My family and I had the Cheesecake Factory banana cheesecake in Nashville, and it was the best we've ever had. When I came home, I was determined to re-create it. I came up with this recipe, and it tastes almost identical to the original. Garnish with more fresh banana slices if desired.

This tomato sauce instantly became a family favorite. I created it when my family came in from out of town; everyone raved about it and my husband begs me to make it all the time.
Ground Pork Cake with Salty Egg (Haam Daan Ju Yoke Beng)
This is an authentic familiar traditional Cantonese home-style dish. It's a recipe mostly passed on within families, and it is rare to find this dish in any Asian restaurant. Trust me though, it is VERY good. It's actually intentionally salty tasting, so it goes very well with white rice. Salty eggs are also called a Haam Daan- you can find them at all Asian supermarkets.
