Golden Gate Cake Shop
I love Chinese food, and every time I walk through China Town in London I have a desire to go into one of the restaurants and stuff my face. Yet I always seem to have already arranged a meal for later on in the day, or more usually I have stuffed myself elsewhere. Well now I have found something that is not too filling but satisfies my desire for Chinese food. The answer to my problems was in the Golden Gate Cake Shop, but the answer is not a cake but a bun.
The shop is tiny inside and can only fit about 7 people. When you walk in you grab a tongs and paper bag or try, then pick your own buns. Luckily the buns are identified in both English and Chinese. I have to admit as I was lucky enough to have mine bought for me I didn’t get to venture deep into the shop to see what the full range entailed. I went for a Chinese roast pork bun (Char Siu) and D chose a Chicken Curry one. Both were gorgeous and about £1 each, so if you are a bit more than peckish I would get two.
Now my problem is going through Chinatown without going into the Golden Gate Cake Shop, maybe next time I will get to venture further into the store and discover even more delights. I will keep you posted.
