Dinky Japanese cheesecakes @ Mini One

Saw these cute pieces of cheesecake so bought two to try. They are priced by weight.
I did not try their croissants because they looked dry and hard. The cheesecake was light and not heavy.
It had so many different tones in the taste, first I could taste some coconut, next the cheese and then the sweetness.
The size of these cheesecakes are about 6cm x 4cm.

Your restaurant choice for desserts as well @ 金源小館 Your Restaurant

Usually I come here for Chinese food but I suddenly remembered they do desserts as well so went in to try some.
I was only intending to try two but in the end I tried four and there are two more I want to try as well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This was the first time sitting on the outer table so I had a different view of the restaurant.
I saw these nice chandeliers and French style windows which was really interesting for a Chinese restaurant, but it really matched what I was trying today.
As there are no pictures of the chandeliers I am posting a few here.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was rather surprised for such a Hong Kong style restaurant that they had western desserts and they even had home made ice-cream!!!!

The qualities of these desserts were really good! It was quite diverse that they cook local dishes and make western desserts.
While I was there, there was quite a few people buying desserts too.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Caramel egg pudding
The rest of the desserts are served in plastic tubs and this one was taken out of the holder and put in a bowl.
The egg pudding was smooth and the caramel sauce was nice too with the usual bitterness.
The sauce was quite runny.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tiramisu
I thought this was going to be heavy and creamy but it really surprised me because it was light and the sponge was soaked in some liquor which balanced out the creaminess of the mousse.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Blueberry cheesecake
Again, this one tasted better than I thought, it was extremely light and the blueberries had been soaked and had some fizz to it when you ate it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Whisky ice-cream
I was quite full for ice-cream but the portion looked tiny so tried that as well.
The texture is similar to frozen cream and not ice-cream so the temperature of the dessert is not freezing cold like real ice-cream.
The whisky was strong but I found this dessert too heavy because it just tasted like heavy cream.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The price of these desserts were reasonable too at $19 per dessert.
Although I saw a non domestic furry friend in the kitchen it was better than seeing a six legged thing.

McCafe: Cookies and cream cheesecake

 
The Cookies and cream cheesecake immediately stood out from the cake selection.

It is different from the usual cheesecakes because half of the base is cake and the above is cookies and cream cheesecake filling.
Usually there is more proportion of the cheesecake filling and the bottom is just a biscuit base tart.

I rarely eat cheesecakes because I find them quite heavy and I do not like the biscuit base.

Cookies and cream cheesecake
The cake looked visually nice, there was a distinct dark brown cake base in contrast to the light yellow cheesecake filling on top embedded with oreo cookies and topped with big white chocolate drops and oreo pieces.
The cheesecake filling at the top was amazingly light, it was similar to thick mousse and the oreo cookie pieces in it were nice and soft as well.
It was a good match with the chocolate cake base at the bottom which was not too sweet, but the cake base was a little too dry and hard.
Although there was oreo pieces in it, there was still a lemon taste in the cheesecake filling!
