Popular Japanese dessert brand Cheese Wonder opened a pop-up store in Hysan Place today. The store is offering its signature frozen “No-bake Cheese Cake” and “Double Cheese Cream Sandwich Cookie” from now until 14 July.

The “No-bake Cheese Cake” features an almond biscuit base topped with a double layer of no-bake cheese mouse and cheese soufflé, which is then frozen. Interestingly, it’s almost like three desserts in one – eaten frozen, it’s a bit like cheese ice-cream; semi-thawed, the ice-cream consistency is still there but the moose has more structure; completely thawed, the flavours and textures are more obvious.

“Double Cheese Cream Sandwich Cookie” (box of 6, $182) is a double layer of creamy Hokkaido mascarpone and cheddar cheese wrapped in an almond biscuit base. These are not as nice as No-bake Cheese Cake, there’s too much almond biscuit base and it overpowers the cheese fillings. 

The No-bake Cheese Cake (box of 6, $246) is imported fresh from Japan, and there are limited quantities each day. YaiChi founder Elmas Low suggests arriving before 2-3 pm to be certain… Alternatively, you can order online here and have them delivered directly to your home.
