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.

Two red mugs of Hong Kong milk tea sit beside a bowl of macaroni soup with ham and a slab of buttered thick toast.

Got my cha chaan teng fix today, Roger wrote. It was the first food post of a San Francisco trip, and the first thing he looked for was the Hong Kong breakfast he had been chasing in San Diego.
