rss feedDragon and curry: Three weekend images seen while shopping in Seattle
If the words were spelled as Dragon and Curry, it would be a pleasant-sounding name for a law firm or high-end consulting shop.
Actually, the top image is the traditional Chinese character for dragon – or “long,” pronounced in the second tone (lower to higher) in Mandarin.
It’s on the side of the longtime Chinese restaurant, China Gate, where Bruce Lee liked going when he lived in Seattle. His wife told me that a few years ago during an interview in Seattle.
Later, on this license plate holder, I spotted another dragon character.
As I look at it, I realize the car bumper reflected my shoes and socks.
Finally, at a Chinese supermarket, I came across curry – including types popular in Singapore and Japan.
Those skinny green boxes hold Wasabi.
Which, if we add to Dragon and Curry would fit well with the law firm or consulting name theme: “Dragon, Curry and Wasabi. May I help you?”
Chinese mustard is next to the Wasabi. But I’ll leave that out of the name.
Dragon & Curry is a great name. Dragon, Curry & Wasabi too.
When I traveled to China, I ate deliciously refreshing Dragon’s Eye (Loong Ngon) while on a ferry, twice, to my parents’ home village. I am able to partake of this fruit (similar to lichee) in SF at a store owned by Cambodian Americans in Little Saigon.
