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.

Six bowls and plates cover the Cantonese comfort canon: roast duck with bok choy in broth, a claypot of braised tofu, dry-fried beef chow fun, plain congee with scallions, winter melon soup and wonton soup.

Roger’s caption says he was starving after a workout, and the order reflects it. Golden City shows up earlier too — a 2012 family dinner was tagged there — which makes this a family-and-habit spot rather than a one-off.
