My friend and I are doing desserts on our days off and selling them for extra income. This is a Filipino dessert called leche flan made from steaming egg yellow, cream, and evaporated milk. It tastes so good!

"Leche" reminds me of "dulce de leche", something I sometimes eat. I guess the flan tastes alike. Well, leche just means milk in Spanish.

@S4mmyboy I got to know about "dulche de leche" years ago thanks to a classmate from Argentina. It reminded me of toffee. The name "Philippines" comes from the King of Spain so the Spanish influence is strong there. Funny how I may sometimes understand few of the words the Pinoy say because I can speak a little of Spanish, then it's also the language closest to Italian.

It is a side income too apart from the satisfaction you get by making them taste good.

Sounds a bit like a creme brulee, which I love, so I am sure I will like this too. Desserts are naughty but nice, so I am sure you make fortune selling them.

It is a cheaper version of creme brûlée. You will definitely love it. It will destroy your diet.

@flapiz I am glad that someone is working with you on your side income and home it is not too much to do that too besides a job.

@Hannihar I just don't like my job anymore. I'm losing the will to do it. I'd do anything than nursing.
