Frames from the market and the flame.

We keep few pictures, taken slowly. The morning catch, the wok mid lift, a single seat held at the counter.

The long jade wall of the dining room in low light
Flame rising from the wok at the pass
A whole steamed fish ready to leave the kitchen
A clay pot of aged tea poured at the table
Morning greens laid out from the market
A single seat at the kitchen counter
Crisp skinned roast goose resting on the block
Hands lifting the wok above the flame
The master soy pot kept simmering at the stove
The quiet entrance behind a plain door
Live seafood and roots brought in at dawn
Tea leaves measured for the table pairing

The rest is best tasted in person.
