Although i dislike eating cheesecake, i still love 2 have some experiments. As my uncle and aunty love it so much-they said it goes so well with green tea,also the cheesecake in store is too sweety 2 taste-hey asked me to try making some. This is the second cheesecake i made after the first one named "Traditional NewYork Cheesecake".The combination of sour lemon with the cheesy taste will bring to your mouth an absolutely new aromatic flavor......
---I made this one long time ago.At that time,I wasn't attempt to post it anywhere so i didn't take picutre of the inside.
