Cheesecake by Dana Bella's Oven |
Hello, gorgeous...
My friend, Dexter, brought us in the heart of Pilar Village, Las Pinas to Dana Bella's Oven Sunday night. He promised a superb cheesecake and, boy, did he deliver. The cheesecake from Dana Bella's Oven, decked with slices of luscious ripe mango and kiwi, grapes, and a chunk of dragon fruit, is beautiful as it is delicious.
The cheesecake itself, a New York cheesecake, is the kind of cheesecake I am gunning for (you know- in my, ahem, quest for the perfect home-baked cheesecake)- light with just the right amount of richness, and delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and tang. The top skin of the cheesecake is caramel-colored and its body a nice creamy white hue. The bottom is classic graham cracker crust.
The cornucopia of fruits is a different story altogether. At first I thought they were just there for garnish, but once we started munching on them, I realized that they went surprisingly well with the cheesecake. The fruity addition added a certain dose of freshness to the dessert. It's a welcome change to the preserved or otherwise gelatinous state that fruits are usually in when they are found atop a cheesecake.
