The cake container on the coffee shop table was common place in the 1950's and 1960's. It was a special glass cover actually without a bottom. Cakes or kuish were placed on the table and the square cover covered them. When a customer wanted to take a piece of kuih, he could open half the lid..
This was really an excellent way to keep flies away. The sharp eyed towkay neo could also see how many cakes had been eaten from her counter.
The 4 eggs on a small deep plate was nice as a welcoming decor., In the 1960's a hardboiled egg was only 20 cents.
Do I have a tale to tell?
