Kwan Lac Bakery - Monterey Park

Nice parking lot. Was closed earlier and my mother loves to buy plain steamed dumplings from them. Now it’s open again! Got dumplings, 油条， 咸煎饼 。 Frankly, the quality is so so. Rather popular place though. So, I guess some of the items that I have bot tried are probably good

Let me say this first. I always support local businesses over chain corporate restaurants. This bakery was a little bit of disappointment. The Chin Toy was so greasy that when you took a bite the oil was coming out a lot. Was not very crispy though fried. The bao was not good. The dough was too sweet and the filling hard ball of meat. In addition, better presentation of goods can take you far. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place.

It's the second time now. When I bought the cake by the slice, they are dried, which means they cut overnight cakes to sell by the slice. Only buy their cakes whole and not by the slice. I wish they will not sell day old cakes. When they are fresh, they taste great.

This place has the best sponge cake in the world! People line up around 8 o'clock to buy their fresh roll cakes, sponge cakes, meat buns, and pork teas. The opening hours are from 7 AM to 3 PM, so get there early!

I recently discovered one of the best Hong Kong-style bakeries in town. Despite its small and unassuming appearance, this place truly delivers. Their sweet cupcakes, Chinese donuts, and a cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea make for the perfect combination, allowing you to fully savor the essence of Hong Kong bakery culture. Until next time, everyone! Please stay healthy, safe, and well. Have a wonderful day! - Bosco
