I've finally figured out where PG is, after going in circles...sigh, the directional instinct in me didn't kick in..but I found it anyhow! It's located in quite a lonely building, possibly the only lit up stall within the building. Thankfully it's located near the entrance, save for some posters and writeups pasted at the entrance to remind you of its existence.
Rin Rin tart being heavily promoted..
To my delight, they had most of their cakes/tarts on sale that day. Two tables were set up for patrons to dine in, of which one was a Japanese family tucking into their hometown delights. The lady serving me is utmost courteous, all smiles...in absolute Japanese style in terms of warm service.
Fromage Syun ($5.60)
The layers in this tart! I seriously did not know that it comprised of so many different layers until I savoured it. Biscuit tart with lemon yogurt cheese or cheesecake (basically a solidified version of cream cheese, or so it tastes that way!), topped off with a runny light cream cheese layer! I adore how the tart's got nice bite to it, crunchy and fragrant..the different layers melted together makes this tart quite a masterpiece. The jam towards the bottom was quite insignificant in taste, I didn't mind having it anyway. The bestest part of it -- low calories because it's made of low fat cheese! It's quite a "you can have your tart and eat it" scenario.
Rin Rin Cheese Tart Canadian Maple Syrup ($3.50)
This was sold out the other time, so I promptly made an order of this hotseller. It comes in a sealed satchet, emblazoned with "Glace". It looked very much like a tart baked to a delicious honey brown.
My afterthoughts after tasting it, it's a tart with a maple syrup biscuit base with smooth cream cheese layer on top. The cream cheese layer tasted much like Japanese cheesecake, light and velvety smooth. The biscuit was just alright, maple syrup wasn't heavy..somehow the biscuit reminded me of the Mid-autumn piggy biscuits, with the same texture.
It's the most expensive of the range of Rin Rin Cheese Tarts, second in line, the Japanese Rock Melon at $3.20. For the price, I wouldn't say it's totally worth every cent..on the pricey side in fact.
I'll call Fromage Syun Glace's best, not the mont blanc.
Strawberry Hills are calling....maybe next round?

ooh shall try the fromage syun next time. tried the maple syrup cheese tart which i quite liked (except that i would have preferred to have more of the biscuit crust! yum~), as well as the strawberry souffle- essentially japanese cheesecake with fresh cream and strawberries. the latter was well-executed, but somehow i prefer my strawberry shortcake from four leaves!
