Sweet Secrets Bakery Shop (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

My quest for some of the best cheesecakes in town continues this afternoon in Noho with Sweet Secrets Bakery as my first destination. Opened in 1999, Sweet Secrets is considered by some as the best place for a slice of cheesecake in the city. The small bakery shop on Graham Street is also one of the first to offer vegan gluten-free and other healthy (using alternatives for egg, sugar etc.) options for cakes and desserts.



Apart from their cakes which they are very good at, Sweet Secrets also offer a small selection of cupcakes and cookies that are just perfect for parties and gatherings.



But make no mistake about it, my mission is to check out their cheesecakes and I did just that.

Secret-O Cheesecake ($48) - Mission accomplished! This is the best seller thanks to their secret recipe. The rich New York-style cheesecake comes with a layer of chilled mango cream cheese and served on a chocolate biscuit (Oreo-like) base.

That was pretty yummy! I wish the proportion of mango cream cheese and cheesecake could be reversed (I could definitely live with less mango cream cheese and more New York cheesecake!) but it was totally worth making a special trip for.
