Gloomy day sweetened with a home-made cheesecake...

I got a shock when I realised that it was 7.45am when I woke up this morning. Jeff told me last night that he would be coming over to my place to give me a SURPRISE before he fly off to Switzerland for yet another work trip. I called him and phew, he was still on his way. By 8am, Dear came and I saw this semi-transparent rectangular tupperware that he was holding, containing something that had 3 different coloured layers. “It’s Agar-Agar!”, I exclaimed. Dear smiled, I’m wrong. It’s cheesecake, one of my fav desserts! Looks good ya?



The top layer is agar-agar filled with peach fruits (so I’m not wrong totally :p), middle layer of course the cheese and the bottom layer is the crumbled digestive biscuits (very different from usual oreo ones ya).

I guess Jeff’s curiosity and love for cooking explains his superb culinary skills. He would constantly try out new recipes whenever he can. So far, he has tried cooking/making the following:
•Chinese food (i.e. fried rice, stir-fry veget – but that was a number of years ago.)
•Western food (His grilled lambchop is really really fantastic!! I could eat that for all my meals, if only he’s willing to do that..hehe)
•Italian (I love his mushroom carbonara spaghetti too.. but dear felt that Blooie’s Roadhouse serves better ones.)
•Appetizers and Salads (Really love his potato salads..could eat one big tub at a go. No wonder I’m getting fatter..)
•Fusion food (Around 2 mth back, Jeff made pancakes and added in smoked salmon with yogurt and fresh fruits – first time I tried such unique food!)


Ok, I digressed, back to today’s dessert – peach cheesecake. Yummilicious, good blend of the chewy agar agar with sweet peach and salty crispy digestive biscuits. The cheese tasted slightly different from usual, Dear said he added in too much cream. But overall, I would rate it 8/10. Really appreciate Dear’s efforts – He knows I will feel gloomy today with him flying off to Switzerland and this dessert is meant to cheer me up and last me till Sat (that’s when he will be returning). That’s such a sweet gesture ya? I’m touched once again.

Gonna 32 dear. Wish I could have gone with you and give you some comfort when air turbulence comes.
