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 takeout containers cover the classics: golden siu mai, translucent har gow, braised chicken feet and a lotus-leaf-wrapped parcel of lo mai gai.
Roger’s caption lists every item in Cantonese and English and adds that he was starving. Dim sum in a clamshell does not look like much, but it shows how the standards travel — this was the takeout version of a weekend yum cha.
