Having had a fantastic Vietnamese chef as my personal teacher for over 25 years, I've learned to make a great variety of flans and sweet dessert soups.
Please snd the ones which *worked*? Skip the sweet soups - we have them in Poland also, I've always hated them, and didn't change my mind as I matured :)
Almond "pudding" is one that we've not found a recipe for, though have found a wonderful packet.
I do have a recipe for the almond "pudding" (Grace Zia Chu; "The Pleasures of Chinese Cooking", "almond float") but it's definitely bast..., er, Americanised; it uses evaporated milk and gelatin (not surprising, really; the book was written in '62). And, when I tried it despite of that, it didn't taste *at all* like the one I had at the restaurant, so I never made it again.
I'll see if I can "hit" my stepdaughter-in-law for a packet; I don't particularly *like* pre-packaged puddings (love Jell-o, though <g>), but will eat them on occasion, so, why not...
