Bake Sum has officially arrived at the Alameda Marketplace (in the old Feel Good Bakery space). We love the Asian bakery's cream-filled milk buns and okonomiyaki danishes from their original Grand Lake location, so we're excited to try everything at this outpost-including the new sandwich menu.
In a press release, Faison said the concept draws from her days running Tiger Mama, which served a fusion of Southeast Asian cuisine. In the opening menu at Tigerbaby, you'll find influences of Thai and Vietnamese, but also more Eastern Asian influences as well, with dishes like Thai basil chicken, black pepper beef and broccoli, and Vietnamese cold coffee.

While you can purchase loose fermented and salted beans, they are most convenient when purchased in sauce form, having been combined with other ingredients like soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar.
I spent the first half of 2025 in Paris, and while I loved living in a walkable city overflowing with art and culture, I often found myself craving a taste of home. Fortunately, Paris has not one but two Chinatowns: Belleville and the 13th arrondissement. Belleville is an artsy, historically progressive neighborhood shaped by centuries of immigration from Europe, Africa, and Asia. At its center is Parc de Belleville, known for its rotating street art and sweeping sunset views of the Eiffel Tower.
Many of our breakfasts are cold, few of them contain vegetables, and they're often geared more toward convenience, intended to provide a quick energy boost while we're rushing out the door.

A huge favorite for lunches and dinners, especially during the colder parts of the year, soup is largely overlooked in the mornings.
Sesame oil comes in two varieties: regular and toasted sesame oil. Regular sesame oil will provide a mild nuttiness, but the fuller flavor is found in the toasted oil. You may have been advised not to fry with this oil due to its low smoke point, but the medium heat required for the perfect fried egg won't be enough to burn it.
Most aspiring chefs break into the biz washing dishes in bustling restaurant kitchens, but for Vinh Nguyen, that education began at home. "My family and I made friends with everybody, mostly because of my mom's cooking," Vinh said during a recent phone interview. "My mom would make food and bring it over unabashedly to neighbors' houses, so being the youngest one, I always followed her in the kitchen like I was her baby sous chef."
"My first Lychee Martini was at BondST, of course! In the Lychee Martini's earlier heyday, most could be found at Asian restaurants, whether they had developed cocktail programs like BondST or simply wanted to offer a few crowd-pleasing drinks alongside more traditional beverages."
We look forward to welcoming T Market to our already dynamic lineup and immersive experiences," Jennifer Kearney said, highlighting the distinctive retail concept and fresh experiences T Market will bring.
"From the rise in regional noodle dishes, like biangbiang and Chongqing xiaomian, to the increase of Asian supermarkets in the capital, it's clear that London's appetite for Asian food is only getting bigger."
The Cream Cheese Rangoon at Panda Express may appear appealing, but they disappoint with their one-dimensional flavor, lacking the traditional crab meat, leaving customers unfulfilled.
