A&J Bakery, 1300 E Main St, Ste 102, Alhambra, CA 91801

The last time I went to A&J was many years ago. A&J is a Taiwanese bakery. The signs are in Chinese, so if you’re not familiar with what they offer, it’s confusing. They make their own nian gao (rice cakes), shao bing, mung bean pastries, red bean pastries, etc. They also sell pork sung, jerky, sauces, fermented bean curd and probably some other things (I can’t read Chinese). I think they offer lunch bentos though I went in the late afternoon and didn’t see any. They’re also known for moon cakes.

I bought a pine nut nian gao ($17) aka sweet sticky rice cake as a Chinese New Year gift. I didn’t get to try it. Hope it was good. It was still warm when I bought it. I think there was a red bean filling. 

Herb rice cake ($3.95): Reminds me of a savory Taiwanese rice dumpling, it’s green because it’s made with a mugwort. The glutinous rice cake (mochi) was soft, smooth, and chewy. The filling of dried radish and dried shiitake mushrooms had a very Chinese flavor…loved it. The mushrooms were meaty. There might have been some pork in there too? I don’t know where else you can get these.

A&J Bakery is located in a small strip mall with ample parking. The bakery is small and no frills. Closed on Sundays and Mondays. $30 credit card minimum.

When I read the tags of your most recent post where you said

"cant believe we have people suspecting ponzi to be some sort of fake"

I read "some sort of fake" as "soft cake" and honestly I would defenitly believe ponzi is soft cake. What flavor would ponzi be? Lmao

We often purchase ang ku kuehs or red tortoise cakes from Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh (吉祥红龟粿) if we are around the vicinity of the stall. This lot of colourful snacks are for both my family and sister’s friend. Each colour represented a different filling except for the red ones which is either Peanut (花生) or Sweet Bean Paste (豆沙). Grey is Salted Bean Paste (咸豆沙), Green is Coconut (椰子), Purple is Yam (芋头) and Yellow is Corn (玉米).

Have you tried Ang Ku Kueh (红龟粿) or red tortoise cake before? My family enjoyed munching on these sticky and chewy snacks that comes in a host of sweet or savoury fillings. Shown here are the Coconut (椰子) and Peanut (花生) versions we bought near our place from Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh (吉祥红龟粿) popup stall.
