REALLY GOOD
1st ORIGINAL NY PLAIN CHEESECAKE
Junior's Restaurant and Bakery, New York
BRIEF: “Smooth and light, soft and creamy, heavenly and delicious. The Junior’s cake that started it all. Our Original New York Cheesecake is always baked fresh on a delicious bottom layer of buttery light sponge cake. Rated the best overall cheesecake by The Wall Street Journal.” SOOT’S TAKE: My first ever cheesecake in New York. It is smooth, creamy and surprisingly lighter than I expected it to be as all other NY-style cheesecakes I’ve had outside of NY have been dense.
2nd BEATRIX BAKES’ THE BLUEBERRY STREUSEL CHEESECAKE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Creamy, dreamy cheesecake from “BEATRIX BAKES”, topped with vanilla-scented sour cream topped with burst blueberry compote topped with butter oat streusel. I regret nothing. Happy National Blueberry Cheesecake Day.
3rd MY PARIS KITCHEN’S LE FABULEUX CHEESECAKE DE DEE AU CARAMEL AU BEURRE SALÉ
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Cheesecake Day! Kicking it off with Dee’s Fabulous Cheesecake with Salted Butter Caramel Sauce, as adapted by David Lebovitz in his Paris Kitchen. I may try it with the Kiri cheese next time because it’s available and I’m curious!
4th LE FABULEUX CHEESECAKE DE DEE AU CARAMEL AU BEURRE SALÉ
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy Cheesecake Day a year after this one happened. There was no such cheesecake this year but thanks to events originating in the 1800’s, culminating in this digital capture almost 2 centuries later, I get to live vicariously through salivating at a visual representation. Calorie-free. 😂🤤😏😭
5th EXTRA RICH AND CREAMY CHEESECAKE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Technically a birthday cheesecake but perfect for any occasion, including a heart attack.
6th SARA LEE ORIGINAL CREAM CHEESECAKE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Much better the day after and some time in the freezer. Also, it tastes like the real thing!
7th BAILEYS IRISH CREAM CHEESECAKE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Let’s see, it’s been 2 years since I DIY’d a cheesecake? 2 years since that bottle of Baileys began collecting dust? And it’s been abother pretty shit week for humanity? Well then, one can (almost) always count on the healing power of baking. Looks amateurish (I know), but this cheesecake is the mostest: super creamy, dense, pretty damn flavorful and intoxicating. Can’t really go wrong with Baileys in the filling and ganache. Plus it’s St. Paddy’s Day, so why the hell not? ☘️
8th BASQUE BURNT CHEESECAKE
Kaizen Coffee, Subang Jaya
Would “Rich & Creamy” be too cheesy a description?
9th 半熟チーズ HANJUKU CHEESE
Lavender, AEON Bukit Indah, Johor Bahru
I’d seen these around but never got around to trying them. Boy am I glad I discovered these! They’re cheesy, buttery and soufflé-like in their texture and in a word, delectable.
PRETTY GOOD
10th BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE
Junior's Restaurant and Bakery, New York
Would’ve been better without the blueberry topping.
11th ORIGINAL CHEESECAKE
KIROI FRESHLY BAKED CHEESE CAKE, Singapore
Fresh out of the oven from a Bake-To-Order Japanese Recipe Bakery. It’s passable (I can do this at home too) and it is very small.
13th BASQUE BURNT CHEESECAKE
Atas Sentral, Private Location
It’s got a gooey, meltier texture and cheesier taste compared to other variations of cheesecake I’ve had, somewhat akin to a lava cheesecake.
15th JUST ONE COOKBOOK’S JAPANESE CHEESECAKE スフレチーズケーキ
Soots Cook Nook, Private
My first. It’s higher maintenance than its western style counterpart but if you want to elevate cheesecake to lighter and fluffier...🤷‍♀️
16th CHEESECAKE
Los Floristas, AAB
Not as dense as the North American kind (it was a bit drier) and certainly not as light as the Japanese kind. But you could be convinced it was cheesecake.
17th RUM & RAISIN CHEESECAKE
Yin's Sourdough Bakery and Cafe, Petaling Jaya
Cheesecake with hints of rum & raisin, with what tasted like an Oreo cookie crust.
18th HOKKAIDO CHEESECAKE PLATTER
Park HV, Singapore
Hokkaido cheese cakes in chocolate, coffee and matcha flavors.
JUST OK
20th NIGELLA LAWSON’S MANGO CHEESECAKE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Watered down with tears of despair over the great injustices faced by those in perennial oppression, and by the fact that I didn’t seal the springform properly against the water bath 😖😩
21st CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE PIE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Cheated with a readycrust (easy!) and commercially-made apple pie filling (yuck!). I would make the apple pie filling next time. The extra drizzle of caramel ice cream topping didn't do much to overcome the artificial taste of the apple pie filling either.
