Features: A restaurant is not an ordinary place, nor a place one has to go. But once you're there, your mood changes. Eating is a pure desire; in the moment you open your mouth, an undeniable urge is revealed. They are places where you can go to change your mood. Every restaurant is like this—a glass city of softness, scattered in every corner of the city. It allows you to safely land in different moods. Today, in the rigid city, we open our mouths to savor the enchanting and varied delicacies. This book about eating does not discuss the philosophy of eating, nor does it tell you about the profound history of Chinese cuisine. Instead, the "pleasures of the mouth and tongue" in the city have become a spiritual journey for the body's senses. In the details of decorating the environment, secrets are revealed. A hundred pairs of cups, plates, and bowls wait for a heart-to-heart connection, and as they pass over your taste buds, they listen to your response.
