Teh-O-Peng

I was in Mersing, waiting for the bus bound for Johor Bahru. Since I had plenty of time, I decided to go to a coffeeshop for iced tea and to do some light reading. This man was having lunch - Bak Kut Teh, I believe - with his friend several tables away from me and each time I lifted up my head from my book, I couldn't help noticing the glass of teh-o-peng (iced tea, in the Hokkien dialect) on their table which seemed to stand out due to the rather strong backlighting.

 

Was attracted to the lighting and decided to sneak in a few shots using LiveView. Turned this shot into B&W but kept the glass of tea in colour to kind of reflect 'the mood' then.
