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.

The collage covers a big order: fried oysters with a creamy dip, grilled tiger shrimp skewers over rice with cucumber, a bowl of pho, crisp shrimp-and-vermicelli fritters and sticky rice stuffed inside a bamboo stick.

Roger listed every dish in the caption. The bamboo sticky rice is the kind of detail that makes a spread memorable.
