My whole family likes to eat bread and cake. This day we had a bread and cake treat and all of which was cheese theme for our lunch.
According to the packing label, Maxim’s Soft Cheese Cake ($35) used Australian cream cheese to made (large oval one. Texture like Japanese cheese cake). The texture was fine, soft and moist. It is so moist that I could hear “z” sounds when the knife cutting through the cake but was not too moist. Both sweetness and milky flavour were subtle. Yes, the cheese cake was milky rather than cheesey. You can try it but don’t expect too much. I would prefer the one sold in Breadtalk which was really quite cheesey.
A bag of cheese bread ($12) containing 3 pieces of thick layer of bread and 1 thin layer of bread boundary. Large and small cubes of Cheddar cheese were inside the bread which was fine and very soft. There were few baked cheese on top to give a roast cheese aromatic kick. Though the bread was quite salty but the taste was quite attractive. Cheese fanatic should not miss .
As plain bread has high GI value which is not good for health. Therefore, brown rice and cheese bread ($15) is a good alternative for cheese bread. The whole bread in oval was cut into around 8 pieces. The beginning and the end of the two pieces of bread, total 4 pieces of breads had no cheese at all ! For others, only one cubes of cheese bread was in each piece of bread. I think it is not a good way to place cheese into the bread in terms of flavour as a whole. The previous mentioned cheese bread was better in cheesey taste than this one.
Chestnut Twist Bun ($17) was much less calories than Chestnut tart or cakes but can still fulfill the desire of eating chestnut treats. Though there was not much chestnut puree, it was quite chestnut-y. So, I thought there was artificial chestnut flavouring. If not counting artificial flavouring, it was also a good choice.
As a whole, the cheese theme of this lunch was alright this times. Just a bit disappointed at the cheese cake perhaps because I ate the cheese cake of Breadtalk before and the expectation the taste of Maxim’s will be the same.
