The Ramen Shop is my favorite subsection of the Flora Apartments drawing. It was so fun to create that I had to make it its own print. It's based off of a tiny, closet-sized restaurant that my mom, aunt and I ate cold sweet tofu at in Hong Kong. The shop was so small that there were only three stools lining a little bar in a narrow shop opening that you could squeeze into. There was only one person behind the counter with just enough room for them, a sink, and a big barrel of silken tofu. Yet, the tofu was so delicious and memorable... I wanted to recreate the cozy delicious vibe with this shop, which is much more spacious but still small and homey. Also, I wish mail was delivered like the system they have here!
