16.10.2014 - Batam.  Bake a lovely Japanese cotton cheesecake for my mom and sisters came all the way from Msia-Spore-Batam for a short visit. Im using the same Japanese-cotton-cheesecake recipe on my blog few months ago.  You will find this recipe bake at 180c reduce temperature to 170c 17mins before finish.

I use such high temperature because my oven is not going to cook my cheesecake at 160c duration 1hr 30mins ( which i've ever tried and end up a half cooked cheesecake and very bad ) you may adjust your own oven temperature to gets a perfect japanese cheesecake baking.

Here are some pictures of the baking process.
