Here is the next clue: "HERE!....NOT HERE!" It might sound like I'm trolling but this is a really vital piece of information. Combine it with a bit of back tracking and it should prove useful. Good luck.
The answer is steam. You can see it coming out from the bowl of soup on the red table, below the red cloth of black Chinese characters on the left hand side of the picture.
Hint 1: somebody has mentioned something very close to it, as in seriously super close in the past few pages. Time for some backtracking. Referring to post 5 on page 48 where x3Jerry said 'Soup'
Hint 2: "HERE!....NOT HERE!" Referring to the ability of the object to be present then disappear after some time.
