Good Rice Pudding?

I know the title might be hard to believe, however, after going to a WQXR concert in the Greene Space, I took a trip down to Little Italy and stumbled upon this store called Rice to Riches. I thought it was an upscale, modern, Chinese restaurant. After eating at Lombardi's, which has very good pizza regardless of a fact that people assume it's a tourist trap, I went to check out the store's outside to find that it has an array of different flavors of rice pudding.

Standing across the street, my parents and I were contemplating whether we wanted to check out the inside. After we were heckled by a homeless person smoking a cigarette, that sealed the deal to cross the street and go in. The store had a very futuristic setting with rice pudding flavors like chocolate-hazelnut, rocky road, strawberry, pina-collada, and many more. They were as well being served in four large sizes which where difficult to finish considering how rich the pudding was.

After being so skeptical of rice pudding, I dipped my odd spoon into my pina-collada flavored pudding and took a bite which was a pleasant surprise. I continued to eat it because it just tasted so good, however, it was packed to the top of the container and after a while, it started to feel bottomless which I was happy about because the flavor and the consistency enjoyable, unlike other puddings that I've had in the past, however, I was getting full.

Rice to Riches was so good that I'm looking to coming back there all summer and maybe some of the time that I'm at Mannes to try all of the flavors. I know that many other people would enjoy this little secret and this company will soon get big, that'll be possible for them for the reason that they deliver all over the country from that one store. Even if this post isn't about eating their "Moby" size (serves 10) by myself, it's a good place to know about. A good snack or dessert, Rice to Riches is worth checking out.
