Features: With the of life and the improvement of living standards, the frequency of hosting home banquets has greatly decreased. Due to busyness, due to leisure, due to gathering with high-profile friends, or due to wanting solitude—many seemingly contradictory reasons can lead us in the same direction. No wonder restaurants in Shanghai are always so bustling. However, although restaurants are places for eating, fewer people now dine simply for the sake of eating. Dining for ambiance, for atmosphere, for a sense of place—these are also important. The same dish, prepared differently and served in different settings, can evoke entirely different feelings. From the large plate chicken at a northern frontier post, one can taste the grandeur of the desert; from the Kung Pao chicken in the loess plains of Central China, one experiences straightforwardness; and from the clear broth of a mother hen in the Jiangnan region, one can sense the soft, melodic whispers of Wu dialect… Therefore, for modern restaurants, decoration has become as crucial as culinary design in determining success or failure.
