Golden Gate Bakery

Every September during the Autumn Moon Festival, the lines form round the block for Golden Gate’s famous moon cakes, filled with things like pineapple, coconut, lotus seed, red-bean paste and sugared melon. A 40-year-old Chinatown institution, the bakery is also the place for other Chinese baked specialties, including egg custard tarts, coconut macaroons, sweet rice cakes and vanilla cream buns.
