We ask award-winning pastry chefs in Singapore to share their go-to spots for the silkiest cheesecakes
Cheesecake fanatics, as expected, demand nothing less than perfection when it comes to a slice of sweet and cheesy goodness. This magnificent mix of cream cheese, eggs and sugar results in a delicate dance between gentle tartness and and decadence. Whether it is the old-school New York classics or avant-garde interpretations, these cheesecakes are an irresistible treat. For a slice that melts like silk across your palate, we cornered Singapore’s top pastry chefs to uncover the island’s best cheesecakes, because life’s too short for mediocre desserts.

Jeanette Ow, director of pastry at Somma
“It has to be Olivia’s signature cheesecake. It is well balanced and oozes with creamy goodness. The rich, creamy centre is perfectly complemented by its crisp, caramelised top. The slight funk of blue cheese adds an unexpected but delightful depth of flavour to it. Lastly, the buttery and crumbly crust gives a lovely contrast to the creaminess.”

“My favourite cheesecake is the double fromage cheesecake from LeTao. It has my preferred level of sweetness, a creamy, soft texture, and rich flavour of Hokkaido cheese. This combination is simply irresistible.”

Soh Hui Shan, head pastry chef of Wakuda Singapore
“Without a doubt, Wakuda’s Basque cheesecake, and I’m not just saying this because I am the head pastry chef. I fell in love with the cheesecake from the now-defunct Platine Patisserie by Waku Ghin, where one could take away a whole cake back in the day. Today, it is served at Wakuda by the slice, making it the perfect way to end every meal. The texture is incredibly velvety, the flavour is light yet satisfying, and it is not overly rich.”

Kelly Cheah, pastry chef of Le Pristine Singapore
“Pantler’s cheesecake is lighter than a traditional New York-style cheesecake. I prefer something lighter, so that I can eat more of it. I appreciate that there is a biscuit layer at the base for added texture and flavour.”
