A quick post today as a celebration of graduating with my Masters Degree and moving back home! My aunt and uncle offered to do a little celebration dinner in buffalo where they live. Since I’m back with a new degree and my cousins are headed off to work on their post bachelors degrees this year we have a lot to celebrate.

LOCATION: 736 MAPLE RD., BUFFALO, NY. 14221

We decided to head to Fuji where my cousins work for a nice casual family lunch but to my amusement my cousins decide to order deep fried cheesecake for dessert after our copious amounts of sushi and Tonkatsu.

I was a little skeptical about deep fried cheesecake because these kinds of things tend to be pretty heavy and overly sweet not to mention it’s hard to gauge what texture will be like when a soft dessert like this is deep fried but boy was I pleasantly surprised.

I don’t know how Fuji does it but this cheesecake was great. They must use their tempura batter and a frozen cheesecake slice because it’s not overly sweet or heavy and the fried shell on the outside is light and fluffy as well. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it too much but maybe next time I’m at a festival in Rochester I won’t be so hesitant to order that deep fried cheesecake on a stick!
