Review of Taro Basque Cheesecake at Lilac Oak by xinru-t

Gluten-free cashew and tofu 'cheesecake' with a touch of cheese-like saltiness and a slightly sweet caramelised surface. Layered with creamy taro paste, which was quite unique and a homage to their popular taro tarts. 🧀🍠 This didn't resemble real basque burnt cheesecake very much, since there wasn't a soft oozy molten texture which I would consider the key point of the real deal, though it's understandable as I think it's challenging to achieve that texture with a vegan version! The separate layers also didn't seem to go particularly well together, with the taro paste somewhat overshadowing the taste of the 'cheesecake' itself. That said, it was a creative bake and I do think it has potential with some tweaks to the recipe~ 😌 New special in March 2024! ✨ ($8) #sgvegan #womenowned #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb #sgdessert #sgbakes #sgcakes #glutenfree
