Another early morning at the clinic. After my appointment, we needed breakfast before Buddha Boy heads to work. Since we were near Chinatown, we ended up at one of our go-to places, Gold Stone Bakery & Restaurant 金石餐廳餅店.
Growing up, whenever my aunt and uncle babysat my little brother and I (pretty much every weekend), this large Chinatown cafe was our canteen. We visited so frequently to the point that all the servers knew us by name, what we wanted to order and what our preferences were. Decades later, the little girl became a fat woman, and some old time familiar faces still recognized me, only these days, there's a fat man accompanying me, Buddha Boy.
Owned by a Chinese family from Macau, did you know that Gold Stone 金石 originally started in Richmond?
