Simple and authentic

Well, who says cafeteria has to be well decorated, and each plate of food is highly charged with service taxes? The environment can be as simple with only roof coverings, while the food is as authentic as is it.

On the second day of reaching Penang island. My family and me went to this hokkien food "cafeteria" for lunch. It is opened beside State Chinese Association which could be rented from, with no decorations. The cafeteria served hokkien local food like, fried oyster, fried glass noodles, and etc. The food is not bad, but for the price... I don noe... Haha, cause I'm not paying.















From what I see, there is only 2 cooks in a kitchen, 1 cashier (the owner) and several waitresses who manage the whole cafeteria. But during peak hours, the food preparation turns slow but anyone that is there for the food, it worths our patience.

The cafeteria might be simple but did not loose the sensible of it. Bon appeti!!

Where the heat started...

All architecture and interior students know, a site visit cannot be ended without assignmentS. So... To make up with the site visit, my class received our final assignment which is design a green cafeteria for the Sungai Buloh Leprosy Settlement.

Sounds fun, but trust me, it is a symptom of sleepless nights...
