TORONTO – Manchu Wok has introduced a deep-fried cheesecake to its menu — the first of its kind at a fast-food eatery. Made of a warm cheesecake filling wrapped inside a flaky crust, it is available today, November 9, at Manchu Wok locations across North America.
“There are a variety of dishes in Chinese cuisine that are wrapped in a light flaky shell, from spring rolls and egg rolls to uniquely battered vegetables and meats, so this seemed like a natural extension,” said Ernest Lam, vice-president of Menu Strategy and Training. “Many people have never heard of deep-fried cheesecake, and we love adding innovative menu items that push the boundaries of fast food.”
The recipe was created and is manufactured exclusively for Manchu Wok. Free sample are being handed out at select stores.
Manchu WOK is North America’s largest Chinese Food Franchise and a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Café de Coral. It has served over 300-million meals worldwide.
