Sweet & Sour Bakery This bakery is the kind of place you would go just to look around. As you walk in the front doors, party pink and rainbow sprinkles welcome you in a shower of indulgence. There is a range of cakes, pastries, tarts and sweet kiddie treats on display, and some shiny tables to sit at each with a little cupcake napkin-holder. Behind the front room, staff bake and decorate
today’s new treats in an on-site kitchen. Perhaps the highlight of a Sweet & Sour experience is their cinnamon roll, a buttery balance of soft and doughy insides and a light, flaky crust. It’s satisfying but not heavy and sweet with a slight hint of cinnamon. Another dessert to try is the apple pie. This little gem with its rich crust and tangy filling comes in just the right size for one filling
portion, perhaps with a serving of ice cream. It’s not too sweet and the apples on the inside are cooked to perfection; tart as they hit your tongue but with a soft, slightly cinnamon aftertaste. Sweet & Sour Bakery is at 9 Ngo Quang Huy, Q2, HCMC and is open Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm. For info go to facebook.com/ cupcakesbysweetandsour
