How did I eat my lunch today?

I was  visiting a temple in Thailand.   It was a very common place. It was not a grand temple.   It was a small temple located near the train station.   And I didn't know why I liked it very much. 

There was a coffee shop nearby.   The coffee shop was big and empty.   I was the only one to visit the coffee shop.   I had a cup of Thailand tea in the coffee shop.  The coffee shop lady was wearing a warm smile, which made the place even better.  The tea leaves are different from other places. And the tea was sweetened,   it was quite exotic and suitable for such a mood. 

Afterwards, I visited the temple.   There was a vendor selling noodles inside the temple. And they were about to close because the time is already three o'clock, which was not a lunch hour.

I asked the lady boss,  "can I buy some noodles?"

She opened her eyes wide and looked at me.   I was wondering what was the meaning.   

And then she said suddenly,  "Noodles? Ok!" 

She started cooking at once. 

There was only one table and one chair outside the temple.  It was quite an open area before the temple. 

I was sitting alone and watching the sun shining on the ground.   

Within a few minutes, the noodles were ready.  It was one of my best noodles in my lifetime.   

Actually, it was  plain noodles,   with some pork meat floating on it. Maybe it was due to my good mood,  I found it very  pleasant.  It was a special meal yesterday.  It can hardly be forgotten.  So I noted it down.

When I was eating,  I thought I was eating better than a king.  A king can never come to such a small place,  and a king can never enjoy such solitary entertainment.

How come my mood is so wonderful ?  

It made me think for a while.
