Whether it's sourdough, sundried tomato buns, or flavoured cruffins, this homely bakery at Empress Road always nails it. So why wouldn't their Basque Burnt Cheesecake ($7.30) be delicious as well? Baked fresh daily with three types of cheeses, Burpple Ong says it "has a caramelised sweetness with a glorious gooey middle. Too good to resist but it's definitely worth the calories."
