| Dining out is an essential element of cosmopolitan living all over the world, particularly in modern China. The new Chinese society is constantly on the search for new and hip dining experiences and the restaurant trade must keep pace. The 16 restaurants featured in Hip Dining in China demonstrate the changing trends and cross cultural influences that have emerged in recent times and the convergence of ideas from the east and the west. Buffalo Club, for example, is a restaurant in a lush tropical setting that draws its influences from China, India and other parts of Asia. Made in China is located on the first floor of the Grand Hyatt in Beijing and is a skilful mix of clean, modern lines coupled with intricate and decorative traditional touches. All of the projects presented in Hip Dining in China break the customs and restrictions of conventional restaurant design and venture into the wildly creative and bold. |
