I found a food stall among the modest houses lined up near the Yangon Central Railway Station. The area is densely packed with houses, but there are also some general stores and stalls that cater to the local residents. This stall was one of them. When I arrived at the stall, I found a boy sitting alone at a table.
There was a plate of noodles on the table. Since there are various kinds of noodles in Myanmar cuisine, such as mohinga, and so on, it was hard to tell what kind of dish it was just because there was no soup. In any case, the boy was eating.
The boy began to be puzzled by my sudden appearance, and when I stood beside him and looked at him, he stopped eating, contrary to my intention. It is embarrassing to be seen eating, so I can't help it. The boy was laughing as he poked his forehead with his finger. He seemed to think that as long as I was watching him, he would not be able to continue eating his meal, so I finished taking his picture and quickly left.
