Linchakin: uncle tetsu shop

For the more complete review of Uncle Tetsu Shop Indonesia kindly refer to this link -> HERE

So last night I was invited to meet the one and only UNCLE TETSU in Central Park as well as the introduction to their new products which is going to be launched this May 19th: TRIPLE BAKED CHEESETARTS! Their newest outlet in PIM officially marks their second in Indonesia and Jakarta.

I didn't chat that much with THE Uncle Tetsu (due to the time) but he was very friendly, very funny with personality that POPS and warm in the same time! It was really an honor to be able to meet the man who has successfully built and expanded his empire internationally, not to mention he has been on this business for more around 3 decades, and he told me something that's simple but so powerful: he's doing this business simply because of love, mainly his love for baking cheesecakes and he has this dream of getting more and more people to try his 'love', hence the international expand.

TRIPLE BAKED CHEESETARTS
Got asked this by a ton of you on Instagram DM... PRICE. Honestly still haven't got the official retail price for each of these cheesetarts and I'll surely update you guys here or on Instagram Stories but what I can tell you is that there are 4 kinds of cheese used to make the filling of the cheesetarts, and it's called triple baked because of the baking steps, first they bake the crust first then following more steps after the cheese custard filling is put in. It was super aromatic and SUPER cheesy so I can't really tell you exactly how good is this because when it comes to the cheesy flavor, it really depends on ones' palate, there are those who like strong cheese character and some don't (and the latter is me).

Best served hot, well suggested for that oozing filling!

Their PIM outlet is located at Pondok Indah Mall 1 just above the main foodcourt.

The highly anticipated Uncle Tetsu Shop from Fukuoka, Japan is finally here! Following their success in Malaysia (and after 8 outlets spread around the country), Jakarta is next! The grand opening of this famous cheesecake brand is going to be held this April 8th 2017 and I was very fortunate to be invited for an exclusive preview today and keep reading as they have special treat for everyone (but if you follow me on Instagram I think you should have known about it LOL!).

The brand can be considered iconic as it has been around for 30 years and has expanded the business internationally, and I don't know how to explain it, but I always get excited when big International brands choose to open in Indonesia, well I know I am not the owner and more like a guest but I almost feel humbled by it, particularly Japanese brands as I know they're going to do very good here because they are super duper detailed with all the training and they have this quality standard that has to be spot on and even though perfection is something that doesn't exist, the quality has to be very close to being perfect.

Their first Jakarta outlet is located in Central Park LG floor (align with Llaollao) and I bet it's going to be easily noticeable just from the scent of the store: lingering freshly baked cheesecake that smells like this beautifully burnt caramel, just sweet! As of current, they don't occupy seats in their outlet so customers will have to purchase and take away the cheesecake.

Live open kitchen, not only you can smell the freshly baked cheesecakes you can also see how they make their precious cheesecakes!

Baked Cheesetarts and Hat Series coming soon!

So how about the cheesecake? My DM is flooded with questions about this and Pablo but what I can tell you is that both cheesecake is very different. Theirs was more to the fluffy, soft, pillowy, airy style where Pablo is more custardy, but the thing that's common about the two is the fact that their cheesecake don't taste very strong, and for someone who is not a crazy cheese fan, this is something I can take! Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake is more to the sweet and light with a hint of eggy flavor, and the texture was very soft and airy that it almost melt in your mouth.

Each one of their Signature Cheesecake will be sold for IDR 80k/each!

Made a boomerang of their jiggly cheesecake and posted it on my Instagram Stories

Now here's the twist: SPECIAL ON THEIR GRAND OPENING DAY APRIL 8TH 2017, THEIR CHEESECAKE WILL BE SOLD FOR IDR 8K ONLY (yes 8 fucking thousand rupiah) and there will be 1200 cheesecakes available on that day, and here I am also answering the flooding DM questions regarding the purchase T&C, each person can only buy one so I suggest that you come in groups or so-called squad to be able to purchase more, so even though you're using Gojek service each can only buy one too! Store starts opening from 10 AM but the queue might start from 9 AM!

They actually start opening today so if you don't care about queuing and choose to pay IDR 80k for the sake of comfort, yes you can, right this very second.

...and yes aku juga senang sekali kamu hadir di Indonesia sekarang!
