Very yummy tofu cheesecake
Many of my friends like to visit Sun with Moon at Wheelock Place.
Considering how much I like Japanese food, even I'm surprised I've never been to this place.
Well, I finally made it there for dinner with a group of girlfriends last Wednesday.
To be honest, having heard all about this place, I thought the food was just "so-so". It wasn't bad but it wasn't great.. I had sushi with a salmon cheek soup and my friends ordered teppanyaki. The food was really quite forgettable.
The desserts, however, made the day.
We ordered a tofu cheesecake and a green tea parfait to share.
The tofu cheesecake was very good. It came in a very dainty looking bird's cage which made me think that they had to dress up the cake because it wasn't very good. I was so glad to be wrong. It was really quite good - the texture was very much like that of a piece of good tofu and it was a very light, not-to-sweet piece of cheesecake with a salty biscuit base I really liked. (It reminded me of this recipe from Kitchen M, which I've always wanted to try..)
The green tea parfait was really good as well. Unfortunately, I completely forgot to take a photo of it! Well, never mind.. This means I have a very good excuse to visit this place for the green tea parfait again. Next time, I won't share the parfait with anyone.. Hah! (You can find a picture of the parfait from this blog post)
It was delicious, with layers of everything I like. It had starts with some good green tea ice-cream, red bean and chestnut, followed by layers of mochi, green tea jelly, green tea cake and cornflakes right at the bottom.
The desserts left me with an overall positive experience at Sun with Moon. I wouldn't go back for the mains, but I'd definitely be back for the desserts.
If you are thinking of visiting though, be sure to call and make a reservation. We were there on a Wednesday night and they were packed. Hm.. I wonder if everyone else is also there for the desserts..

ah, I have been to Sun with Moon for at least 2 years. I've been to the wheelock outlet, CHIJMES (is it still there?) and Central. I personally thought CHIJMES's outlet was the best. But as you said, the food was not bad but it didnt rock my world. I couldn't remember the dessert tho! Guess it's time to revisit. ;)
Oh... I didnt even know they have more than 1 outlet! LOL. Ya, the food wasn't that fantastic.. but the desserts sure are! Go try it!
