Felt like I was dining on a period drama stage set . The restaurant was after all , located in a very visible , vantage , prime location , and the extra elevated platform was a clever touch indeed .
Which is a good thing really since I like all things retro .
Bathed in yellow , the lights although modern halogens , recreated the time when people used to dine under one single yellow fluorescent bulb . Back in the old days .
Found ourselves a space right in front of the entrance where they placed one enamel pot full of cutleries on our table . These are made in China , not those expensive ones imported from Europe by rich Nyonya families .
Strange how even the make of pot can stir that melancholic effect in us , but it does .
