although i’m poor and begging from shared room in hdb flat in bedok, i’m very fussy about meal presentation on table. must be either real light colored wood or white marble. plates and bowls must be fine bone china. silverware must be silver or stainless steel. chopsticks can be bamboo or wood but no plastic please. meals must be presentable, proportionate portions to plate and bowl, properly arranged, artfully garnished, colorful array, purposefully stacked for freshness and heat retention. but if go to hawker center very chin chai. anyhow humtum will do, but i’ll clean up table with wet wipes after returning tray and throwing trash away.
