This place is actually just a street away from my favourite korean BBQ place. So one day after a korean meal, i went over to check out the shop. Upon stepping in, i notice that they had only a small selection of cakes and was expecting to be disappointed. Oh boy, how wrong was i & before i knew it, i was hooked!

Everything in the glass display looks so neat. Nothing out of place. The cakes looks so dainty and quaint and too good to be eaten. So i decided to order a piece of New York Cheesecake and a Oreo Cheese cake. The New York Cheesecake was heavenly! It melts in your mouth and it taste so delicate and rich! The texture of the cheesecake was so smooth and dense that you feel like having another. The portion looks small but packs a punch. This is quality vs quantity to me. The Oreo cheesecake is not bad too but is a tad normal when u compare it with the New York Cheesecake.

Tried the Noisette just yesterday. Was pretty rich in texture and there were hidden surprises too. Beneath the shiny chocolate surface, there were pieces of crunchy stuff which i though was pralines. There was also hazelnuts and the whole taste reminded me of Ferero Rochers! Worth a try.

Avoid those that comes in a glass as they look good but don't taste as good.

Will try the macaroons the next time i visit.

*Ps Sorry for the New York Cheesecake picture. My partner couldn't resist taking a bite out of the cake before i took the picture!

I went to buy 2 cakes and 6 macarons for the 2nd anniversary of our marriage. Noisette and Chocolate Cheese Cake and macarons (vanilla/cassis/chocolate/mango/hazel nut/???).

Chocolate cheese cake was heavy and sweet. Taste was actually harmonized with chocolate and normal cheese cake.
But Chocolate taste was a bit stronger than cheese cake and it made it almost chocolate cake. Anyway it was cheese cake.

Noisette was better. This was also similar taste with Chocolate cake but 2 chestnuts were inside of sponge cake. Texture was slightly light buy chocolate was straight came to my tongue. It was sweet but adequately made.

Overall taste was so so but I don’t think it would be such sweet. This can be European taste. American must be much sweeter. As for size of the cake, it is a little bit small. However, taste is heavy and it makes us too much unless we are big eaters. This would be an adult piece of cake.

Macaron was colorful. There were various kind of macarons and I chose 6 pieces at random. I did not have any idea how taste it was. According to my wife, these macaron were quite authentic and quality was better than she ever had. Though macaron was also sweet to me, taste itself was nice. Price is not so bad while cake is a bit high for such small size. Satisfied totally.

Was taking a stroll after dinner with boyfriend when we chanced upon this little shop. My boyfriend loves cheesecake so we just gotta give it a try. Funny thing is we only ordered a Noisette (dark chocolate mousse cake) initially. Half-way thr this rich and delicious cake do I remember we should try the cheesecake!

So off I go to get a New York cheesecake. The cake is topped with 3 big, juicy strawberries and it looks very pretty indeed. The verdict? GOOD! The cake is dense to the right degree and packed full with flavour YET not overwhelming. Even a very, very picky cheesecake eater like my boyfriend agrees that it is good. But note that the cakes are on the sweet side and we had to rely on black ice tea to prevent sugar overload.

On the minus side, the stools and little coffee tables in the shop are almost the same height and you have to slouch when you eat.. not a very comfortable position.

Desserts always taste best with nice company. :)

New York Cheesecake. The pure, unadulterated cheesecake with no fancy ingredients added either to the cheesecake or placed on top of it. The proper New York cheesecake has a simple and unchanging list of ingredients: cream cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla and (heavy) cream.

Obolo offers a slightly jazzed up version of the New York cheesecake, topped with whole strawberries adorned with pistachio slices ($6.20 per slice).

The texture of the cheesecake was smooth and dense. I was expecting a more custardy-like consistency, in terms of texture. The flavour of the cheesecake was, believe it or not, not too cheesy, with a hint of tartness. It did not leave any discernable cheesy aftertaste. My only gripe was the (lack of) graham cracker crust (I prefer a more generous crust).

I was most impressed with how cleanly cut the cake slices were. No stray crumbs, nor smudges, littered the slice. In fact, the slices of blueberry and mango-passion cheesecake at the counter looked immaculately clean and tempting.

Would I recommend this place? I was slightly disappointed that I did not get a "knock-your-socks-off" New York Cheesecake taste experience. However, there were a few other cakes that looked rather tempting, so I would probably come back.

Next stop, blueberry cheesecake perhaps.
