Shanghai has no shortage of “contemporary European” restaurants. The city is remarkably receptive to new forms of culinary expression: open kitchens, ever-changing seasonal menus, ingredients that travel across borders, and concepts that need to be explained. The real difficulty, however, has never been creating a dish that looks complex. It is allowing diners to taste the ingredient, the cooking and the flavour itself once that complexity is in place.
