Shoppers who need a speedy burst of energy before braving the crowds at Uniqlo might want to check out the wide-ranging cheesecakes here.
Cempedak cheesecake. I've hated cempedak since childhood; this was the first recipe using this fruit that I've enjoyed (!). Mild-tasting, with juicy, gelatinous fruit pulp.
Layered cheesecake, with cream cheese, Belgian chocolate & Oreo base. A simple, successful blend of subtle tastes and delicate textures.
Durian cheesecake. Beautifully presented. Pretty fresh too, without offensive odors.
Rocky road cheesecake. The marshmallows were an awesome addition, imparting a wholesome chewiness to the soft, smooth cheesecake.
Belgian dark chocolate cheesecake. As aromatic and intense as promised.
Cafe Latte cheesecake. Coffee lovers might appreciate this better than we did.
Chocolate velvet cake with choc fudge center. Our only non-cheesecake choice. Could have been more moist, though it had a reasonably rich cocoa flavor.
White chocolate cheesecake. Were we all caked out in the end? Oh yeah.
What works well with cheesecake? Pago del Vicario Corte Dulce Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc 2006, a sweet wine purchased from wineactually.com.
Su's Cakes For Kicks,
Fahrenheit 88.
What a (sweet) extravaganza. That really is quite a lot of cake though! :)
ReplyDeleteMcCutie have been a fan of her Lychee Cheesecake for a while now. We order it from her online store for special occasions or just have a slice at Vintry outlets.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that she has opened a retail outlet when we visited Fahrenheit 88. Too bad they didn't have the Lychee Cheesecake on sale.
J: ya, to paraphrase marie Antoinette, let me eat cake! :D
ReplyDeleteQwazymonkey: ooh, they had the lychee cheesecake available here this week, but they mixed up my order and didn't give it to me. Sounds yummy!
I'm interested in the durian and cempedak cheesecake! I hope there'll be a mangosteen one soon!
ReplyDeleteMichelle: mangosteen! My fave fruit! I'd love that too! :D
ReplyDeletetried her durian cheesecake, its a very very good version..nice to c she has ventured out to the public!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for pairing wine with cakes!
ReplyDeleteNot-so-hurrah for possible mangosteen cheesecake... :P
what's a durian cheesecake without offensive odor? it's just wrongggg :D Its like curry mee without curry!
ReplyDeletejoe: ya, i've never ordered her cakes online before, so it was nice to finally try them! :D
ReplyDeletelfb: Mangosteens are much
Maligned. But if you must, how
'Bout ciku cheesecake? :D
augustdiners: heheh, there was still the unmistakable smell of durian, but it wasn't overwhelming (thank heaven and su!) :D
Screw ciku cheesecakes -
ReplyDeleteI rather date a cheeky
Ciki babycake!
:D
lfb: oh, which reminds me, u never did mention whether u finally managed to munch on those macarons from babycakes at g tower :D
ReplyDeleteNo lor... Last macarons I had, A Lil Fat Monkey bought from Natalie's I think. I guess I'm just not a big macaron person. (Nor is Devil, actually.)
ReplyDeletePlus, I lazy to walk. Hahahah..
That's a lot of cake! And good wine pairing. ;)
ReplyDeletesay my name , say my name!
ReplyDeleteKENNY MAH! did u say my name?!! ROFL:P
She should work on her presentation. Better shaped and decorated cakes would sell better ;p
ReplyDeleteBut of course, taste is of outmost paramount.
lfb: i love macarons, but i'm trying not to get addicted to them. sadly though, the best ones i've ever had were in paris, and therefore, out of reach for now...
ReplyDeletebangsar-babe: yep, too much cake, really (could have skipped the last two or three)! and yeah, wine goes well with everything, heheh :D
ciki: wah, u've got extremely powerful hearing! we'd better not say anything bad about u behind your back! =)
tng: heheh, maybe the cakes are out of shape cos i mishandled them while photographing them! they're so easy to squash! :D
The Best I Ever Had Was In Paris. Sounds like a title of some chick-lit novel, no? (No offense.)
ReplyDeleteAnd that Ciki har... selective hearing, aitelyu. :P
how come until now i never like cempedak nor nangka??? :p
ReplyDeletelfb: heheh, based on the title, would i read that book? hell, no! :D
ReplyDeletebabe_kl: cempedak and nangka are stinky! and they leave a bad aftertaste, heheh...
Great looking presentation! Wine and cake? I like the way you think :)
ReplyDeletefeedme: yeah, i'm not sure which i liked better, the wine or the cakes, heh :D
ReplyDeleteI just realise that the title I suggested might very well be a film and not a book. Perhaps the sequel to 'One Night in Paris'? :P
ReplyDeleteP.S. Or was that 'All Night in Paris'? Err...
Lfb: 'Macarons All Night In Paris'? I'd read that book/watch that movie instead :D
ReplyDeleteThat's really a LOT of cakes in ONE sitting?!
ReplyDeletepureglutton: yeah, probably too many cakes! luckily, didn't feel ill after that though :D
ReplyDeleteYeahloh, in the midst of rushing to see what the hoo-ha over Uniqlo was, we missed this kiosk on the ground floor.
ReplyDeleteDid make a point to return after the shopping but ended up exiting to the main road.
Coz the retail store was mad-crowded.
Should be a good place to sit down and have some cakes.
j2kfm: yeah, i've been totally avoiding uniqlo! every time i step into fahrenheit 88, it's just to makan. hopefully things will calm down after, errmm, chinese new year :D
ReplyDeleteHello! Had a Durian cheese cake yesterday from your outlet in Bangsar for one of my manager's birthday. Wow! It tasted really good. Enjoyed every bite! Hope to order 1 for my mum's birthday next week!
ReplyDeletetina: glad to hear your enjoyed it =)
