We had a nice visit with my sister last weekend. We had our usual spree of eating at our favorite restaurants, went to an opera, and watched a couple of episodes of Breaking Bad on Apple TV.
It's no secret that eating is a big part of what we do when we get together: we both are self-proclaimed foodies. So when I prepare something to eat at home, I want to come up with something extra interesting.
The dish I assembled for our little brunch at home is called Le Pudding a la mode. It is said that a chef of this hotel in Yokohama had created it decades ago, and now it has become a ubiquitous dessert all over Japan.

When people say "pudding" in Japan, they mean a flan-like custard dessert. The idea of this Le pudding a la mode is to decorate this flan with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and seasonal fruits. I didn't have ice cream, but I drizzled the most delicious caramel sauce instead to enhance the fresh fruits.

The brunch brought us certain nostalgia, and it was just what we foodies wanted to indulge ourselves in.

We should call this fish-shaped dessert Le Taiyaki a la mode!!
