It is not like one can easily find mascarpone cheese cakes in bakeries here, so this fact alone is enough for me to take the plunge and buy the whole cake—actually, I was there to buy a bottle of water only at first. And I am glad I did because it is impossible to stop at one slice.
The very mild nutty flavour of cheese is so subtle in taste yet surprisingly more distinct in the mist of creaminess. Maybe it is because there is no distraction from other stronger flavours. Yes, the best mascarpone cheese baked goods are kept pure—no chocolate and whatsoever. And the mascarpone cheese cake here gets it right.
The texture of the baked cheese cake is so soft and sublime. It almost literally melts in the mouth. And the cookie base is crumbly, soft and moist, complementing the cheese cake perfectly. Maybe that is part of the reason why one slice is not enough.
By the way, it seems like no label is used to indicate which cheese cake is in the box, so better to visually inspect that the cake is the correct one since this place also offers Hokkaido Cheese Cake, which is darker in colour. While I believe that Hokkaido Cheese Cake will taste great too, but it is slightly cheaper than Mascarpone Cheese Cake. So make sure you do not bring the wrong one home.
Thoughts: Loving it!
