Ulog No. 58: "My Leche Flan: An Epic Fail"
I decided to make Leche Flan so I could bring a dessert for our dinner at my Auntie's house tonight. Whilst I was making it, I received a phone call from my other Auntie who asked me to take her to Centrelink today. I said I was sorry I could not take her, and that she caught me at a bad time. I was in the middle of cooking for tonight's dinner. I intend to bring Leche Flan, Tocino, Special Fried Rice and the Coconut dish with Pumpkin, Green beans and Prawns.
By the way, Leche Flan is the Filipino version of caramel custard or crème caramel. It is one of the most famous and favourite desserts which Filipinos enjoy not only on Christmas and other important occasions but anytime throughout the year.
I have made Leche Flan before and it always turns out great. It's easy to prepare and cook. Sometimes I steam it, sometimes I bake it in the oven. This time, I decided to bake it.
How I Baked My Leche Flan:
8 whole eggs
1 can condensed milk (375 g)
1 can evaporated milk (375 ml)
2 tsp vanilla extract
For caramel:
1 cup raw sugar
1/2 cup water
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 150o Celsius.
Meanwhile, I marinated 1 kilo of pork with Tocino instant mix and then refrigerated it. I will have to cook it later. Then, I made myself busy looking for tablets on eBay (I know, I said I am not going to buy tablets from eBay anymore), then, at 30-minute mark, the leche flan was starting to smell really good from the oven. "Hmmm... I can't wait for it to be cooked," I thought to myself. At 40-minute mark, I went back to the kitchen to check on my leche flan.
MY LECHE FLAN IS AN EPIC FAIL! WHAT A DISASTER!
Of course, I can't bring it to my Auntie's house. I will buy frozen desserts from the shop for desserts instead. Ice cream and cheesecake will be perfect in this 35oC weather.
Oh well, I'll just have to try again and next time it will be a success! I will even post it on Steemit.

That is the reason I let the answering machine get the phone when I am in the middle of baking! Hopefully, the other dishes you prepared turned out fantastic.

I thought the Auntie that phoned me wanted to talk to me about dinner, if everything was under control. It turned out it was about something else. Haha! She phoned me at that time when I was pouring in the mixture into the baking pans. Haha!
As for the other dishes, they turned out all right. Not too bad. Everybody seemed to like it. :-)
I'm glad the other dishes turned out all right. Remember sharing a meal with family or freinds always makes the food taste better.

That's right. Everyone had a lovely time and after dinner we sang karaoke, which was even more fun!
Vuelve a intentarlo, el que insiste vence asi que no te desanimes.....
Dios te bendiga Jesucristo vivee y te amaaaa
Muchas Gracias por tu comentario. Sí, no me desanimaré. Amo a Jesucristo. El es mi Dios.
That's alright sis. I know how you feel when I cook, because that often happens to me hehe. Were you still able to eat it, though?
The texture is like omelette. I will eat it for sure. I don't want to waste it. I just can't share it with everybody else, it's too embarrassing. What a failure!
So, I will just learn from this mistake, and next time, I will not lose concentration. Haha!!!
Haha... we can submit your experience to teardrops wahaha... that's how my first try turned out, sis. How is it gonna be real smooth, and not like a texture of cheese? Haha..
If only @teardrops will read this post. 😭
@evlachsblog, It happens but good to see that you came up with your Failed Dish so for sure you are sportive. Keep enjoying and stay blessed. 🙂
