| - My husband and I waited for a total of 2 hours on the second day of opening. The lady who was explaining the wait time to us (probably the manager), said that this cheesecake shop is double the size of the shops in Asia. They can only bake 12 cakes at a time @ 45 minutes, and they don't always come out perfect. The imperfect ones are not sold to customers, so they definitely have a good high standard. For a fact, we witnessed them withholding two batches of imperfect Madeleines, and we waited an extra 20 minutes before we got our cheesecake and Madeleines.
We were so excited to try it once we got home, it was still so warm! It tasted amazing like a cheesecake soufflé, airy and light. You get a build up of cream cheese goodness, but definitely not overly sweet like your traditional cheesecake. A person can easily indulge and devour an entire 6" cake by themselves while fresh!
As for the Madeleine's, they were good and you can taste the butter and honey. Personally, I prefer the traditional French style version of it.
The cake is definitely worth the wait if you love the idea of cheesecake + soufflé, all in one!
