Cheesecake

Cheesecake

　　There are many stories about the origin of cheesecake. It is believed that the first cheesecake originated in ancient Greece and was served to competitors at the first Olympic Games in 776 BC. Over time, it became a wedding tradition, with the bride required to personally make cheesecakes for the groom’s relatives and friends—thus also becoming a sweet and romantic symbol of love.

　　 Delicious and delightful, how can you possibly resist such double temptation? Three, two, one—let’s go and hunt down the most mouthwatering cheesecakes across the city right now!

　　 Cheesecake (or cheese cake), as many people absolutely love. And the people of Macau—and visitors to Macau—are especially lucky, because the cheesecake at Mandarin Oriental, Macau, is incredibly delicious. Of course, there are also many other types of desserts you absolutely must not miss.

　　 Recommended desserts:

　　 Almond tuile / Mandarin Oriental Cheesecake / Strawberry Napoleon cake / Rich Chocolate Cake / Homemade Chocolate and Cookies

　　 Cheesecake and Strawberry Cake

　　 The cheesecake is rich yet not overly heavy, the cheese flavor isn’t too tangy, and the texture is somewhere between a light Japanese-style cheesecake and a dense American-style one—even those who don’t usually like cheesecake should find its taste agreeable.

　　 The strawberries in the strawberry cake are fresh, juicy, and not mushy. Their slightly tart flavor pairs perfectly with the not-too-sweet cream filling below. The rich cream is not cloying, the crust is delightfully crisp, and it’s filled with crushed nuts for added aroma.

　　 I really love the texture of the crust and the taste of the cream filling.
