Set in a firm but crumbly tart shell is a mound of cream cheese – apparently a blend of three varieties, its domed top burnished to an alluring golden colour.

Expecting an airy Japanese chiffon cheesecake texture, I was nowhere near prepared for how ethereally LUSH the filling was – my upper lip just couldn't help plunging along with my teeth into its cloud-like depths, emerging with an admittedly unladylike cream cheese moustache. I licked every bit off, not wanting to waste any of that glorious mousse, its rich cheesiness a juxtaposition against its light-as-air consistency.

Can't wait to have more of this once the Singapore outpost is open at Ion!
