The Cheesecake Cafe @ East Coast Road

Having gathered rave reviews for their speciality cheesecakes, Chilli Padi and Mustard Sally sought out this relatively exclusive cafe located in the east side of Singapore with high expectations and still, tight wallets.

The cafe was easy to spot, with a bright cheery yellow sign! Yellow was their theme color, with obvious imagery connotations to Swiss cheese. We sat outside, but ventured in to cleanse our bodies of toxins, and boy was Chilli Padi impressed by the Zen deco (think statues, portraits, and a mini-fountain under dim lighting) and washroom. The unique menu that resembled a DVD cover proved to further enthrall Chilli Padi.

Besides the traditional American cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake, they had an selection of more unusual flavors such as Rum and Raisin, Peanut Butter, Peach, so forth. Served on cold plates to keep the temperature of the cake cool.




Mustard Sally went old skool with Oreo Cheesecake $6.50

A thin layer of finely minced Oreo on the top of a else perfectly normal cheesecake. Not that normal wasn't good; texture was smooth, it was pleasantly creamy and heavy, all round nice. But lacked that oomph. Thought it might have been better with a thicker layer of crushed oreos for an extra crunch.

3 / 5




Chilli Padi ordered Peanut Butter Cheesecake $6.50

Chilli Padi liked this one better. A thin layer of peanut butter on the top, with similar density and texture as above, but this one leaves a lovely slight sour aftertaste, and the peanut butter only kicks in after a few cycles in the mouth.

They served complimentary water. A slice of cake ranges from $6.50 - $6.90, which was on the pricey side for an average-sized piece, as compared to other popular coffee joints such as NYDC and Coffee Bean. There was nothing particularly special or memorable about it; it left not a very strong impression.

However, the friendly staff were attentive and opens doors for you with a smile, a plus point for customer service! SOOO... good customer service, with a bar-like ambiance inside, and late opening hours, this cafe is ideal for a little dessert after dinner if you're around Siglap area.
