Shout out to my long time favorite Chinese Bakery, JJ Bakery in Hacienda Heights. I might have attachment bias because I grew up on JJ, but I really think it would beat out most Chinese bakeries in a blind taste test.
On my last trip there, I picked up this innocuous looking coconut bread. It was a new item, and more interesting than white toast, so I picked up a loaf to try out.
Surprise!!! This is what's so fun about Chinese bakeries: there's often a surprise in the middle! The lightly scented coconut bread is filled with a crumbly butter/sugar nubbin. It's not earth shattering, but it was a clever idea. I appreciate the creativity. I think all the bakeries are a little hot under the collar now that 85 Degrees is offering some stellar competition.
