If you think that tofu and cheesecake sound weird together, then you’ve got to try Cake Spade’s Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake (from $55), which has fresh strawberries encased in jelly atop a creamy base that’s supported by a perfectly baked digestive biscuit crust at the bottom.

Best known for its artisanal breads (sourdough, wholemeal, preferment and more), tarts and pastries, Bakery Brera prides itself on using flour sourced from France and Japan. But its burnt cheesecakes (which come in original, matcha and Earl Grey chocolate flavours and are priced upwards of $8 a slice) are the show-stealers. Creamy, rich and flavourful, they are made fresh daily using three types of cheeses, and are sold out pretty much every day because of how sought after they are, so be sure to pre-order early.
