We walked into the restaurant to ask a few questions because the signage is a bit confusing. More on signage later. The lady behind the counter informed us; this is a Thai restaurant, not Chinese. Well okay already. It was empty inside so we had our pick of tables. Woo hoo.

Ordered the green tea and Thai barbecue chicken. The chicken came chopped up inside a lettuce leaf and was just spectacular! Moist, flavorful with a bit of crunch. The small side of sliced cabbage with mandarin oranges paired well with the chicken and rice. The chili garlic ginger sauce tasted wonderful, but it was a little too spicy/hot for me.

The Golden Dragon sign is an historic landmark from a bygone era. Jimmy and Annie Wong opened the Golden Dragon in 1955 using their savings. It stayed open until 2006 when it was sold to the current owner. Jimmy designed the neon dragon on the outside of the building.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs.

So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
