I don't consider myself a baker, but I don't see what condensed milk
is going to add besides sweetness and maybe some bulk... I doubt it
"helps" eggs to rise. Isn't Cream of Tartar the egg stabilizer of the
Western world?

I've seen the word ovalette in print but that's about it. Googling, I
see Yelpers say it is supposed to be stocked in some stores around
here. Maybe you can Yelp for it in your area if you're interested in
trying a recipe where it's called for as an ingredient. I wouldn't
try substituting anything until I ate something where it was an
ingredient so I'd know what I was looking for in my finished product.
