Pumpkin Pie Pudding

My incurable disease showing up every beginning of the month - total laziness to blog. And it's always until at least a week or so before I am back on track

This time is dragging even longer after my short trip back to my hometown end of last month for my 'lil sis' wedding, had a joyous time back there :)
And of course, the additional one season (yes, Singapore is a 3 season country now) - hazy season, has been pulling back my butt sitting conveniently doing nothing
It's just too hot and humid to do things in my kitchen. I even must drag myself to cook for my family I make sure I cook in the morning, cos once it hits 10am, I will start sweating a bucket and it really pisses me off. I guess it's time to install aircon in my kitchen LOL

Well, okay, I'd better stop my rambling :)

Following the pumpkin fiesta by so many bloggers, I made this simple, creamy yet refreshing pumpkin pie pudding :)
