When you say cheesecake, the first thing that usually comes to my mind is that sweet, rich and creamy New York-style cheesecake. When I was a kid, and when I first tasted it, I thought it was the only kind of cheesecake we have. I felt a bit enliven having eaten even a portion of it for it was a bit too pricey back then.
That misconception have eventually change when I was introduced to the many other cheesecake version we have. Pastry chefs nowadays have their own interpretation on how to make their cheese cake different and stand out. And my preference of knowing which taste better also change.
One of my recent favorite is the famous cheesecake from Japan. I find it balanced with the right amount of sweetness and saltiness. I just felt that its taste are just perfect for a cup of coffee (which i’m a fan of). I never been to Japan, but I just fancy anything coming from that country. You might probably think if I haven’t been to Japan where would I probably tasted it?
Well, three days ago, I’ve visited the Cheesecake Festival located at SM North EDSA – the block, and there I discovered Uncle Tetsu’s Sweet shop. 
Uncle Tetsu is a famous cheesecake house in Japan owned by a very accomplished pastry chef Mr. Tetsushi Mizokami. His vast knowledge of pastries allowed him to create more than just cheesecakes. His equally delectable Signature Cheese Tart is also a hit. Uncle Tetsu Signature Cheese Tart is a delicately baked pastry made of a creamy and cheesy filling combined with a flaky pie crust. Here’s how Uncle Tetsu looks like at SM North-the block; 
The new Uncle Tetsu Signature Cheese Tarts is only Php 275 for a 15.5 cm diameter treat. It will also have its mini version for only Php 49. Save more if you purchase four mini.cheese tarts for only Php180.

It has a layer of OREO under its cheesy and creamy filling. It is a bit sweeter than the signature cheese tart. I actually love the mix! Uncle Tetsu Cheese Tart baked with OREO is priced at Php 325. 
I can’t wait to visit Cheesecake Festival once again. Good thing i’m near the area. Uncle Tetsu will be there from August 3 to 30. You can also visit Uncle Tetsu’s kiosks in SM Megamall, SM mall of Asia, SM City Fairview, SM City San Lazaro, The Podium, and Alabang Town Center.
