Sogo Bakery

It’s time to update the review of this bakery. Don’t buy cakes here. They are not fresh at all. Some of them probably are several weeks old. I’ll never buy any cakes from this bakery.

Went in search for a last minute birthday cake today. Looked at Sheng Kee’s sad, day old and expensive cakes and walked across the mall to see what Sogo had to offer. Bought the chocolate dream cake for $ 21 (8″). Cake was fresh (very surprising considering Chinese bakeries sometimes sell day old or three day old cake) and very light. They did not skimp on the coco for the sponge cake because it looks chocolatey. The cake was also very moist and decorated beautifully (like a dress one of my guests said). Not too sweet and just right.
Forget Sheng Kee, drop into Sogo and buy your cakes from them!

Went to Sheng Kee to order a birthday but they needed 2 day advance notice, so that didn’t work out.
Walked over to Sogo and the lady said she can make it for me on the same day, and it was ready for pick up by 6pm as requested.
Quality of the cake is similar to Sheng Kee, service is much friendlier, and very accommodating with last minute orders.

Had their Portuguese egg tart for $ 1 from King’s Coffee and Tea. (Review of King’s Coffee here:
) The egg tart had pieces of burnt caramel sugar on top. The egg tart tasted like crème brûlée with a fluffy egg tart crust. So basically it was a fusion of 2 of my favorite desserts egg tarts and crème brûlée. The only bad thing was that it wasnt fresh so I look forward to going to the actual location to get a portuguese egg tart. This egg tart is flirting with the must try status so check it out.

Portuguese Dan Taat!
the creamy goodness of crème brûlée with egg flavor in the flaky, crunchy, buttery crust of a tart! torched on top too!
i loved it (got it from King’s Coffee so it was cold, but it was still so delicious!) and must try it when it comes out fresh at this location!

We were deciding between Sheng Kee or Sogo. I usually go to Sheng Kee, but my friend thought best to try Sogo… And that we did! We got the mocha cake… I can’t say it was very good. The cake didn’t seem very fresh. It had the consistency of the usual cake from an asian bakery… not too sweet. But the cake itself wasn’t too fluffy and soft. The frosting was A-​OK. I was def not wow-​ed… the lady at the counter was nice though. Backk to Sheng Kee’s i go! I wouldn’t mind paying the extra few dollars for a yummier cake!

My first FTR!
I found myself here during a search for dessert for some out of town guests.
Since we were planning to have Asian food for dinner, specifically Korean BBQ, I thought a light cake from Sheng Kee would be a nice touch with coffee afterwards.
As I approached the Sheng Kee bakery located near the 99 Ranch in Skyline Plaza, I noticed I was low on cash. Most of the cakes there are at least $ 18.00. I only had enough cash for the mini cheesecake or a bunch of cookies/​couple of pastries, not quite what I was looking for.
Frantically I scanned the room hoping for inspiration to hit. The Sogo Bakery sign beckoned me from across the hallway.
Such a great find.
Similar to Sheng Kee in assortment, i.e. cakes, pastries, cookies, Sogo tops Skeng Kee in terms of better selection within an assortment. I was looking for a cake to serve four people and found a good choice in the «mini tiramisu». It was about half the size of a standard round cake, surrounded by a thin chocolate shell and topped with a decorative and tasty strawberry.
Though a good choice, I still needed a few more bucks. Almost defeated, I glanced around and noticed a customer credit card machine. Nervously I asked the clerk to confirm if my hope was right. Whew! and Yay! Credit Card Accepted Here! Yippee!
Enjoying a yummy dessert with some great friends is an ideal way
to end the hosting of wonderful evening. Thanks Sogo.
