AMAZING
1st UBE LECHE FLAN CUPCAKE
Cafe 86 - Antioch, Antioch
My favorite ube dessert...and a reward to myself for finishing a 10K walk/jog before 8am this morning. 😁
2nd UBE LECHE FLAN CUPCAKE
Cafe 86 - Union City, Union City
I drove out of my way, on the way home, get these. The best cupcake combo!
3rd UBE LECHE FLAN CUPCAKE
Cafe 86 - Mt View, Mountain View
Holy moly. The flan and ube leche cupcake is the best ube dessert that I've ever eaten. Perfect texture and not overly sweet. Love this!
4th SANS RIVAL
Viridian, Oakland
Unfortunately, this is not a regular item and the menu changes nightly. So delicious! Cashew meringue, French buttercream, and Brown Butter ice cream with melted browned butter
5th PARFAIT "HALF & HALF" (ITALIAN ICE & CUSTARD)
Sweet and Shavery, Davis
This is the perfect combo of swirl choc/van custard with Italian ice layers of lychee, cherry, and mango. The fruit flavors in the Italian ice were bold and not overly sweet. Perfection!
6th WHITE CHOCOLATE PUDDING
Bouche, San Francisco
So decadent that I had to order a second portion to consume.
7th CHOCOLATE MISO
Viridian, Oakland
oh wow! that miso cremeux is amazing! I have to order this again! Black sesame Chantilly, chocolate cake, miso cremeux, dark chocolate mirror glaze.
9th THIN MINT TART
Juanita & Maude, Albany
Absolutely decadent and light. Made with chocolate mint custard and whipped chocolate ganache.
10th SHWE GYI (BURMESE SEMOLINA CAKE)
Burma 2, Walnut Creek
Served with vanilla ice cream. Delicious warm cake with coconut cream, evaporated milk, and poppy seeds.
11th CARAMEL FLAN
Porto's Bakery and Cafe, Buena Park
Flavorful, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness!
14th HALO HALO
FOB Kitchen, Oakland
$14USD is probably the most I've ever paid for halo halo, but this mix-mix dessert is totally worth it...plus it came with a sprinkle of Fruity Pebbles and a pirouette cookie on top. The combo of ube ice cream, ube halaya, coconut strip, jackfruit, pandan rainbow jelly mix, coconut milk, and shave ice is just delicious!
15th TRES LECHES
Porto's Bakery and Cafe, Buena Park
Just the right amount of sweet and not overly soggy. Perfection! Are there any sweets at Porto's that don't get the amazing rating???
REALLY GOOD
16th RICE PUFF
Queen's Bakery, Los Angeles
It's something I've eaten since I was a kid and only Queen's Bakery makes it like this. Not too sweet, not too sticky, and more chewy than crunchy. It's kinda like a Chinese Bakery version of a rice krispy treat, but made with corn syrup, coconut flakes, and sesame. Pronounced in Cantonese as "sigh keh mah" I know it's not "amazing" for most people, but I'll make that drive from SF to LA just to have a taste of it!
18th HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER OREO COOKIE
Homeroom, Oakland
Made with creamy homemade peanut butter that is sweet and savory. 😋😍 It should be a regular menu item, but it's a special menu item for National Mac and Cheese Week.
19th COCONUT CREAM PIE
Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop, Lahaina
the shaved coconut flakes are so good with this pie...and I usually dislike shredded coconut on anything.
21st MATCHA EGG PUFF ICE CREAM CUP
Baby Cafe Hong Kong Bistro, Oakland
The menu lists this as "Mocha" Egg Puff, but it's the usual set of English typos when you order from Chinese/English combo menus in Chinatown. The Egg Puff was more crispy than doughy. Perfect item to share with friends!
23rd TARO PIE
McDonald's, Makawao
of all the McD's fried pies that I've ever had, this one is my favorite. it's sweet, but not overly sweet to my liking.
24th HAUPIA SWEET POTATO PIE
Kona Brewing Co., Kailua-Kona
Okinawan sweet potato and haupia on a cookie crumble crust. Yum!
25th PUMPKIN PIE
McDonald's, Half Moon Bay
Only available during the HMB pumpkin festival. I make the special trip here, just for it. Second year in a row!
26th GUAVA AND CREAM PIE
McDonald's, Half Moon Bay
not as delicious as the guava and cheese roll from Porto's, but it does satiate the craving when there's no Porto's nearby in Northern California.
27th HALO HALO (VEGAN)
Nick's on Grand, South San Francisco
After everything gets mixed up, it's really good... and not made milk or eggs because it's vegan!
28th TARO HALO HALO
Beyond Tea, Suisun City
no ube or Flan, but icy taro slush with various mix-ins of boba, red bean, and jellys.
29th MERINGUE AUX FRUITS ROUGES
Chefs de France, Orlando
Meringue basket with fresh berries, vanilla cream, raspberry sauce, and strawberry sorbet
