Like many of your other posters ...Stephen a big Fan<br />Like many of your other posters Moon Gate was a special place Me and my wife always went to their restaurant for our anniversary and did so for 11 years then one anniversary there wasn't a Moon Gate I cant recall where we spent that anniversary nor any since I have searched long and hard to find a restaurant that matched the coziness and friendly atmosphere of this establishment.<br />The made one dish and you might call it my Anniversary dish it was cubes of duck in a sweat sauce with pineapple and green bell peppers. But for the life of me I cant recall the name of the dish and If you could help me with the name perhaps find the dish even though It wont be the same without the ambience?<br />If any one can remember the name of the dish or perhaps a place that makes such a dish, and you had the time to send me the name of the dish I would be very greatfull I have searched long and hard and with out the name I have been privy to many fine dishes but not the one that Im looking for. If you can find it in your heart and you have the time my address is Pattrson@gmail.com (note the loss of my ‘e’ in Patterson some one beat me to it.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348699920515083840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30031194.post-69408968464921347352017-06-04T19:09:11.897-08:002017-06-04T19:09:11.897-08:00Thank you for stopping by and sharing your memorie...Thank you for stopping by and sharing your memories of the Moon Gate.

The Moon Gate was a landmark and most everyone I know from back then has good memories of the restaurant, Phil and Soora, the good food and the pleasant times inside.

They were making probably a TV show and did a scene two or three times where a Chinese looking man was pulling Dick, who was seated in a Rickshaw. Always the restaurant was in the background of the shot, probably trying to pass Dick off as being somewhere overseas.<br /><br />Then in the final scene they filmed, Dick was simulating pulling the Rickshaw, and the Chinese man was sitting in the Rickshaw.

Dosan stood against heinous Japanese rulers and became an integral part of the provisional Korean government in China until Korea was liberated in 1945 as Japanese surrendered to the U.S. I also read Williow Tree Shade, the Susan Ahn story, and learned a lot about Dosan's family.<br /><br />I am sure it was very difficult for Dosan's family without man of the house during the time. I time to time wondered if his children realize how proud we all are.

I felt like a traveling early 20 century when I reading a book. Especially, pictures are really evidences that I felt like I stayed with them. You will proud of being one of the his family members because Do San was the greatest person in Korean history. I also realize that she was married to Ray Buffum was true too. It was honor to know a lot of real stories. Please say thank you all your family members and God bless you. <br />Pointzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304620753059250243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30031194.post-58921382751244989512011-08-14T17:30:30.604-08:002011-08-14T17:30:30.604-08:00Thank you, Larry.

She was married to our great uncle Ray (Charles Raymond) Buffum. We have been researching our great uncle and his scriptwriting career, I live in Los Angeles and we were trying to find Ray's grave (now know that it is in Tonapah not Burbank), and discovered his marriage to Soorah Ahn. Would love to hear from anyone in the family who would like to share memories of our great Uncle whom we never knew.

When they'd brig us kids along, Soorah ALWAYS made a big deal and led us to the table with the big wicker chair. I remember feeling like the king when I sat in that chair. Thanks for posting this.
