Grandma's flan

What it is: A traditional creamy vanilla custard with caramel sauce.

Price: 26 yuan

Comments: We suspect chef Osmani Castillo has embellished his granny's presentation, but the taste, he says, is all hers. This classic Latin dessert maybe on the sweet side for Chinese diners, who might prefer Castillo's arroz conleche (rice pudding), which sings thanks to an infusion of cinnamon.
