our cheesecake making session

after ivy's godly inspiring post, i'm going to talk about food. :)

did you know?
cheesecake is believed to have originated from ancient Greece. First recorded mention of cheese cake was in 776 BC as being served to athletes during the first Olympic Games.

(in case you think i'm very free to go find this nonsense thing, i am doing a presentation on cheese for my communications module)

hehe..ok.. back to our famous cheesecake: (not exaggerating)

see the unprofessional apparatus? hehe...no mixing bowl, no whisk, messy fingers...eh, i never knew cheesecake was so finger-licking good..(winks at ivy)

did the base taste a little salty? hehe...some sweat went into it. weizi's happy grinding the digestives

arms were strengthened, muscles were bulging, hands were oily and hurting, and mouth was eating :P ivy was our no.1 mixer. no whisk! got 2 forks and strong arms! hehe

can you believe how smooth it is??!! 4 packets of philadelphia cheese!!

voila! it looks so good. although (teehee) we were watching gilmore girls and left it to turn brown in the oven. doesn't the centre look like chocolate filling? waijin! you missed it! :<

ivy said there are too many pics of her. we're so happy with our first ever baked cheesecake! (though ivy has had experience in chilled cheesecake)

haha! the middle sank in. science..

let's hear some critics' reviews:

"of all the cheesecakes i've ever tasted, this is the best" - Debbie Hong

"would you think of opening your own bakery?" - Uncle Roy

"this tastes even better than ___ bakery" - Margaret Lai

oh, Fuiyen mentioned she used this recipe to win Melvin's heart.. :)
