Juicy red tomatoes, potatoes, fat-thin circular earth coated the outside, and soft white of lemongrass body, the garlic bun or between a clump of green vegetables is a natural basketball red chilli color only.
All colors are vivid, crowded together to form a picture of calm, smooth as everyday life.
