Breakfast in Pettah #3

Rasa and an assistant open their breakfast stall on the corner of Prince and 2nd Cross streets, serving tea and spicy beef and onion sandwiches. Pettah, September 2022. I love the blue wood often seen in these small wayside ’boutiques’. I’ve no idea why blue is popular. Even when I lived in Europe, a blue Ikea bookshelf instantly brought back memories of Mutwal and Kotahena, and I bought it.
