The living room extension of late morning has been one place that had been occupying our social media feeds for a while — for those whom need a little bit of introduction to both concepts, late morning is a retail shop along South Bridge Road that brings in boutique tableware, cutlery and home decor from all across the world; living room is an extension of the same space that is tucked away at the back of the entire retail shop which operates as a cafe. More of a cosy nook with a limited seating area, living room does adopt the Japandi vibes from late morning that sees a seamless flow between both concepts. Given the space that living room occupies, it is noted that there are only light food options that are being listed in the food menu here; think a salad as well as open-faced sandwiches and a Basque Burnt Cheesecake for dessert — otherwise, beverages available at living room will include espresso-based specialty coffee, matcha, drinking chocolate and filter coffee; just to name a few.

The Basque Burnt Cheesecake is one of those items that had been mentioned quite a number of times on social media features on living room — whilst there is no description of the elements that goes into this dish on its menu, it can be observed from our order that the Basque Burnt Cheesecake served at living room does come accompanied with lemon curd, Himalayan pink salt and cracked pepper on the side. What really impressed us with the Basque Burnt Cheesecake at living room would be the consistency of the cheesecake itself; there is no doubt in how smooth the Basque Burnt Cheesecake was — creamy to the point in which it was almost molten, while the flavours of the cheesecake itself weren’t too heavy at the same time. Whilst having it together with the lemon curd does provide a zippy note that compliments the flavour profile of the cheesecake well and cuts through the inherent heaviness of a cheesecake, the use of salt and pepper does further intensify the notes of cream cheese that was used in the making of the Basque Burnt Cheesecake itself.
