This restaurant is called East Ocean Seaview Restaurant and it really does have a view of the sea!
I got some CNY puddings, a savory and a sweet one.
The boxes were huge so I thought the pudding was going to be a round one but it was a rectangular one which doesn't really take up the whole box.

++++++++++
FIVE BEANS PUDDING:

Price: $133

Taste: This was savoury and loaded with lots of nutritious red beans, green beans, black eyed beans, red kidney beans and peanuts hence the name Five beans.

I really liked it because it had a strong five spice flavour.

Suitable for vegetarians: Yes
++++++++++

PURPLE YAM PUDDING:

Price: $133

Taste: It was sweet but not cloyingly sweet with bits of yam and butterfly pea which gives it that colour.

Suitable for vegetarians: Yes

Chinese Turnip puddings and Chinese New Year puddings are the norm for CNY.
At Lai Bun Fu, I liked the 3-in-1 Fortune Gift Box because it had Crispy taro balls (芋蝦) and stuffed golden pastry （角仔）as well as the turnip pudding.
I love taro so obviously I loved these crispy taro balls which were fragrant and had a lovely crunch but you have to be careful when you eat them because it goes everywhere.
The crispy dumplings were also good and something you can snack on while the turnip pudding is being pan fried.

It is a Chinese tradition to have Chinese New Year pudding for CNY so got the traditional grandma’s recipe and this new flavour which has red dates and sugar.

Traditional grandma’s recipe:

The pudding was sticky and soft so the shape went when it was being cooked and the taste was quite sweet.

CNY pudding with red date and sugar :

The red date pudding had a firmer texture and the taste is not as sweet as the one above with a strong red date taste.
It is made with raw grounded glutinous rice liquid and then steamed which makes it healthy with nutritious.

Tried this Yam and dried shrimps pudding that is made with crunchy fresh yam, yam bean topped with crispy dried conpoy which you add according to how you like it.
I knew I was going to like this because it is made with healthy ingredients and the yam gives it a starchy texture like Taro.
It was lovely and light compared to other puddings because it doesn’t contain preserved sausages, which make it oily so this is perfect for the health conscious and elderly.

The Chinese pudding here is worth trying because there is a modern twist to it which makes it less boring.
They also have turnip pudding as well.
I got the Raspberry, basil seed and red bean pudding which is the most convenient Chinese New Year pudding because it is READY TO EAT!
It had nice layers of red beans, basil seeds and raspberry jelly which tasted really good because I love raspberries while the basil seeds gave it some crunch complemented by the starchy red beans.
I think this pudding goes well served with cream or strawberries.
