My daughter first tried the Uncle Miki’s Japanese baked cheesecake a number of years ago when we were on holiday in Singapore. They had a stall at the entrance of Cold Storage (Centrepoint) and I bought one back to the hotel. She loved it and after that time, I bought it again once at their counter at Isetan, the supermarket at the basement in Lot 10, KL but she said it was not as nice.
We have had some pale imitations at the local bakeries here but it was only quite recently that we found one that we really liked at this bakery. If you remember, I mentioned in my recent post that we bought one not-very-big oval-shaped one and it cost RM14.00 – definitely not cheap, that’s for sure.
Anyway, my daughter and her friends tried making it in Wellington, New Zealand but something went wrong. When they took it out of the oven, the sides sank…so in the end, they had something that looked like a flying saucer…
She said that it tasted all right but it was not the same. Later, they tried to bake it again and it seemed that it was even worse than the first time.
Now that she’s home for the holidays, she was determined to give it another try and with the supervision and guidance from the mum, she was quite sure she would get it right and she did…
It certainly looked good but after it had cooled, the surface seemed to have wrinkled a bit…
But it did not matter as the cake was just right and tasted really good…
Well, if anyone’s interested, you can get the recipe from this link or this one and give it a try. Good luck!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
