Chinese rice cakes (aka white sugar cake) in SGV?

I'm talking about bai tang gao, the Chinese spongy, sticky type you'd find at a dim sum parlor or a bakery in Chinatown. I guess the question is more, Where can I find a HK bakery in SGV?

The closer to Temple City the better. TIA.

    Went to Yum Cha Cafe. Had the white and brown sugar cakes, har gow, steamed veg buns, chicken feet and sesame balls. All solid and a good deal.

      I used to get it at Happy Bakery on Valley & 9th before they burnt down. I believe they relocated further down Valley into San Gabriel. Don't know if they changed name. They sell sheets of them along with the yellow sponge cake too.
      Yum Cha Cafe sell both the white and brown kind.

        Yes, it's still Happy Bakery.

        Any dim sum place will sell it to you, in sheets if you want.

        For convenience, you could just go to Yum Cha Cafe at the San Gabriel Superstore. They have both white sugar and brown sugar cakes.
