An Expert’s Favorite Sesame Balls at San Francisco Dim Sum Restaurants | Eater SF
"Chinatown’s eminent sesame ball purveyor is Eastern Bakery. It’s been around for over 100 years. The sesame ball here goes for about $3; it’s cash only or, interestingly, Zelle-accessible. Each jian dui comes warm, enormous, and full of q goodness. It’s the size that puts most of the respect on this recipe — it’s a large temple to better worship the glory of sesame or lotus paste. Taking a few of these pastries for under $10, including tip, to nearby Portsmouth Square is as smart a sesame ball date as they come." - Paolo Bicchieri
