It is probably too late but here goes:
Leche Flan made by my wife;
Jalea Ube made by Tita Zeny; Also her Macapuno.
Sans Rival made by my cousin, Mary Anne, (she used to own a Manila Bake shop before she went to the US)
Coffee Jelly with gata as made at my late comadre’s home (Doña Pinang). Also her Turron de Manila, with embedded langka strips with the banana.
Masapan de Pili;
Tocino del Cielo as made in El Gusto, which is probably now defunct.
Suman with latik (which is impossible to find now);
Mango flambe, as made by my bayaw, Miguel;
Arroz con leche as made by my mother, also her bread pudding.

I’ve been in the U.S. over 38 years but the memories of desserts made in the Philippines (NOT the short-cut American versions we so often have out here in San Diego) just brings so much “sweet” nostalgia, bar none.
