Cheese Cake at Rikuro Daimaru Umeda, Osaka

You may have had cheese cakes. But it won’t be an understatement to say that this place is an experience more than a cheese cake shop. A long line will (most probably) greet you as soon as you enter the area. But I have never enjoyed waiting in line – you can see the staff preparing cheese cake while you are waiting. If you are a foodie and enjoy cooking food as well, oh boy! What a delight watching cheese cake preparation and baking. Eating it right out of the over has its own taste. This Cheese cake is extremely fluffy, smooth and very mildly sweet (in a good way). The bottom layer of the cake has raisins sprinkled on the outer circumference. Extremely yumm! If you’re ever in Osaka, Japan, do try this and thank me later!

The photos below were taken outside their transparent kitchen.

These are quite boring, and make you feel like you are forcing/punishing yourself on a so-called-healthy diet. In fact, I never felt full eating just these and thus, I mostly ate Indian vegetarian in office. Although, I craved for vegetarian/vegan food in other cuisines but most of my experiments led to horrible (got chicken instead of tofu at a famous Thai place) or tasteless disasters. However, restaurants in Central Business District (popularly knows as CBD) area in Singapore gave me a whole new penchant for salads. The best part about salads – you get Asian, European, Mexican, and probably 100 more varieties. Super filling, super tasty and you can get them vegetarian or vegan, as you like! I am going to share photos of some of the best salads I have had, and an easy recipe for you to try at home.
