I think it’s because they used to solely do only catering for parties and weddings and birthdays, etc. Up until now there wouldn’t be a reason or occasion for me to cross paths with Mr. & Mrs. Creamery.. Until Covid happened… Because big social gatherings are forced to be canceled and hence all the catering opportunities out the window… And now Mr. & Mrs. Creamery decide to expand their business to take out and individual orders.. (Only in that way is it open to the regular public).
Oh wait, so what are they known for?! What do they make!!!!! They make.. tofu cheesecake!!!!!! Gasp!! I never heard of this concept before so I was obsessed to try. I actually tried to drive there myself but couldn’t find it.. Even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to buy any.. You have to order first. They don’t actually have a shop because it was solely just a kitchen for catering.
Thank you to Anh from Dr. JoAnn’s office to bring over some tofu cheesecakes for me to try!!
Okay, so first let’s talk about the original tofu flower cheesecake. This is just plain tofu cheesecake with a light sugary crust that is a bed for the soft, silky, smooth tofu cream. It has the consistency and smell of tofu. It also even feels very close to flan consistency! It also comes with a sugary sauce to dribble over for some extra sweetness. (But mind you, it is lightly sweet). This is like the asian version of an American cheesecake. “It’s not too sweet.” It also looks like a pie…
Now every week, Mr. & Mrs. Creamery comes out with a new menu for flavors of the week in addition to their other usual cheesecake flavors (Vietnamese coffee, black tea boba, etc). This past week was ube tofu cheesecake so Anh also got me that so that she could try it.
Ube tofu cheesecake was goood… Although I can still smell a hint of tofu, the ube totally masks the tofu flavor. In this case, I think it’s the fascination that the cheesecake is made of tofu. Eating it to enjoy the mere consistency and texture of tofu flavored with something else. It came with little white tapioca soaked in coconut milk (I think….)? It was very good but I think I prefer the original tofu flower cheesecake.
And to top it off, Anh also got me oolong tea ice cream!!!! They also have unique ice cream flavors (mostly Asian inspired). THIS. WAS. SO. GOOD! Tasted exactly like oolong tea with the milky aftertaste. Yes, like oolong milk tea. BRILLIANT! So refreshing and crisp to eat on a hot, hot summer day. Loved it!
I am definitely a fan of Mr. & Mrs. Creamery now and will need to take advantage of exhausting their other menu items before they go back to strictly only catering!!!! But who knows, maybe Covid will inspire them to open their client base to also single orders.
