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 dishes make up the table: a wok of seafood and greens, roast goose or duck with sauce, sweet and sour pork with green beans, cucumber with little fish balls, steamed buns and lettuce in broth.

Roger wrote Lunch @ Panyu, which may mean the Guangzhou district or a restaurant by that name — the archive keeps his wording. It was part of a family weekend across the border, and the other meals were just as generous.
