Fu He Hui is a haven of stillness amid the car horns and frantic traffic of Shanghai. We have slipped into a modern building in the former International Settlement and have been shown upstairs to the restaurant, where our quiet private room is decorated with an almost Japanese minimalism. The dark wooden table is uncovered, and a latticed screen divides us from other guests. There’s an orchid on a traditional side table here, a piece of understated contemporary art there. We order both of the day’s set menus so that we can taste as many dishes as possible.
福和慧素食餐厅(Fu He Hui)清幽静谧,隐身于上海车水马龙、喧嚣嘈杂的闹市区。我们悄然进入位于昔日公共租界(International Settlement)的一幢现代风格建筑后,服务员把我们带至楼上的素餐厅,这儿的幽静私密包间几乎清一色用日式极简主义风格打造。深色木质餐桌没铺任何桌布,格子图案的屏风把各个包间彼此隔开。包间里靠墙的中式案几上放着一束兰花,墙上则挂着一幅风格含蓄的当代艺术作品。我们点了两份当天的套餐,这样就可以尽可能尝遍美味佳肴。
