| - Personally, the Pablo cheese tart just wasn't my thing. First things first though: keep in mind that this is a cheese tart, and is different from a Japanese cheesecake. Therefore, don't expect it to be similar at all to Uncle Tetsu's, because the two products are completely different.
As other reviewers have pointed out, the texture of the cheese tart is really... interesting. It's not like liquid cheese oozing out, but it's also not completely solid. Rather, it's somewhere in between, and personally I found it a bit off-putting. I had one slice when I got home, which was still slightly warm. I did like the flavour of the tart, which was lightly cheesy. I did have another slice (cold) the next morning though, and found the taste of the cheese had significantly diminished.
I have had mini cheese tarts before in Hong Kong and really enjoyed them, so I think part of the problem is with the large size of the tarts here, as it creates an uneven ratio of tart-to-filling and also affects the texture of the tarts. Pablo is coming out with mini tarts soon, so I am looking forward to trying those. I wouldn't get the large tarts again though, and wouldn't recommend waiting more than 20-30 mins for one, although they are cool to try once. It's nice that they have a small seating area inside so you could ideally eat your tart (or they sell single slices too) right away.
