Love Me Sweet - Scarborough Town Centre

Apparently Japanese cheesecakes are still in demand.  No more hour long lineups at Mr Tetsu on Bay St., but I did hear somewhat recently lineups can still be found at Mr Tetsu in Unionville.  So if you don't want to wait in line, an alternative is Love Me Sweet.  This particular location I visited was inside Scarborough Town Centre.  No lineup at all, not sure if it was because it was still early in the morning, or that because there's so many Japanese cheesecake options, the demand has been spread thinner.

Now on to Love Me Sweet's cheesecake.  Taste wise, tastes good, just like any other Japanese cheesecake.  Slight tang from the cream cheese, light and fluffy and not too sweet.  Texture wise, it almost seemed like there were two layers in the cake.  Majority of the cake had the same moist texture, but the top centimetre of the cake I found to be dry.

Uncle Tetsu

Uncle Tetsu is all the rage right now.  To get your hands on one of these fluffy Japanese cheesecakes means you would have had to line up for 2 or more hours.  Luckily for me, I didn't have to.  My food boyfriend (my husband gave him that name), went to pick one up and shared a slice with me.  I guess because he went within the first couple of days of opening (before the news broke that Uncle Tetsu has arrived), he only had to wait for about an hour.

The Japanese cheesecake is almost a 180 from the more well known New York styled cheesecake.  Where the New York is heavy and dense, the Japanese is light and fluffy.  It's similar to very a very smooth, more moist angel food cake, with a slight tang of cream cheese.  Very good, but I don't think I would wait 2 hours in line for it.  I'm sure i'll buy another one, one day....only if the line ups die down.  The honey cake, theres another name for it, but I forgot.  This one I didn't like so much.  Good honey flavour, but too dry in my opinion.  Dry to the point of it being crumbly.
