Best Cheesecakes in Penang

Uncle Tetsu has recently hit Malaysian stores with cheesecakes unlike any other. The obvious presence of eggs is what makes Uncle Tetsu's cake perfumes in aroma when it's baked. Rather than being extremely creamy and dense, it's soft, airy and light. Having said that, one or two slice of this heavenly goodness is usually enough and satisfying  for most people!

Above everything else, the classic lemon cheesecake shines the most. The cake is quite heavy and dense but that's where the lemon comes in. It helps to cut through the creaminess by providing a sour note. It's incredibly well balanced, yummy and refreshing!

Crossroads Cheesecakes is an online store offers custom-made cakes ideal for birthday celebration or any occasion. Their 1.2kg Malaysian Treasure cheesecake is one the signature cakes that you should try! The cheese is infused with coconut milk and laid upon a coconut-cracker base before topped with gula melaka and crispy dessicated coconut shavings. A delicious local flavour indeed!

As you would have expected Mangoes Cafe is an expert in mango cheesecake. This delight looks quite simple, but it's jam-packed with strong mango flavour. Also, the jelly-like layer on top, which hosts most of its flavour, adds a nice texture and taste to the cake!

Moody Cow Cafe isn't your ordinary place for cheesecakes. In fact, they're known as the cheesecake experts in the island of Penang because of their experimentation with different flavour and ingredients, like the creation of jackfruit cheesecake, and salted-egg yolk cheesecake during the mid-autumn festival. Have a go on any unique cheesecake that interests you!

The Alley Cafe is also a great place for uniquely crafted cheesecakes. The most popular one is quite an odd piece - the orange strawberry cheeesecake with marshmallow. It's in bright orange (no surprise about that) with well balanced flavour of mild orange taste with a strong essence of strawberry. It really is a must-try!
