Meyer lemon base glazed with huckleberry. $3
Dynamo Donuts and Coffee, San Francisco CA
I chose this donut because of the beautiful, pink huckleberry glaze. I also love lemon flavored pastries so this donut was a winner all around! Dynamo Donuts makes some mighty fine donuts for sure!
SF Giant’s baseball game, AT&T Park.
Vanilla and chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, and seasonal maple flavor.
Cupcake Royale, Seattle WA
These little babycakes are cute, but they’re definitely not as good as their normal sized cupcakes. While the flavors were there, they were kinda dry and lifeless. I bought these for my niece’s birthday and the kids seemed to enjoy them nevertheless.
Passion fruit, black currant, earl grey, chocolate, green tea, and raspberry. Each $1.35
Fresh Flours, Seattle WA
Omg, I’m in heaven! I bought a box of these to take to a family event because everybody loves macarons! My nieces and nephews can destroy these things in zero seconds flat. As macarons go, these were very good and the staff at Fresh Flours were great.
Banh ngan lop pho mai viet quay. 25,000 VND
Paris Baguette, Ho Chi Minh City VIETNAM
I love the different shapes that all the pastries come in here! American blueberry pastries mostly come in a boring round shape. We don’t get a cool variety like the ones at Paris Baguette. It’s a shame. 😦
Iced cafe latte. 55,000 VND
Hotel de Ville de Saigon (City Hall).
Banh ngot thit muoi cuon. Bacon wrapped croissant filled with chopped hard boiled eggs. 26,000 VND
Paris Baguette, Ho Chi Minh City VIETNAM
Omg, this was warm and delicious! I loved the bacon, and the pastry was the perfect thickness for cutting through and eating. I thought this was fun and new. We need these here in the US! They’re the perfect bite for breakfast.

View of the city from the Saigon Skydeck in the Bitexco Financial Tower.
Spiced bread with raisins and walnuts. $2.60
Noe Valley Bakery, San Francisco
Bought a dozen of these yesterday to take on our Easter wine tasting trip to Sonoma. It was a fun way to spend Easter with friends, but I might have over done it! I’m suffering today because of it, lol!
San Francisco Ferry Building.
Soft and moist rice cakes made with 100% rice flour topped with salted duck egg and cheddar cheese.
Bibingkinitan, Manila PHILIPPINES
Omg, these were SO frickin’ good! They were deliciously salty, buttery and super soft. And they’re the perfect size to snack on, but you really can’t stop at just one. Noms!
Malacanan Palace balcony where President Ferdinand Marcos made his last public appearance.
Banh lop choco. Chocolate chip pastry. 13,000 VND
Banh lop man. Mi ham cheese pastry. Each 9,000 VND
Tous Les Jours, Ho Chi Minh City VIETNAM
I don’t think we really needed these pastries, but it was hot walking outside and we needed to use a bathroom so we ducked into Tous Les Jours for air conditioning, cold drinks and a potty break. Lol! The pastries were unplanned, delicious treats! I did get scolded for taking pics of their products inside the store though. I’m still not completely sure why but I assumed it was competitor/ownership issue.

Iced Americano. 35,000 VND

Young coconut tart with crumble topping. 30 PHP
Rowena’s, Tagaytay PHILIPPINES
This tart was pretty good. Not too sweet and with large slivers of baby coconut in the middle. A great snack before a long drive back to Manila.
Boating it to Taal Volcano.
Banh lop kem. 10,000 VND
Tous Les Jours, Ho Chi Minh City VIETNAM
This was a nice little sweet treat for our morning walk to the War Remnants Museum. It got SO hot that we had to stop at Tao Dan Park for some much needed shade. The custard pastry was SO tasty and moist. This bakery was really popular since it had branches all over the city.
Gerbera daisies, Tao Dan Park.
I bought this bun because I thought it looked really pretty with the purple rings peeking out from underneath. I loved that it wasn’t super sweet but had a great purple yam flavor. The bread portion was also delicious. 37 PHP
The French Baker, Las Pinas PHILIPPINES
Boats on Taal Lake, Tagaytay.
Uh, who knew that a millet muffin would be SO fun to eat! This was the first time I had a muffin with millet and the little grains were really fun to chew and gave the muffin a great texture. Throw in some raspberries and you’ve got a winner! $2
Arizmendi Bakery, San Francisco CA
