| - If you're a Filipino and know what a mamon is, the texture of their Japanese cheesecake reminds me of a really good mamon.
If you've not a Filipino and you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's like a sponge cake, that's airy, not fluffy, and has a smooth texture of cream cheese. I'd say it's like a hybrid between a Cheesecake and a sponge cake. I don't know if that makes any sense actually lol. It's good to try, just to try, but not something I'd line up for for two hours.
There's actually a twitter feed on their line up, /tetsulineup. Check it out if you're bored and maybe you can pick up a pattern as to what hours are their busiest.
You can only purchase one cake for yourself, so if your friends want a whole cake, they have to go through the line up adventure with you.
I went to the shop beside it and got this matcha red bean madeleines. It's like a yummy green tea cupcake.
The cost is $2.65 each, but if you get three, you get the forth one for free. My friend and I got 4, paid $9 in total and split it between the two of us.
The cheesecake is good, but I really don't know what that line up hype is all about. Maybe it's just something people get to remind them of a place they once have visited or lived in?
If you're with friends and want to kill some time, drop by and try it.
