I don't get it. I heard so much about it, went and got some, shared it with 6 people. ALL SIX OF US said we'd never eat it again. I didn't say BUY it again. Given the calories I allow myself to eat as treats, I can't see why I'd ever spend one calorie on this stuff.
It's largely flavourless but tastes slightly like egg. There is no cheese to speak of. I've had Japanese cheesecake before and I understand that they're not nearly as heavy as north american cheesecake but this was not even the flavour profile of the other Japanese cheesecakes I've had. It was lighter and more eggy.
If you like egg buns, I say go for it. But of the six ppl I shared with, 2 of whom are in a teenage "Asian culture fascination" mode, all 6 said hands down they wouldn't eat it again. We actually didn't finish the two pieces of cake we bought between the 6 of us.
Unfathomable that this is highly reviewed and spoken of. Dastardly. Coming from Montreal, I can only say "ONLY IN TORONTO" - more hype, less substance. Once again.
