STEAM BREAD PUDDING WITH CUSTARD SAUCE/PUDING ROTI DENGAN SOS KASTAD

This is an easy to make bread pudding which is a perfect use for a day old bread. This is also an all time favorite serve in most of the hotels in Malaysia. 

I used to bake the pudding but this time around I tried the steaming method. The texture is much better.

There are different ways to serve bread pudding, and it can be made more rich by adding cinnamon or caramel sauce. Our family preference is the custard sauce.
