September has come and gone (here in the Philippines at least but it is still September in the US as of this posting.) First of all, there are a few things to be thankful for the month of September. As I have mentioned a couple of days ago I just reached the big 4.0 and September also marks the first year of my blog. Time does fly so fast.
Some of my favorite posts where my take on the best blueberry cheesecake I have ever tasted. (See
For the Love of....Cheesecake! and
"Unboxing" a Becky's Kitchen Blueberry Cheesecake.) Since then I have been on a look out for places that offered blueberry cheesecake as well as revisited some old favorites.
This one is from Yakimix. Like every buffet the serving of the cakes are bite sized so this one is just a teaser. The cheesecake is more on the sweet side and the graham crust is too thin.
This came from my favorite Italian restaurant Italianni's. As you can see I tasted it first before I can even take a picture :) Well even though this is one my favorite places the cheesecake was a little bit of a let down. This is the same cheesecake base as their sister resto FlapJacks but as you can see there is no real blueberries in it but just syrup. The serving size is a bit big and it would take two to three persons to finish it.
This hefty piece is from Bob's a famous cafe in Bacolod. This cheesecake is screaming CHEEEEESE! And is a bit on the salty side. Also the crust is not made of graham crackers and a bit nutty . Bob's now has a branch in Makati along Dela Rosa St.
This one is from Market on the 5th at St Luke's Medical Center. It is on the sweet side but it was quite OK. A bit expensive though for the serving size. I think I was paying part of the hospital with it :) And I didn't come there for a check up either.
But if you are looking for value for money as well as being yummy then try out these mini blueberry cheesecakes from House of Silvanas
I was very careful with it because I thought that the cheesecake base might be too soft but lo and behold the base is more cake than mouse.
There is even an ample graham crust. But the only one let down on this version is that there are no whole blueberries on the topping.
And since it is my birthday month what would be more fitting than to have one whole box of Becky's Kitchen Blueberry Cheesecake for my birthday.
This is truly a little piece of heaven here on earth :-D
Happy Birthday Executive Lunch!
