In search of nice cakes and bakes, this time is cheesecake. As it was not a planned cake hunt and it was a Sunday and i was at the west, would like to try Lana's Chocolate cake, but they are closed on Sunday. So the only choice i have got is AllanBakes at The Village Centre. It's located at Pasir Panjang area. No problem with parking, but it's super expensive. We just stop by to get some cakes, and ok i also stop by The Fish Market to get some japanese seasoning, but all in all was only 25 minutes and we were being charged for $2.89. More expensive than parking at Takashimaya! (But we did not check the parking rates, not sure was it per entry charge on Sunday that's why so expensive. Do let me know if you know.)
.
AllanBakes is located at level 2, a small little shop, whereby you are greeted by the aroma of the bakes and surprisingly the baker, Allan, himself. The smell was so wonderfully that it makes you want to buy everything. However, i heard that they are famous for cheesecake, so i didn't want to waste my calories for the others. Perhaps it was quite late, so the only cheesecakes left in slices were Strawberry, Blueberry and Apple flavour. I chose Strawberry and Apple because i don't really fancy blueberries.
.
The cheesecakes are not cheap given the location and packaging. It was $4.80 per slice for the Strawberry and $5.00 for the Apple one. The packaging is those normal plastic boxes you see from Bangawan Solo.
.
Their signature cake is the Strawberry Cheesecake. I would say i was quite disappointed. But the cheesecake was really very ordinary, Newyork cheesecake with strawberry topping. The base was the normal shortcake base and perhaps i only eat it on the next day, it was soggy and oily. As for the cheesecake itself, it was really normal and in fact i find it too sweet. 3/5
.
As for the Apple cheesecake, the texture is very different from the Strawberry cheesecake. It was like a mousse cheesecake, because the cheesecake kind of "melts" after being left in room temperature for a while. Taste like apple pie, due to the combination of Apple and cinnamon. It is light in texture, flavour wise, not bad but again, too sweet for my liking. 3/5
