| - After my early exam on a rainy day, I decided to check out Uncle Tetsu's in hopes that there wasn't going to be any line up because it was about 10-11AM on a Thursday morning. Uncle Tetsu's was relatively close by, so it wasn't too far of a trek. It was raining pretty hard that day too, and there was no line up! I was a happy girl.
With chalkboard signs at the entrance, it's not hard to miss their store information! Though it is hard to wash off previously written stuff sometimes. The store itself is pretty small for customers to lounge around as half the space had been taken by up machines to make these desserts. It was more of a get-in, get-out type of restaurant.
They had samples of their rusk cookie, and it was more of a hard textured cookie rather than soft... Not my cup of tea. I prefer soft and chewy type of cookies.
They usually limit one cheesecake per person because of their stock and long lineups, but since there was no one behind me, I was able to grab more than one. Service was quick and fast as the cakes were already pre-boxed beforehand. I also managed to go to the Matcha Cafe next door too!
So...!! My purchases after this entire cheesecake run...
-- The madeleines were buy 3, get 1 free - which I took an advantage of! I didn't get the chance to eat the madeleine because it was all gone by then ): !! My dad mentioned that it was good though, very flavourful.
-- Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake were indeed fluffy as well (it's a Japanese cheesecake thing I guess). Although the pieces are more starchy(?) and of a heavier cheese flavour. Making me feel like I've just had a heavy meal, heavy in terms of stuff like very rich in carbs or fatty foods, like burgers or pasta. But I meant more on the "rich" side, so more of the feeling after you eat pasta.
No doubt that Uncle Tetsu was the first in the Japanese cheesecake game, assuring the fluffiness of the cakes and consistency of the branding everywhere. Even though the regular cheesecake broke more than the matcha cheesecake, both have the same sticky texture when you put your fork in it and when you eat it - it lingers in your mouth longer because of the texture.
