Finally made it to the bakery that started off the hype! The original burnt cheesecake ($7.50) is made from 4 types of cheese, surprisingly light but extremely flavourful. Didn’t quite live up to expectations - the base was watery even though we ate it almost immediately after purchase, and we would have liked the top to have a greater depth of caramelised sweetness.

Also tried the burnt cheese cruffin ($5.50) - the oozy filling was sweeter than the cake, but complemented the layered pastry nicely. Would similarly enjoy it more if it had been caramelised more! The sor hei ($4) is a crowd favourite, but tastes similar to a regular chocolat au pain and we didn’t find it sufficiently crispy. Both pastries would have been better heated!
