Traditional Foods from the Dominican Republic

Flan is a Dominican custard that is a very famous dessert. Flan is something that you definitely need to try out if you haven’t had it. The soft texture mixed with the sweet taste is too good to miss out on.

Pernil is one of my favorite things to eat over the holidays. Every Christmas and Thanksgiving my family and I eat pernil con arroz blanco (pernil with white rice.) Pernil has a very special place in my heart and I recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their tastes.

Queso Frito isn’t really like a dish or anything, it's just fried cheese. But it’s still too good not to mention. It’s made by frying Tropical Queso Blanco (White cheese) until it's golden brown. And trust me it might not sound like a lot but the taste is amazing.
