Restaurant #10: Golden Dragon
Gabrielle T. offered to lead Amber the Art Director and I to a vegetarian place in C-town. One which serves gluten "meat." However, this place was closed on Wednesdays. What - is it a museum? Do they not deliver fresh Gluten Meat until Thursday? Regardless, the Golden Dragon (816 Washington, between Grant & Stockton)
Inside, we were greeted by a nice, unsmiling woman who kindly ushered us into an elevator.
Once upstairs, God knows how many flights, we were led into this sumptuously appointed room.
Note the fearsome "Golden Dragons" on the columns! Such workmanship, you won't find at SF's new schmancy-pants over-priced food museums. Speaking of class, the tables were covered with cloths of flimsy white plastic. The food was good, we had lettuce cups and prawn salad with papaya sauce. Through in some dim sum for bulk, and we were content.
Sadly, no spontaneous lectures were given, though not for lack of stage & podium. There is also a piano, but I wisely chose not to photograph it.
And what dessert is sweeter than a baffling fortune?
