This is lovely sweet dessert that we use to order in Chinese restaurants, unfortunately a lot of Chinese restaurants no longer sells Water Chestnut Pudding. We have resorted to making it at home. Traditionally, Water Chestnut Pudding doesn’t contain pieces of water chestnuts but for texture a lot of people enjoy it with it.
