Matcha New York Cheesecake

It was my friend's Sin Cheah's birthday on 9 September. She is a green tea lover so I decided to make something related to green tea for her. I was having a fever just days before her birthday, hence, I can only do something easy.

Using my previous new york cheese cake recipe. I halves the recipe and made a 6 inches cake. Turned out quite all right. The birthday girl likes it but thinks could do more with the matcha flavour.
