Mad Mike Review: Japanese Pastry --- Cheescake (チーズケーキ)

 

Everybody Loves Cheescake

 

 

 

For my first full day of being almost toothless, I decided to try something new.

Last night's dinner of Corned Beef Hash and smashed Pork and Beans was alright.

Feeling like splurging a little, I flip-flopped down to a convenience store.

That's when I spotted some cheesecake and decided to do this review.


slices of two different cheesecakes made in Japan



Walking back to the office, I noticed a fancy pastry store was open.

What luck.  Wouldn't it be nice to do a comparison ?

Hell, yeah !  I love cheesecake.  Too bad I couldn't find a dozen cheesecakes to do for you.

The Connoisseur Decision Has Been Made

 

Whoever baked these things and named them Cheescake should be locked-up.

What happened to the CHEESE ?

Maybe, in Japan, all you have to do is throw some over your shoulder while it's baking !

They looked and tasted like Pound cake. Not bad.


Lotte vanilla ice cream



The real winner, wasn't either of the cakes.

The Lotte Vanilla ice cream, obviously, had some quantities of milk products in it.

Ice cream wins.

So, I won't be sending the law after those people.

Problems have been noted in Japan's restaurants concerning Food Fraud.

Something tells me, they need to look at bakeries, too.

NOTE: If you have a cheesecake you would like to have reviewed, contact me via my website.

The two above, get a zero so, I won't mention the business names.

A Free Movie on You Tube ! What Will They Think of Next ?

This Could Be Legitimate I Suppose

 

Here's something you won't catch me doing often.  I watched a movie on my computer.

A little typhoon, soaked me twice in the last 24 hours so, I decided to stay close to home today.

Out behind my office, I have a small back porch.

And, I was conducting some tests on a lens I'll be doing a Mad Mike Review on.

It has already been used in some bars, on beaches, flowers and wildlife.

But, I need to play with it awhile longer to give everyone an accurate assessment.

    Adjusting the aperture settings to show the difference in background was what I did here.


Snails, gardens, red tiles, all became subjects, besides these banana leaves.


Processing my photos on one computer, I made the mistake of checking the morning mail.


Somebody had a link on Facebook to Hachiko: The Most Faithful Dog in Japan.



A Whole Hour and a Half Free Movie on You Tube !

 

 

Not a real big fan of TV, movies or, that character Richard Gere, I sorta watched.

See, I was running in and out, whenever it stopped raining smoke and take more photos. 

That Richard guy stinks in the movie but, the dogs were great actors.

I almost fell out of my chair, laughing when he got sprayed by a skunk.  What a dummy !

Between doing business and goofing-off, watching the movie, I missed him dying.

If you like dogs, this movie could bring tears to your eyes.

If you like Richard Gere, don't cry.  He was just supposed to be acting. 


There's no telling how long this will last but, the free movie is here:
