Cambodian "pumpkin" sweets are irresistible! Lunch at Kagurazaka "Bayon" (2/2) [entabe.com]

Autumn taste pumpkin. According to one theory, the etymology is the Southeast Asian country "Cambodia". Actually, I heard that there is a shop where you can eat pumpkin sweets unique to Cambodia. It's "Bayon" in Kagurazaka, Tokyo. (2/2)

There is volume with ice cream

Rapau Sungkucha uses pumpkin pudding and hollowed-out pumpkin as a whole to make pudding, which is then cut and served as it is. It also has a big ice cream on it, which makes it look powerful.

Cut pudding baked with pumpkin in a bowl

When I put a spoon in it, it's also very soft. It can be easily scooped up, including the green skin on the outside. It doesn't crumble, but it can be cut cleanly.

It's still sweet when it's chewy. It has a natural sweetness like pumpkin, but it is rich. Sweets with the scent and taste of pumpkin itself, rather than the gentle-tasting pudding.

Pumpkin itself is a sweet candy

I wondered if the pumpkin would turn into sweets if it was delicious, or if it was a little sly.

In Bayon, it is also possible to have a pudding made from a whole pumpkin served as it is without cutting it. However, since there is a considerable amount, it seems safe to share it with a large number of people.

Even so, it was a time when I felt a strong persuasive power in the theory that the etymology of pumpkin is Cambodia.
