Sweet tooths, get set to swoon over this selection of the best Asian desserts in Sydney, including Japanese-style cheesecakes, Hong Kong waffles, Korean ice desserts and traditional sweets flavoured with green tea.
Uncle Tetsu’s Japanese Cheesecake
When this Japanese franchise opened in mid-2016, the queues stretched as far as the eye could see. Sydneysiders were drawn to Uncle Tetsu’s Japanese Cheesecake by the promise of freshly baked, feather-light cheesecakes, which are made right in front of your eyes. If you want to extend your experience, head upstairs to dine in Uncle Tetsu’s Angel Garden, which also offers crepes, galettes, and cheesecakes flavoured with honey, chocolate or green tea.

Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart
Another Japanese import that sparked hunger-inducing queues when it opened its first Sydney branch of Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart. Made with three types of cheese and a buttery shortcrust pastry, these indulgent little numbers are incredibly rich and best eaten warm.
