DOOR DETAILS: A typical glass shop door with pull handle, treated with a stick-on 'frosting' that's chipped and peeling in places, with unreadably faded gold writing in English and Chinese. A small golden cat charm with a bell hangs on a red cord at the top of the door and jingles when it opens. LOCATION TYPE: A hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant specializing in dim sum and hot pot. LOCATION DETAILS: The door opens and you're immediately facing a fish tank containing a variety of large fish probably intended for eating and not for being pets.
Beyond the tank lies the definition of a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant, with a few big comfy booths surrounding the main seating area, which is dotted with smaller two-person tables and giant tables for family meals. At the back of the restaurant is the kitchen, with an open window so you could see the cook (if there were one) and a little bar area beside the cash register. The decorations are all in reds and golds, slightly mismatched in style, and the menu is in Chinese with short terribly translated English descriptors in brackets.
Everything is covered in a fine layer of dust, but it's all in excellent condition if you take a moment to wipe it down. You can practically smell the food cooking, if you pay attention. If you go into the kitchen and hope hard enough, food will appear, but you have to serve it yourself. FURTHER NOTES: The fish will be fine regardless, but there is a shaker of food.
