I've always been partial to the pudding at Demo's in Watertown, but am wondering if there are other worthy options out there. Wed Jan 22 10:26:47 -0800 2003 0 Chickpea 1 770324 I like the rice pudding at Greek Corner in Cambridge (Mass. Ave. or Harvard Square--same cook). It's a light thin version (reminds me of German Milchreis) with just a touch of cinnamon. Wed Jan 22 11:29:07 -0800 2003 770314 0 munchabunch 1 770328 I think Kozy Shack rice pudding, available in most supermarkets, is as good as any I've had at a restaurant. Wed Jan 22 11:48:57 -0800 2003 770314 0 Ruprecht 1 770379 It's tough to top the Persian rice pudding offered at The Blue Room's Sunday buffet brunch. If you steal a slice of papaya or mango from the fruit display, it is even more delicious. Wed Jan 22 20:07:49 -0800 2003 770314 0 C. Simon 1 770495 The Helmand in Cambridge is okay. I like to make it myself using coconut milk and maple syrup. Fri Jan 24 08:26:41 -0800 2003 770314 0 karen 1 1758626 The White Hen Pantry in Porter Square - Cambridge is unbelievably good. It's homemade by the owner's ? Not only is it good - The White Hen Pantry is located right across from the Porter Square T stop.

Wed Jul 26 03:05:07 -0700 2006 770314 10076 limster 2 1769984 Yup, Reef's is my favorite. But I like their barley pudding even better - similar to the rice, but a little grit/earthiness.

Thu Jul 27 02:40:46 -0700 2006 770314 21978 sadies mom 1 1771125 Athan's in Washington Square, Brookline. What is Reef's in Allston? Never heard of it. Barley pudding sounds GOOD! Thu Jul 27 17:24:59 -0700 2006 770314 13818 Kimberley 2 1771282 Reef Cafe. It's a couple of doors down from Harpers Ferry towards Cambridge St/La Mamma. Thu Jul 27 18:11:37 -0700 2006 1771125 10283 Dax 1 1771306 I like the rice pudding at miami cafe. Lots of cinnamon. Thu Jul 27 18:17:59 -0700 2006 770314 10283 Dax 1 1771445 Someone, I believe Heathen & Spells, did a review of an "amazing sublime" (approximate words) rice pudding at Evergood Market. I tried to find it twice, but struck out both times. Next time I will have to try the white hen pantry. I also like the Blue Room brunch version and have had some decent offerings at Portuguese restaurants (usually a bit too cold), but nothing really outstanding. Also looking for a truely excellent Kheer, although I have had a few pretty good versions. Thu Jul 27 19:00:37 -0700 2006 770314 12962 itaunas 1 1773594 I like the kheer at Bukhara in JP. I'll have to try that Demos rice pudding -- I didn't think about trying their desserts. Fri Jul 28 17:40:06 -0700 2006 770314 12233 Pia 1 1774059 I like the rice pudding at Evzon on the Lowell-Chelmsford line (off Route 3 at Drum Hill). Especially good if it's a fresh batch, still warm!

Long grain rice, cardamom, topped with dried fruit and toasted slivered almonds. Delicious. It was the perfect texture-- not too liquid, not all gelatinous. And the rice was not mushy or hard, two problems I frequently encounter with rice pudding. Sun Jul 30 10:47:04 -0700 2006 770314 10574 Notorious EMDB
