    Borim's Matcha
    Tianna D.

    I was over a friend's playing board games and they brought out some desserts that they needed help to finish before going on a trip, one of which was a cheesecake. It was my first time having and learning about the existence of Basque Cheesecake. It was an OG Burnt and it was amazing. It's firm and dense on the outside, light, soft and silky on the inside, a caramelised top and nice crunchy graham base. Duly is really nice. He has drop dates 1-3 times each month and does special orders case by case. Before ordering one for my birthday, among the million and one questions I had, I inquired if he sells slices as I didn't want to commit to a flavor without trying it first. And don't get me wrong, The OG Burnt is a great when-in-doubt choice. He does not sell slices but has limited samples of a few flavors at each drop date. The consistency of the texture is the same in all the cakes. Each flavor is inspired by a drink. I'm hoping he experiences Ube Milk Tea very soon :'). Here's what I've tried so far: Borim's Matcha - I went with this one for my birthday. The matcha is perfectly balanced with the cream cheese, it's not too matcha-y but not muted. Black Tea Honey - this one was nostalgic as it reminds me of how my mom makes her tea (Yellow Label Lipton tea with condensed milk) The regular sizes are about 5" and about 2" high at the edges.

    OG Burnt Cheesecake from Korean Momma

    tl;dr my goodness, order this cheesecake as soon as you can! I came to know about Korean Momma from a friend who had bought an OG Burnt Cheesecake earlier in the week. He was so kind to share some, and from the first bite, I knew I had to get my own ASAP! Fast forward one week: I place an order on the Korean Momma website, and on the next Saturday I show up at Shojo for pickup. I'm immediately greeted by Duly (the owner and creator) himself, and he is so kind! He offered me a Vietnamese Coffee Cheesecake sample, which was delicious. We chatted for a few minutes longer as he told me more about the story behind Korean Momma: for more details, I would strongly recommended Episode 8 of the Seoulful Productions podcast, which features Duly himself talking about Korean Momma! But I want to focus on the main reason I'm writing this review: the OG Burnt Cheesecake is hands down my favorite slice of cheesecake. I'm anyways a basque cheesecake fan, but this one's perfectly creamy center and bottom crust make it unlike any other I've had (and I've had many!). Every part of it is so well crafted, and it's clear that Duly has put in extraordinary effort to make this amazing. Since my first visit, I've already ordered twice more, including for my family (though I took a "tax" of sorts before I gave it to them...). Please - if you're anywhere near Cambridge, try this out!

    One of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. The texture is super creamy and rich. My partner surprised me with one and it was an amazing gift. Duly is a kind person and he even gave us a few samples to try! It is a grab and go situation since you have to order in advance then pick up, and it was super quick. I highly recommend ordering cheesecake from here!

    Inchu - Korean Bimbimbap bowl, chicken, on greens, with no egg.  Proper Pint too

    Inchu offers a casual fast-casual bowl concept with a mix of Asian-inspired dishes, featuring…read moreoptions like bibimbap, donburi, and other fusion-style bowls. We walked into a clean, modern space with a straightforward ordering setup that makes it a convenient spot for a quick meal. The interior is functional and uncluttered, designed around efficiency rather than lingering, and the presentation of the bowls is appealing, with each dish arriving neatly composed. We tried one of the bowls and found the ingredients themselves to be fresh and well prepared, but the seasoning leaned a bit on the salty side, which made some of the components feel less balanced than expected. The portion was decent, though for the price, it felt slightly overpriced compared to what you get. The flavors were enjoyable but did not stand out as much as we had hoped, and the overall dish felt more like a solid, dependable option rather than something memorable. The proteins were cooked well, and the vegetables added a nice crunch, but the sauce distribution could have been more even to avoid pockets of intense saltiness. Service was quick and the setup works well for a grab-and-go meal, with the staff moving efficiently through the line and the order coming together without much delay. It is a convenient option if you are already in the area and looking for something fast, but the value and seasoning could use some improvement. The space stays comfortable even during busy periods, and the overall experience is smooth and straightforward, though it leans more toward practicality than culinary excitement.

    A great option to explore in Time Out market for some Asian fusion bowls…read more They offer bowls that are well-portioned (especially compared to the other vendors), are efficient in preparing orders, and have many different ways to customize the bowl to meet dietary preferences. There are also both raw and cooked options for the protein. Overall, the bowls are super flavorful, fresh, and filling. My go-to is usually the Japanese Donburi. Sometimes they are out of ingredients (commonly the salmon in my experience), but the variety they have on the menu is helpful to hopefully find a swap that fits your taste. Like the other options in Time Out, you can sit either inside or outside and after ordering, they will give you a buzzer. Just head over to the counter to pick-up when the buzzer goes off, but otherwise you can eat anywhere in Time Out. It can definitely get loud and crowded depending on the time of day or if there is an event around (like Red Sox games). I have still had pretty efficient service even when it is crowded. Only drawback is the cost, but like I said, it is somewhat more worth the money here since the portion size is larger than most of the other options.
