Conlins Cafe: My new Cheesecake Haven

Look at the time, it is already 11:25PM. I should be getting to sleep now, however, I cannot just keep to myself the best cheesecakes I had so far.

This is a continuation of the meal I had in Almon Marina. I like their dishes, but their desserts does not meet my expectations.

A good friend of mine asked me, “What is with you and cheesecakes?”. I promptly answered, “It is cheesecake! Cheescakes need no reasons –Leon Carbonell”

There is this newly opened cafe in SM Southmall which caught my eye. They had an assortment of cakes which looks mouthwatering. I remember last valentines, I decided to bring home a cake for valentines to share with my family. I do remember buying their Black Forest Cake. I wanted to create a blog for that cake. During that time, I was still undecided on what blog provider to accommodate my blogging need. Unfortunately, weeks later, the memories of that cake has gone. Not even the memory of the after taste.

Well, I decided to take a visit at their shop and give a re-assessment of their cafe. I looked at their cake collection. t seems that they have a discount. Their cakes were 50% off. Before, a slice of their cheesecake costs P60 pesos, now, they have it for only P30. Talk about the “kaching” moments. My eyes turned to Dollar signs because I will save a lot of money for cheesecakes. All of their cakes are at 50% discount. I am now stuck at the dilemma, Strawberry or Blueberry? Since it is already a bargain for P60, i decided to buy both.

Let me just say. It was all worth it. Let us explore the senses as we go through the details of these cheesecakes. Keep in mind that these cakes were bought for only P30 each. Look carefully at the presentation of the cheesecake. The cheesecakes sits in the middle of the plate. The plate is decorated with chocolate and strawberry syrup. Just imagine how much effort they have given to heighten up our sense of sight. The cheese of the cake contains bits and pieces of the fruit they represent. The picture on you right shows signs of the blueberry being embedded within the cheesecake. The topping contains real blueberry and blueberry Jam. The Jam was not sugary sweet. In fact, it really does taste like blueberry. Same goes for the strawberry cheesecake. One bite was all it took to get me to my very own Nirvana. Such joy to feel the goodness of the cheesecake.

There was no side crust for this cheesecake. For me, that is a big plus. If eaten separately from the cheesecake, the crusts tastes more of a brownie cookie rather than a cheesecake crust.

Looking back, It makes me want to say, “A hell-of-a-lotta effort for a P30 cheesecake”. My new mission: Try out all of the cakes in Conlins cafe.
