Steamed Egg with Milk Custard (鮮奶燉蛋)

I loves to eat dessert especially pudding whether it done by baking or steaming.  And I know my mum loves dessert the most.

I done my first pudding when I am still studying in the Home Science class.  I remember that time, after I've finished baking that egg pudding, I brought it back home for my mum to taste and she immediately loves it.  After that, I totally forgotten how to make it till now though it is so easy to make.  Herewith, after been lapse for so long, this is the steamed egg with milk custard.

I don't know whether this is something similar with the Hongkee used to eat "Dun Tan" or not; but correct me if I am wrong.

 If you like egg tart, this pudding is something similar like that.
