The Good Stuff
Takoyaki Quality
The octopus takoyaki was praised for being flavourful and cooked properly, with sauce and toppings that worked well.
Custom Designs
Cake orders can accommodate detailed requests for design, flavour and delivery timing, including unusual small tiered cakes.
Reliable Delivery
One cream cake arrived on time and in perfect condition after travelling a good distance in summer.
Cheese Tarts
The cheese tarts stand out for their good crust and a taste that is not overly sweet.
Helpful Service
Customers describe the staff as accommodating, responsive and willing to handle detailed cake requests.
Tips for a Better Visit
Order Ahead. Order cheesecake ahead when freshness matters; one reviewer specifically advised doing so to receive it fresh.
Check Timing. Ask about preparation time before ordering, since one quiet visit still involved waits of over 30 minutes and more than an hour.
Adjust Sweetness. If you prefer less sweetness, state that when ordering; a customer requested less sweet milk and enjoyed the result.
Confirm Designs. For celebration cakes, share the design, flavour and delivery requirements clearly; a detailed request was matched successfully.
Try Tarts. Add the cheese tarts if you like a less-sweet dessert with a noticeable crust; they were described as worth adding to a future order.

The Bottom Line
MaMa Fluffy Cheese Cake in International City is mainly a Japanese cheesecake stop, but the menu reaches beyond cake. The signature Japanese cheesecake is repeatedly described as soft, fluffy and not too sweet, while the takoyaki has also earned strong praise. Cheese tarts are another useful pick if you prefer a firmer crust and restrained sweetness.
It is also a practical choice for celebrations. Reviews describe themed and customized cakes, including a Harry Potter design, a two-design birthday cake and a small tiered cake made within 2kg when other bakers had refused. Customers mention clear communication, careful handling and deliveries arriving on time, even with a cream cake travelling through summer.
The main caution is consistency in waiting time. One quiet visit involved more than 30 minutes for cheesecake and over an hour for takoyaki, and the octopus was reportedly undercooked that time. The laksa also divided opinion.
Ask about preparation time, and order ahead if freshness or a fixed celebration schedule matters. For drinks and savoury items, reviews mention milk tea, boba milk and takoyaki. Sweetness can be requested to suit your preference.
Customer comments also describe combo offers and delivery charges as fair, though no exact prices are provided.
