lion, front view

Here is a front view of one of the lions from yesterday.

a roar from the past

Back when I was growing up (I'm dating myself now) Chinese food isn't like it is today. It was all pu-pu platters, everything fried and mostly bright pink with pineapple. The drink menus were huge, all the drinks had funny cups -- who can forget scorpion bowls? Most of those restaurants have died away, but not Cathay Pacific in North Quincy. Even the outside of the restaurant reminds you of the old days. Here is the golden lions that are in the front of the restaurant.
