Well, I guess it’s time for my semi-regular “here’s another amazing flavour you need to try at Bang Bang” post, because I just tried a flavour called Flin Flan, and it was amazing and you need to try it.
They describe it as “eggy custard Filipino style.” If you’ve never had flan, it’s essentially a Spanish (or Filipino) version of creme caramel. And if you’ve never had creme caramel, what’s your deal? That’s a classic dessert. Get it together.
As you’d expect, the ice cream version of it at Bang Bang is delicious, because everything at Bang Bang is delicious.
The ice cream itself has a really great custardy flavour (and it goes without saying that it’s incredibly creamy and rich). It’s topped with a very intense caramel sauce that has a flavour that’s right on the verge of being burnt. It’s so great.
There’s also a piece of crunchy sugar on top that’s maybe a bit too substantial, but otherwise has the same rich flavour as the sauce. I know it’s cold out, so maybe you don’t feel like eating ice cream, but this is too delicious to pass up.
