During my previous shift at Medan, I managed to do well on my diet I decided to reward myself with a slice of Chicago Cheesecake from the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on my arrival to Jakarta. A slice of this beautiful baby costed me Rp45.000,00. A bit pricey, but I thought to myself, "You deserve this!".
My choice was between the Oreo Cheesecake or this Chicago Cheesecake. I asked recommendation from the barista and he told me to go with the Chicago, so I did. "The Oreo Cheesecake is, well, you know how it would tasted already, right? Sweet, cheesy, and full of Oreo goodness. But, the Chicago Cheesecake has some lemon zest in it, so it'll be a bit refreshing for the taste bud," he said. I took a spoonful of the cake and it lived up to the barista's reviews.
The cake is a bit heavy, sweet but not too sweet, and the citrus flavor managed to stand its' ground as a neutralizer. It took me a while to finish it, not because it was sickening, but because it tasted so good I don't want it to be over. Don't expect a fluffy cake because this cake is very compact. Loving the biscuit crumble on the bottom part of the cake so much I hoped there was more!
Oh, and the fact that we can smoke at this particular cafe adds some extra point on why you should stop by during your transit at Jakarta. You do have to buy something if you only want to smoke inside the cafe. My suggestion is: just go for the cake because the water costs you the same amount of money.
