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.
福和慧素食餐廳(Fu He Hui)清幽靜謐，隱身於上海車水馬龍、喧囂嘈雜的鬧市區。我們悄然進入位於昔日公共租界(International Settlement)的一幢現代風格建築後，服務員把我們帶至樓上的素餐廳，這兒的幽靜私密包間幾乎清一色用日式極簡主義風格打造。深色木質餐桌沒鋪任何桌布，格子圖案的屏風把各個包間彼此隔開。包間裏靠牆的中式案几上放著一束蘭花，牆上則掛著一幅風格含蓄的當代藝術作品。我們點了兩份當天的套餐，這樣就可以儘可能嚐遍美味佳餚。
