At Hana Chen's community diner, no guest ever goes hungry in this delicious and heartwarming novel about food and found family'Dazzling... seasoned with charm and wit' D.K. FurutaniTucked away in a quiet alley off Carpenter Street, Hana Chen runs an unnamed community diner. In the aftermath of the Japanese Occupation of Borneo, when food is scarce, the diner is a refuge for people as they slowly rebuild their lives.Hana provides a seemingly endless supply of white rice, no matter how few grains she sprinkles into her mother’s donabe cooking pot. In turn, she asks her customers to bring enough ingredients to feed five people, so she can make whatever homecooked meals their hearts desire.As Hana listens to her guests’ stories, she says little about herself. Her mother has been repatriated to Japan, and she’s estranged from her wealthy Chinese father. But Hana’s heart is softened by Kim Choo, a young girl who is the star of the local opera troupe. As Hana begins to trust in the community around her, she discovers that the diner will always be a place of sanctuary – and perhaps love too.

In this dazzling follow-up to Early Mornings at the Laksa Café, Janet Tay has once again concocted the perfect recipe for mouthwatering fiction, this time seasoning the story with her own trinity root mix of charm, wit and benevolence. Much like Hana’s customers, readers of Late Nights at the Donabe Diner will find much to savour in Tay’s flavourful prose, stepping away from the novel’s final lines replete with nourishment, and best of all, restored by joy and wonder
