Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland, California, makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures. The restaurant makes foods that are cooked, or baked, in an oven. Many of them are sweet. For example, the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie. It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside. Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China. The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau’s way of honoring her grandmother who would make a food that had a similar taste. Lau’s restaurant also makes hojicha chocolate croissants and Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies. Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods. Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store. She said: "We get a lot of comments where they’re just like... ‘Oh this took me back several years,’ when they were growing up.” She added that it is nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries.
