This Pucchin Purin is 10 times larger than the regular one. It weighs about 1kg (2.2lb.)! WoW
Pucchin Purin is a very popular custard pudding in Japan which everyone has once tried in childhood.
Recently, it was officially recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the best selling pudding in the world.
Well...
as I just wrote, it is something that people feel a longing for, so
don't expect an authentic flan or pudding taste from this product. LOL
BUT,
I found this homemade one tastes way better and more delicious than the
actual product sold at stores :) It was pretty addictive! Yummy!!!
