BAKE Cheese Tart – Grand Indonesia, Jakarta

Calling all Japanese cheese tarts lovers! Finally, our favorite brand BAKE Cheese Tart from Hokkaido, Japan is opening its first outlet here in Jakarta, Indonesia this week, YAY! We were so ecstatic to be invited to the preview and tasting event last week in Publik Markette, Grand Indonesia and can’t wait to share with all of you.

Short introduction just in case you didn’t know, BAKE Cheese Tart comes originally from Hokkaido, Japan and is actually a freshly baked cheese tart specialty store. Since the opening of first outlet in Shinjuku, Tokyo in February 2014; BAKE Cheese Tart has successfully spread its wings all over Japan, and later expanded its business worldwide including Hong Kong, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Shanghai. This outlet in Indonesia will be their 41st outlet and honestly I just want to say thank you for finally opening a store here in my country! *tears* 😉

Personally, I am never really a fan of cheese tart but it’s safe to say I fell in love to BAKE cheese tarts from the first bite. It became a mandatory thing to buy whenever I travel to Singapore or Thailand as they already have BAKE outlets in different locations.

Using Hokkaido rich and fresh cheese and milk, carefully made in Hokkaido factory by craftsmen, then sent directly from Hokkaido straight to shops worldwide, they will make sure you’ll get the perfect taste when you buy them in nearest outlets.

The special introduction for BAKE Cheese Tart gathering that day was brought by Raymond Umbara (the President Director of PT Bakeri Keju Indonesia) and Yoshihisa Haruyama (Overseas Business Division Executive Officer BAKE Cheese Tart Japan) giving us better information about the brand and product. It’s very heart-warming to hear that to achieve their goal to provide customers with best cheese tarts, BAKE Cheese Tart specializes in only ONE product (the cheese tarts) so they can keep focused into perfecting these tarts.

What are BAKE cheese tarts?

BAKE cheese tarts are made up of 2 main components: the cheese mousse filling and crispy tart crust. The cheese mousse filling has this smooth and fluffy texture, made using 4 kinds of cheese (3 from Hokkaido & 1 from France). The cheese mousse is creamy yet light with perfect saltiness that will blow your minds away! The crispy tart crust use BAKE’s secret original blend flour and “double-bake” baking method. Each crust is baked once as cookies and baked one more time after the cheese mousse is added to give it crispier texture.
