San Francisco: Golden Gate Bakery

The first time I tried to go to Golden Gate Bakery, it was closed.  The second time I tried to go, AF and I jumped out of the car in the middle of the street and TT circled the block.  Success!:

No pictures allowed inside, so I shadily took one outside:

No shame, right?

Golden Gate Bakery is known for its egg tarts:

Okay.  Confession time.  I may be Chinese, but I do NOT like egg tarts.  Blasphemy.  I know.  I just don't enjoy that egg-y taste/texture.  Which is the same reason why I don't like flan or quiches.

All the same, I tried the egg tarts.  One as is and one frozen.  I was meh about both.

Sorry, okay!  I can't help it.

Since it was the Moon Festival, we had to get mooncakes.  Or mooncake.  Singular:

AF and I decided on the lotus seed paste:

It was good, but as with all mooncakes, I really couldn't eat more than two wedges.  That stuff is deeeense.

Golden Gate Bakery, I may not see what all the fuss is about, but that's probably because I'm not Chinese enough.

It's not you, it's me.
