Very heartwarming but I wonder if there's such a thing as overexposure for the little cafe.

I was thinking the same thing, imagining the auntie working like mad in the kitchen but it's still better to have more business than too little business lah. Especially with London rental rates.

Still better than no exposure. Very painful to see elderly-owned businesses close down because they couldn't survive.

Thanks for sharing this. I was looking for the video of how business has changed since the first visit.

Yes! On one hand, maybe it's good that they can retire but on the other, there's a chance they can't afford to retire yet.

Haha even if their cafe is full of customers every lunch hour, I think barely enough to cover rent.

This is the food of the Malay community living in Sri Lanka, which looks like an interesting fusion of Malay and South Asian cuisine.

This is quite interesting bcos I know there's a Malay community in South Africa but never heard about the one in Sri Lanka.

Cool to see them still knowing some Malay language but the food definitely seems a lot more South Asian than Southeast Asian.
