and tada...looking good..
and..the almost perfect slice..
an almost sweet victory..despite the minor glitches as always..d cheese that i used smelled pretty funny...so i decided to reduce the amount..and turns out the effect was not too mouth-watering..it tasted good..but could have been better though..
and...the crust wasnt thick enough..just a tad bit too thin..above all..it was good..haha..
bro was hapily fiiling his already bloated tummy with the sausage flan..in less than an hour..almost nothing is left..i had to keep 1 slice in a tupperware and keep in safely guarded in my room..so that San can have a bite and comment tomorrow..haha..
give it a try ..will u?
