雞蛋布丁(Bánh Flan):越南版的經典法式甜品



🍮 Egg Flan is a hugely popular dessert in Vietnam, influenced by the French colonial period, with a local twist. In Ho Chi Minh City, Flaon Thảo Điền (check details) is famous for its freshly made flan every day. The smooth custard blends perfectly with the subtle bitterness of caramel, creating a delicate and creamy texture.

A must-try is their "Flan with Coffee"—rich Vietnamese espresso poured over the flan, offering a perfect balance of sweet and bitter flavors. It's a layered experience that will make you a regular! At around 50 TWD per serving, it’s both affordable and exquisite. 😋☕
