I decided to bake a Manhattan cheesecake for the birthday babes and hunks in my office. Baking a Manhattan cheesecake requires tons of patience. This is liken to baking the kueh lapis except that the cheesecake has only 3 layers, it is still a painstaking process nonetheless! To bake a good Manhattan cheesecake, each layer has to be baked separately. Firstly, you have to lay the 'foundation' - the graham biscuit. Once the 'foundation' is laid, you can proceed to lay the cheese cream and finally top up with cream. There is nothing more rewarding than to know that my colleagues love the cheesecake - it was pure divine, to die for ... isn't too cheesy. My labour of love has not been in vain! One last piece for grab, hurry!
