My coworker made this flan and it was so good. Of course I asked for the recipe and I finally made it for my mom's birthday. The flan was rich, creamy and delicious. This flan has only 5 ingredients too, how simple is that? The only thing you should definitely be careful to do is to not burn the sugar. Also, the water bath is very important so that your flan doesn't burn while baking. Other than that, you should be fine. My family enjoyed this flan, even my uncle who is on a diet couldn't resist! By the way, we took my mom to Penang in Bethesda, MD for dinner per my cousin's suggestion and I can't wait to go back there. They serve Malaysian, Chinese and Indian dishes, and everything we got was amazing. If you follow me on instagram you would have seen all the dishes we picked. Enjoy!
