Breakfast heaven

From the outside, it looks like a fairly rickety shed...

But this tree-shaded, shrine-guarded construction houses two surprises.

The first is a talented lady who cooks up wonderful wanton mee. She occupies quite a small cooking area, and has at her disposal not a single horizontal shelf or surface (these are indeed rare throughout the establishment).
