Getting Cheesy

Cheese had never been a common item in my diet. My whole world of cheese used to consist of just cheddar cheese slices by Kraft. I never knew there were other forms of cheese. Then, from Pizza Hut, I learnt about Mozzarella. From spaghetti and pastas, I knew about Parmesan. On a Caesar's salad, I met the yucky Blue Cheese.

Still, being Asian, I could not appreciate why the Ang Mohs loved their cheeses so much. So much so that they have to put it on everything? In soups, salads, rice, pastas, burgers and sandwiches.

And to make a cake out of cheese? Is someone out of his mind?

Ah, you see, I had not had the real thing then...

Philadelphia cream cheese, whipped with yoghurt and eggs, baked on a crumply cracker crust and chilled to a dense creamery. Then from the great pie, you extract a humble slice, gently spooning into a corner of its firmness, lifting and letting the bits melt slowly in your mouth, swirling in a tangy flavor mixed with sweet indulgence.

Err, wait, what am I writing?

Anyway, I just baked a cheese cake today according to this recipe. It's now chilling out in the fridge and tomorrow, I shall have cheese cake and Teh Siu Dai for breakfast.
