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 photograph shows a tall dessert with dark purple rice layers, yellow slices, coconut shavings and a gold-colored decoration. Roger names purple sticky rice with coconut in the caption; the other ingredients and exact menu name are left unassigned.

Flickr labels both the photograph-taken date and upload date September 10, 2013. The caption tags simplylife and Hong Kong, but does not establish an exact branch or a separate visit date. The photograph records the dessert without adding a rating or present-day endorsement.
