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.
Dark, glossy guilinggao fills a white bowl, with a ceramic spoon tucked between the bowl and saucer. The Chinese lettering is visible on the bowl, but the photograph and caption leave the exact branch unverified.
Roger’s caption names the jelly and tags Hong Kong. Flickr dates the photograph to October 3, 2013 and the upload to October 4. The archive uses the photograph date; the record does not establish a separate visit date or a rating.
