Being a huge green tea fan, I was tempted to try out one of the new cakes that Starbucks has introduced recently - Red Bean Green Tea Cheesecake. The contradicting point here is that I dislike cheesecake. But for green tea, I'm willing to give in everything. I plucked out my courage and ordered the slightly pricey Red Bean Green Tea Cheesecake at $6.50. I was anticipating burst of strong green tea flavour, but when I took my first bite I was very disappointed. There isn't any green tea flavour
But for green tea, I'm willing to give in everything. I plucked out my courage and ordered the slightly pricey Red Bean Green Tea Cheesecake at $6.50. I was anticipating burst of strong green tea flavour, but when I took my first bite I was very disappointed. There isn't any green tea flavour at all. All I could taste was the sweet flavour which came from the red beans. The cheesecake isn't really cheesecake after all. Between the layers of supposedly cheese cakes, lies a layer of sponge cake. This may be the only point which benefits me since I dislike cheesecake. But then again, why is it called cheesecake when it doesn't taste like cheesecake?
The cakes may appear delicious, but they are after all appearances.
