My favorite desserts are bread pudding and chocolates.  This dessert let me combine the two and it is super delicious!

Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 5 large beaten eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 3 cups cubed of your favorite bread, allow to stale overnight in a bowl
• 1/2 cup chocolate chip

For the sauce

• 1 cup condensed milk
• 1/2 cup milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan.

Mix together granulated sugar, eggs, and milk in a bowl; add vanilla. Pour over cubed bread and let sit for 10 minutes.

Pour bread mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate chip over the top and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until set. Remove from oven.

For the sauce

Mix together the condensed milk and milk.  Heat over medium heat until warm.

**Sometimes I like to top it with a berry sauce (heat 1/2 cup sugar and 1 bag of frozen berries, stir until the sugar is melted over medium heat).

This dish is great on a cold day. All of the ingredients for this dish was purchased at Seafood City (an Asian supermarket)

Serves 6-8

Ingredients

12 cups of water
2lbs of shrimp (deshelled but save the shells)

1 tbsp of chicken flavor bouillon
Salt (as desired)

3 cloves of garlic

2 cups of bean sprouts
2 cups of baby bakchoy (chopped)

5 eggs (hard boiled, chopped)

How to prepare:

Boil the 4 cups of water.

For the broth:
Heat the oil and sauteed the onion, ginger and garlic until soft. Add the shrimp shells and curry powder. Mix well and add the 12 cups of water. Add the bouillon and salt to taste. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the shells and add the shrimp, shrimp ball and tofu and cook for another 5 minutes. Do not overcook the shrimp.

Cook the bean sprouts and the bakchoy (separately) in the boiled water until soft or to your liking.

Drop the noodles in the same hot water for 2 minutes to warm the noodles up.
