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.

Four translucent spring rolls show shrimp, greens and noodles through the wrappers, with a red dipping sauce and crisp cucumber and carrot on the side.

Roger called the gỏi cuốn delicious after a long bike ride. The restaurant name does not appear in the caption, but Flickr preserves the Foursquare venue ID for Saigon on Fifth on the original photo page.

Archive verdict

A clearly documented post-ride plate from a now-closed Hillcrest restaurant — preserved as a 2012 visit, not a current recommendation.
