Sütlaç is a beloved Turkish classic – a creamy, comforting rice pudding baked until the top caramelizes into a golden skin while the inside stays silky and smooth. Our version honors the tradition but adds a delicate Shanghai twist.

We prepare it the traditional way, slowly simmering rice in milk until it thickens to velvet perfection. Then comes the surprise: a drizzle of fragrant osmanthus syrup – a floral, honeyed sweetness that complements the creamy pudding without overpowering it. Served chilled, finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon, and sometimes garnished with a few osmanthus flowers or crushed pistachios for texture.

It’s familiar yet unexpected. Comforting yet refined. Turkish tradition meets Shanghai elegance.
