Grub Burger Bistro
Did you know Grub was voted as the No.1 Burnt cheesecake on Straits Times? The burnt cheesecake is highly reviewed by many, who state that it is extremely value for money ($9++ per slice for dine in or $10.50 nett online.
Grub’s chef owner experimented several times, before releasing its final version - the one it is selling now. He made sure the cheesecake is light and creamy, and has a smokiness that can cut through the richness.
If you are looking to buy for a party or gathering, they even sell 11-inch size cakes which are around 2kg. At an affordable price tag of $80, you can ensure your guests will enjoy the sweet treat.
