I called it satay quits and went on my phone. I was so full that I couldn’t even finish the extra noodles I had added to my order. And by 7:40 pm, we were stuffed and ready for a food coma. My dad joined us to watch another episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, a Sunday night tradition for the last 2 years. My sisters and I sat in the living room, devouring our steaming bowls of that peanut broth goodness. My eyes grew wide as I watched my little sister take her first bite. Anyone who has ever taken pho to-go knows the struggle of assembling your meal to your liking. We stood around the kitchen table, putting together our bowls of pho. Especially since the Bay Area was freezing cold this last week, a nice warm bowl of pho was definitely appreciated. I have been on my satay pho obsession for a couple months now, and it was time to have my sisters join in on the craze. Last night, my family and I ordered take-out from a Vietnamese spot on Ocean. I looked forward to taking my family there again. With the pandemic going on its 2 year anniversary, going to a familiar place that housed great memories from your childhood would be a great comfort. Hence why I wanted to go back after a few years of not eating in the dine-in restaurant area or the reserved party rooms. To this day, I still have fond memories of my family and I eating at Jade Dragon. From 1st birthdays, to baptism receptions, to birthday dinners, to birthday parties, to retirement parties, to debuts, to catering family events, to many eventless weekend dinners, we basically grew up at that restaurant eating their food. For me, Jade Dragon has been at the center of my family’s milestones.



It was on my mental list of places I should order from on Sundays.įor anyone that has grew up in Daly City, the restaurant, Jade Dragon, rings a thousand bells. I mentioned that we should go to Jade Dragon soon for the sake of memories, and even made a mental note of it for when it’s my turn to treat the family out to dinner. It reminded me that we haven’t ate at Jade Dragon in a really long time. We went out to eat last week at a Chinese restaurant for my mom’s birthday dinner.
