A ROOM WITH A VIEW, DAINTY, AND JOY. Beautiful view: a conservatory with garden view bathed in sunshine; lazy afternoon hours under the phoenix trees; or simply watch the drips of falling rain making traces on the window… Gourmet food: a feast for the eyes and taste bud, lingering aftertaste evolves into sweet memories… Romantic evening: 199 lighted candles, flickering in romantic music, what is more intoxicating, wine or joy? WISH-WUTONG, fulfill everything that YOU WISH.

When a restaurant lists its food’s calorie content on the menu, provides hairstyling products in its bathroom, and asks how “vogue” it is on its customer survey, it’s a sure bet that there’s now yet another restaurant stalking the city’s moneyed swish set. Even for the eminently unswishy among us, though, there’s a lot to love here. The interior is a testament to superb restaurant design: open and airy in the day, swanky and intimate in the evening. The hybrid Western-Chinese menu—printed wall hanging style on a fun yet wholly impractical scroll—is happily free of disappointments, with a regrettably small portion of cod in a creamy soup of pumpkin (¥28), an artfully presented gongbao jiding (in our defense, ordered on our waitress’s recommendation; ¥48), and an exquisitely smooth peanut and chocolate flavored bingsha (¥30) serving as highlights. Chilly bathrooms and a couple of inexplicable service delays detracted somewhat from the experience, but were, fortunately, the only off notes in a harmonious evening of dining.
