

我不是上海人，但卻頗喜歡吃上海甜品八寶飯，其中一個原因是我愛吃糯米食品，加上甜红豆餡和各式乾果，真是太好吃了。雖然我愛吃八寶飯，但卻不常吃，只是偶爾吃一次，尤其是自家做的。今次我做的八寶飯更加入了流心巧克力，讓這傳統甜點更添了生氣。
