A server places a tray of food, possibly for hot pot, on a table in a restaurant. On the tray are thin slices of raw meat hanging on a rack, noodles, a shellfish, and vegetables, as well as a steaming pot of broth on a burner. Two small bowls, one white and one red-rimmed, are next to the pot. Other dishes are arranged on the table. There are at least two people, one a seated diner and the other a server. The lighting is dim and purplish.
