We’d probably seen enough of Basque Burnt Cheesecakes in the market over the past few years, so I would guess that the unique part of this Taro Burnt Cheesecake (S$7.20) was that the yam paste was spread between two layers of baked cheesecake. As a result, the cheesecake probably didn’t come across as overpowering with taro flavours.

However, it was a delight to have the yam paste sweetness coming through as an after-flavour. Again (like its Orh Nee Tart counterpart), it was not a matter of which flavour overpowers which, but more of how both flavours took turns to please the palates.
