Say cheese…

This Taiwanese franchise…

…had people queuing up for a mile to buy the cake and somebody did buy one for my sis once from their outlet here and I did give it a try but I failed to see what the frenzy was all about. I did not think it was anything I would buy, much less queue up for.

Well, they have an outlet at the megamall that we went to in Miri that day and no, there wasn’t anybody there at the time, no queue, nothing. I guess the novelty has worn off and it no longer has that appeal when it took the country by storm.

This…

…caught my attention and since I so love those baked Japanese cotton cheesecake, I decided that I must grab this Taiwanese one…

…to try.

It was good, pretty much like all the rest…

…but it had a sprinkling of raisins at the bottom, not that this was anything to get excited about.

I bought two – one to eat ourselves in our hotel room and the other for my cousin’s wife, a little something for her trouble in coming all the way to see us at the megamall.

This GRAND CASTELLA CAKE outlet is located on the ground floor, turn left upon entering the main entrance of the Bintang Megamall (4.396911, 113.993408) in Miri.
