First person if he is the one narrating the story, for example: I was in the cafe. It would be third person omniscient if someone else was narrating the story for Suyuan, for example: Suyuan was at the cafe.

It really depends, because any of these points of view could be used appropriately.
I would say that the best type of narration would be first person or third person limited, given that Suyuan doesn't know everything about everyone, so she cannot be omniscient.
You would either write: Suyuan thought that.. or I think that... (referring to Suyuan).
