This coffee shop is named Kowloon Ice Room, with 1970s-style decor, several old ceiling fans whirling languidly without hurry, posters in traditional Chinese characters on the walls, and digits full of a sense of the era, as if dragging one back to the past. The checkered floor tiles embedded in the ground were particularly vibrant under the warm yellow lighting.
Scattered customers lounged in their seats, leisurely sipping coffee and chatting idly about horse racing.
In fact, it was a Starbucks, but it had perfectly merged with the traditional Xiangjiang-style coffee shop, making it a quiet and comfortable place for friends to chat.
This place was introduced to him by policewoman He Baowen last time he came to Xiangjiang. That day at the coffee shop, He Baowen talked with Suming about famous snack shops around here. She introduced an impressive number of them like the back of her hand, and the one that left the deepest impression on Suming was this Kowloon Ice Room.
