The Artisan Pâtisserie

Special thanks to The Artisan Pâtisserie for extending this food review invitation.

Update: This business has ceased its operations.

The Artisan Pâtisserie is a home-based bakery in Island Park that specializes in heavy cheesecake. Its unique recipe strikes a balance between New York-style cheesecake and Japanese-style cotton cheesecake. There are currently 4 flavors: Pure (RM55.00), Poppy Lemon (RM58.00), French Blue (RM65.00) and Golden Pumpkin (RM58.00).

The Artisan Pâtisserie spares no expense in food quality. 70% of the cheesecake is made from premium cream cheese from New Zealand. Egg is sourced from a local free range farm. The cheesecake does not contain any cream, butter or flour. Unlike most cheesecake, The Artisan Pâtisserie's version does not have a biscuit base.

For the case of Golden Pumpkin Cheesecake, pumpkin seeds are scattered throughout the cake's volume and its top surface. The cheesecake is reasonably rich but does not feel too surfeiting despite the unusually high proportion of cheese. The Artisan Pâtisserie suggests two ways to enjoy its cheesecake: chilled or in frozen form.

Customers can order from The Artisan Pâtisserie through its online portal or its Facebook page. As the cheesecake is made to order, 4 days advance order is recommended. The product is packaged in a special box (bamboo knife included) and tote bag, making it presentable as a gift. The Artisan Pâtisserie's collection point is located at Island Park. Customers can also request for delivery to selected areas in Penang, Klang Valley and Johor Bahru. A flat RM10.00 shipping fee applies.
