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.

Nine frames cover the table: a chicken dish, green beans, broccoli with tofu rounds, fried chicken, steamed fish with soy, crisp ribs, a stir-fry, a table photo and peach-shaped longevity buns for the birthday.

Roger tagged the Hakka food with 正, his highest praise. The longevity buns are the detail that makes it a birthday meal.
