Dawn Buffet Line Nanning Before Opening

Indirect gray light from a rainy dawn bounces off pale walls, casting a muted glow across the breakfast room. A long buffet table stretches forward, holding rows of closed silver chafer lids. Beside them, small ceramic yogurt crocks sit in neat clusters, their surfaces catching faint reflections. Stainless steel pastry tongs rest on white napkins, arranged along the table edge. The damp of the rainy season appears as a subtle sheen on the polished table surfaces. In the background, a wooden chair stands slightly pulled out against the wall. One reflection of a window frame appears on the glossy chrome of a chafer handle.
