Why Cheesecake?

If i could, I would. That is, to marry a man who knows how to bake cheesecakes.

The wonderful part of a cheesecake, is that you can eat it alone with a glass of white wine, or have it as a dessert after a satisfying meal - to make the meal MORE satisfying.

Fish & Co @ Ion Orchard















One day, my friends and I went to Ion Orchard, in desperate search of food! And finally we settled on FISH & CO! And it's been a long while since i've had my dose of cheesecake :(















And i saw this: STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI COLOSSAL - Rich and creamy new york style cheesecake swirled with pureed fresh strawberries and a hint of lime juice all nestled in a graham cracker crust.

Sounds inviting, since there wasn't any other cheesecakes around! And I understand the limited variety due to the fact that F&C prides itself in selling fish and other seafood, not desserts :)















Being in the "pink-ish" mood, I ordered a glass of Pink Passion ($5.50) as well! Pink pink~ The drink didn't taste as sweet as it looked, though.

Service

Service was great!

The waitress who tended to our table very politely introduced herself and very nicely informed us to get her when we need her. And she did all these with a BIG SMILE! So hard to find in Stingy-pore~

One important thing to mention, was when my cup of Pink Passion slipped out my hands and suddenly we see pink liquid everywhere on the table! Before I could look up and ask for assistance, i saw one (out of the 3 female waitresses) getting serviettes and a plate to help "scoop" up the drink before it leaked anywhere else besides my poor friend's jeans. Very efficient, given that there were quite a number of tables occupied! Soon the supervisor came over and helped clean up the mess and very naturally offered to get me a new PP!! How nice!! Two thumbs up instead of one!!

Cheesecake Taste and Texture















And let's look at the cheesecake itself.

For a restaurant serving seafood platters and fish&chips, their effort in producing a Strawberry Cheesecake is commendable!

On the first bite, there's the familiar texture of a normal new york cheesecake, on the thick side and quite smooth! Soon the tongue starts to get hit by the tangy taste of how strawberry and lime complements each other.... It's sour but not the type that makes you cringe. It's a sour-sweet feeling :D

So there were bits and pieces of strawberries..... But not as much as what they depicted on the menu :( I happen to like strawberries!!

Oh and the graham cracker crust. Absolutely my favourite part of the cheesecake or any cake that has a crust :) Might be considered insufficient for someone as greedy as me!

Price















$6.95 for a cheesecake like this? I say Nay. Sorry, but NAY. What's more for me to say??
I have not even included GST and service charges!! Well the service was worth it :D

Conclusion for the Strawberry Daiquiri Colossal

CHEESECAKE

I'll only come back for this cheesecake when I feel rich and EASILY satisfied.
