15 Snacking : Baked Cheese Tarts

The Japanese Cheese Tarts interest ruled my Facebook news feed for a brief moment with oohs and aahs, only to disappear as fast as it started. I'm late to the party as usual, preferring to take my time with all things new. Experience has taught me that long queues are never worth it when it comes to food. 
   
After breakfast one Sunday morning, whilst heading to the car, Hubs and I walked into Berry's Cake House in Damansara Perdana out of curiosity. Hubs saw the Japanese Cheese Tarts first, alerted me to it and minutes later, we were paying for two of the tarts.

Light, creamy with a tart crust that made a great match - yummy flavours. Nothing over-powering. Worth the buy at RM3.00 per piece. We found it delicious.

A week later, I was at Mid Valley Megamall to catch up with a friend. I chanced upon Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart during my walkabout and proceeded to purchase two to take away at RM5.80 per piece.

Tadaaa! It is pretty.

It has a richer and creamier texture. The cheese ooze factor was definitely more. I found the crust plainer in taste and as you can see, thicker too. It was nice.

We prefer ...

As with all things, it is a matter of personal taste. For me and Hubs, Berry's will be our go-to for Japanese Cheese Tarts because we were hooked at first bite and found it addictive.

"Ling, Berry's one is much nicer! The crust and the filling was delicious together!"  Hubs proceeded to give me his thoughts on the matter. I agreed. Both crust and filling was awesome to us.

That said, we're not big fans of cheese tarts rarely ever buying any. The cheesier and richer it is, the more we go "ugh!". You can imagine how we feel about no-bake cheesecakes. No, no!

Have you jumped on the Japanese Cheese Tarts bandwagon yet?

    1. I've tried three different baked Japanese cheese tarts already, Rose and funnily, none of it similar in taste or texture. I wonder which one is what people call 'original'.
