Sugar-Coated: Sheng Kee Bakery
Needless to say, when it comes to birthday cakes for people such as my grandparent's or my elders, it's always a miss.
However, on my grandmother's birthday I decided to go for it and get a cake for her. So, I asked a few of my friends on great places to go and the one that stood out the most was Sheng Kee Bakery.
Sheng Kee Bakery is a great Asian bakery with a variety of cakes, pastries, and bolba drinks. This place did take me a while to find but then again driving on Irving St during rush hour in San Francisco is a pain. Anyways, after I finally found this place and found parking, I was really surprised on how fast the staff is. I was literally in and out of this place within 20 minutes with a Taro cake.
When I got home, I was crossing my fingers hoping it would be a hit. Which it was. Her exact words were, "It's good and not too sweet." Which really is a great complement, coming from an Asian grandparent, because they typically don't like desserts that are too sweet.
Needless to say, I would definitely come back to Sheng Kee Bakery again for the next grandparent's birthday.
