Leche Flan
One of the well-loved desserts by the Filipinos is Leche Flan; and there are a lot of versions of it which is typical of any Filipino dish. Unlike other nationalities which somehow have standardized recipes of their dishes, Filipinos have their own family recipe which makes it an adventure to eat from one family to another. I usually notice this when I attend fiestas at the barrios, though not a pleasant adventure every time. Anyways, here are just two of the versions out there:
- LECHE FLAN ( EGG YOLK)

10pcs egg yolk
