Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart - Okay lah

I guess many people will mistake this brand of cheese tart with the one from Japan, BAKE Cheese Tart, due to the similarities in the colour scheme of the packaging. Once one is clear that these two brands are totally unrelated, the question about the differences arose.


Price wise, Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart—I will call this HBCT from here on—is slightly cheaper than BAKE. And since there are quite a number of HBCT outlets, it is easier to grab some HBCTs to satisfy one’s cravings for cheese tart. And for the record, this brand is not from Hokkaido, but from Malaysia instead.

But for out of this world experience of savouring cheese tart, BAKE is the one instead. HBCT has lava-like cheese filling, which is nice, and it is a good thing that it is different from the texture of BAKE’s cheese filling. So if one wants to try something different from BAKE’s products, this one is worth a try, but take note that HBCT’s cheese is more one-dimensional in taste. My main gripe is that HBCT’s pastry crust has gritty and rough texture that does not go well with the smooth cheese filling. Otherwise, it is pretty okay actually.

My Thoughts: Not Bad
