Today, while getting the fishcake sandwich at Ba Le, I happened upon a new cupcake place, Encorecake. The strawberry cupcake was moist and not overly sweet (my preference), and I bought a pina colada cupcake, I didn't get to try it because someone inhaled it. I'll go there again.
Encorecake
10178 San Pablo Ave
El Cerrito
I agree that the bread to filling ratio is high at Ba Le, but the filling is good, it's close, I like the Vietnamese yogurt, and my dog does amazing tricks for chunks of fishy-flavored bread.
For a quick take out lunch or dinner, the organic Thai food at Ran Kanom in the Pacific East Mall is hits the spot. They also make homemade curry pastes, but they sell out fast.
