Weekend Reflections: le canard d'or

Reflections on the floor and in a large mirror at le canard d'or ('the golden duck') Chinese restaurant. As they go, this isn't a bad one. Most Chinese restaurants have morphed into not very good Japanese places nowadays because sushi is in and unfortunately it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a decent Chinese place... The orange peel duck was okay! More Weekend Reflections are this way.

Des reflets sur le sol et dans le long miroir du restaurant chinois le canard d'or situé rue des réservoirs. La plupart des restos chinois sont devenus des "sushidromes" très moyens pour suivre la mode et ça devient difficile de bien manger chinois. Ici, le canard aux écorces d'orange était tout à fait correct ! Les Reflets du Weekend, c'est par ici !

  6. Interesting observation about Chinese restaurants morphing into Japanese. I haven't observed that, though I do see some restaurants offering foods from several different countries.

  7. Ah, a Chinese place. Now I get it. Most allegedly Chinese food here is fried junk (and so becoming quintessentially American).

  8. This looks like a classy place. I've noticed that a lot of Asian restaurants these days offer dishes from several Asian countries.

  15. Very interesting. I like all th chairs in the previous post.
    We are at the ranch for a few days. We are actually house sitting but we will be hiking and looking at stuff. We have to feed the dogs and cats but best of all we have a bottle baby (calf) to feed and play with. MB

  17. The duck may not be the best, but the floor shine is! Restaurants here are also trying to be "trendy" and forget what made them good.

  18. Looove the reflections Ciel, not sure about the 'just ok duck' :) We have a Chinese restaurant at our local shops that people come miles for, its not posh or anything.. just excellent food.

  19. Une enseigne de restauration asiatique, quel endroit parfait pour trouver de magnifique reflets... J'espère que la nourriture est aussi bonne que le decor brille, ma chère...

    Bon appétit !

  20. Lovely reflections in both floor and mirror. Really good Chinese restaurants are rare and to be treasured. Not noticed the morphing into Japanese sushi restaurants in the Midwest, but trends are slow to arrive here. We do have a new sushi place in town, but it only serves Japanese food.

  22. We have a huge population of Chinese immigrants here so it is very easy to find real, excellent, Chinese food.
