Halloween

Today is trick or treat day~
i never really noticed the exact date of halloween till i started working and got the chance to go to New York and saw the elaborately decorated cakes that were made during Halloween. It is indeed eye candy and i would prefer to stop at that. I dont really fancy such creamy topping on my cake. My perfect creamy indulgence would definitely be a super creamy and rich cheesecake. So this halloween, i am reminded of my first taste of American cheesecake. We used to put up at a hotel near the Grand Central station, and so i ate at the Grand Central Terminal pretty often. My first taste of New York cheesecake was from Little Pie Co, which had an outlet at the Terminal food court and i must say it was one of the best cheesecakes i had ever tasted.

I decided to bake cheesecake with a chocolate brownie base because i was craving both cheesecake and brownie...

Super creamy cheesecake with coffee granola topping (a bit like an upside down cheesecake with the crunchy biscuity texture on top)

Halloween Dinner

When i think of my American trips, i am reminded of burgers. So i decided to make Washi(Japanese style) burger for dinner. And to add to the halloween mood, i made pumpkin miso milk soup. Salad was brocolli with curry mayonaise dressing.
