Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

Claypot rice is about what happens at the bottom of the pot, and this one is topped the classic way: glossy slices of Chinese sausage and cured meats, and a bright stalk of bok choy laid across the rice.

The dark, dramatic photo makes it look as rich as it is. Roger’s caption stacks three different Cantonese and Mandarin ways of saying tasty, which is about as clear an endorsement as a hashtag can give. The restaurant is not named.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Chinese sausage and cured meats
  • Bok choy for contrast
  • A classic Cantonese comfort dish

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A rich, well-topped claypot rice that Roger rated tasty in three languages.
