Urban Restaurants in China (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789812451248)

Arguably, no cities are more urban than the exploding cities of China, with the likes of Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing. With urbanisation comes cross-fertilisation. Not only do the urban life and economic opportunities encourage a colorful influx of immigrants and expatriates, (thus encouraging the rise of restaurants offering the cuisines of the world), but previous genres have begun a crossbreeding, as reflected in Urban Restaurants in China. Against this urban setting, there is also a rapid renewal of past concepts. Of recent year, there has been a rapid rise of teahouses. Finished with interiors and drinks catering to the younger generation. Whether you are seeking the charm of old Shanghai in new form or the new sensibility of a traditional Chinese Restaurant, Urban Restaurants in China takes you through the Epicurean reductionism, maximalist, expressionist and existentialist.
