Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart – Buy With Caution

Baked cheese tart war has started in Malaysia, and Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart is one of the contenders in the market.

Hello,  you sexy-yellow tarts

Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tarts branches are too far from home, and I found no reason to specifically make a visit. I finally did few days ago. I bought baked cheese tarts from their Empire Subang branch, for a newborn baby-visiting occasion within their vicinity. Even though there were no queues when I was there, they do enjoy brisk business.

RM 29 for half a dozen (Buy 5 Free 1 promotion) cheese tart, or RM5.80 per piece, is wallet-friendly versus Tokyo Secret at RM 8.90 per piece. Read here if you missed my earlier blog post on Tokyo Secret.

The Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart is F R A G I L E, not only in terms of the tart itself, but also the packaging. Carrying my purchase on the handle, it never crossed my mind that the handle will break .. it is NOT strong enough to support the weight of 6 pieces of cheese tarts! Like wtf, did they NOT do a weight test?

The whole box dropped on the floor, when I was walking towards my car at Empire’s parking. I was rendered utterly speechless!

Was it nice? I think I was too bothered by the broken pieces, to truly enjoy the cheese tart. Well, perhaps the tarts do taste nice, but too bad that the earth did not shatter, but my poor tarts did. But, really, sarcasm aside, my heart is still with BAKE cheese tart, available in Bangkok, Thailand.

WARNING: If you want to try Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart, carry the box with great caution.

Not Your Typical Tourist

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
