a simple, unpretentious cafe.  tug in the MoT.  yet every small little things is a delight to your nostalgic discovery. 

when is the last time you see such a metal coated tray.  people from south east asia of your age will recognize these elements as nostalgic.  a bowl with a hen symbol, again thing of your childhood or teenager time.

a bottle of soy bean, not freshly made but they are thick and flavorful again a nostalgic taste.

and when you emptied your salad, you are again delighted to see the flower print metal bowl

let alone the super tin made spoon, yes not stainless steel or any solid one. these are the very light, fragile and made of tin. you remember all these too well....

memories flash back, to your hometown, to your childhood, to the things of the past, many of those may not be a pleasure remembrances but you were glad that all were made up before it was too late.

today you remember your family in your prayers.  your family in south east asia, your family that you may not see that often but yet you admit in such moments they have a special place in your heart.
