Queic by Olivia

For a more classic number, the Basque Burnt Cheesecake ($11) was exactly as expected. A more than decent and the dictionary definition of the iconic bake; think mousse-like creamy inside with a dark caramelized surface. Their rendition is not too “burnt” and I enjoyed the level of sweetness as well as the slightly smoky flavour.

I introduced Queic by Olivia to my brother recently and now I am his errand girl so he can get his cheesecake fix.

I am not that fond of cheesecakes but I have to admit, Olivia’s Signature Cheesecake is unique and deliciously savoury (rip to my wallet). Cheese lovers will definitely love this molten rendition in my opinion despite its stark difference from New York Cheesecake and Basque Burnt Cheesecakes.

Starting with the sliced Olivia's Signature Cheesecake ($16.40), which I think is best eaten there, the ratio of ooey-gooey filling to crumbly almond sablé seems to be the best with more cheese to crust. The velvety cream cheese and blue cheese combo were pleasantly salty with a gentle piquant aftertaste (no overly funky, scary, in-your-face blue cheese flavour). Similarly, the 4-inch tart was yummy with its melty, lava-like centre. It was a little sweeter in my opinion as there was a little more crust but it certainly travelled better.

The blue cheese layer is strong, it tastes a lot like Roquefort. Then there's the milk chocolate exterior escapsulating rather mild cream

Again it's more experimental than anything you really will naturally love. Without the blue cheese piece it's really just a mildly salty hardly sweet cheese cream which wasn't too special honestly, but again the jam worked well

It's a strawberry jam and it's sweeter than the overly tart nonsense I had the first time around, no wonder it pairs much better

Overall it's alright, but too ex

This was intense. It's just basically cheese cream inside, and again it's hardly a dessert. There's barely any sweetness, just intense funk without much body. The rather light, creamy texture was a joy, and then the brilliance of the jam shows. I hated the jam before but its sharpness counters the funk perfectly and creates a lovely overall dish. On top of the strong funk, there's a bit of sourness

Worth a try if you have money to throw.

This ain't some highbrow creation. This is really basic yet really good, the apple jam layer was pleasant and it combined well w the mild cheese, and the cereal? crust was absolutely lovely

Recommended, if you've tried their signatures already
