Considering how difficult it is to find real cheese let alone cream cheese in Chongqing, it should come as no surprise that cheesecake is a bit of a rare find. However, it does exist, and that velvety, decadent taste is closer and more affordable than you might think. Calorie counters avert your eyes, here are the places to look…
Rosa’s Bakery – Luo Sha Dan Gao 罗莎蛋糕
Among the wide selection of baked pastries and desserts, Rosa’s offers cheesecake by the slice in two flavors, original and blueberry for 10 RMB/slice. Here are the two main branches:
• Shapingba – located next to Carrefour facing the train station
• Jiefangbei – located on Ba Yi Road (八一路), between Snack street and Jiaochangkou.
Angel’s Kiss – Tian Shi Zhi Wen 天使之吻
An entire bakery devoted to cheesecake. They carry an incredible variety of cheesecakes from light cheeses blended with fruit to heavy New York style cheesecake for 10-15 RMB/slice. It would take weeks to try all the flavor combinations, a delicious challenge if there ever was one. This is also the best place to order whole cheesecakes for special occasions like birthdays. These range from 80-200 RMB (similar to Ganso bakery prices).
• Shapingba – located across the street from Wangfujing, on one of the corners around the San Jiao (三角碑) traffic circle.
• Daping – Located next to Parkson’s Department Store.
