试想坐在中国大城市后街的小吃摊贩中间是什么感觉?对于马来西亚出生的餐厅老板兼厨师催理露来说,中国餐饮文化经验肯定是小菜一碟。老顾客也对此感到愉悦快乐充满期待;或者用催自己的一句话说,觉得“迫不及待的想要新口味”渴望“永远记得最好的亚洲风味。”最近在澳大利亚悉尼Surry Hills开张的CHOW氏小吃酒吧,或许是催脑海中关于烹饪美学的最好诠释,它与传统的酒吧背景大相径庭。

由领先的餐厅内部设计工作室Giant Design和悉尼创意机构Babekühl共同设计,CHOW小吃酒吧力图创造一个非正式的中国式酒吧而又注入了北美风。由于催的设计思想没有先例可以参考,设计师综合考虑了英国酒吧,中国饭店,亚洲街边市场,街头食品推车和赌场。最终得出了一个综合性产物。

尽管不是太严重,它的内部还是反映出一种香港街景的视觉超载,通过精确计算亚洲电影和中国文化意景,等相关标志性图案绘画的使用情况,所有的努力都聚集在了空间的编制。恰当的一点是,饭店中的元素定义为:街头艺术图案混合着分层广告和墙上的电影海报。

进一步地,文化和艺术,从东方到西方,精细工艺和街头艺术,所有的这些全部在催自己组合的背景下以寂静,高抛光的内饰和所有亚洲风格的长凳并列,和暴露的石膏墙形成对比。JCB横梁的天花板和悬挂式照明给这间小饭馆以时尚的工业外观。其他细节,像20世纪90年代的时尚巴黎一样,橄榄绿的瓷砖内衬着酒吧(今天仍然可以在巴黎的地铁站,旅馆等找到类似),这些反映出催对法国实物的热爱,并且为空间增加了欢快的气氛。

What’s it like to sit amid hawkers and street stalls in the backstreets of a large Chinese city? For Malaysian-born restaurateur and chef Chui Lee Luk, a Chinese eating and drinking experience today should be punctuated by fun and games. Patrons should feel joy, happiness and anticipation; or in Chui’s own words, feel ''impatient for new tastes'' craving ''remembered favourite Asian flavours.'' The recently opened CHOW in Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia, seems to be the perfect response to all the gastronomic frolics Chui had in mind, set against an inviting, speakeasy backdrop.

Designed by the team from leading restaurant interiors design studio Giant Design and Sydney-based creative agency Babekühl, CHOW’s atmosphere recalls an informal Chinese bar but with a North American prohibition-era twist. As there was no historical precedent for what Chui had in mind design-wise, the designers turned to a number of influences for inspiration including British pubs, Chinese restaurants, Asian street markets, street food carts and gaming dens - and the result, is an amalgamation of it all.

Although not too overwhelming, the interiors do manage to reflect the visual overload of Hong Kong streetscapes, through the carefully calculated use of iconic images drawn from Asian cinema and the playful spin on Chinese cultural imagery, all contributing to the carefully woven fabric of the space. Case in point, and one of the defining elements in the restaurant, is the street art style graphics mixed with layered advertising and film posters applied to the walls.

Further cultural and artistic references from East and West, fine art and street art, all reflect Chui’s own mixed background seen in the hushed and highly polished interiors and all-Asian bench seating juxtaposed against contrasting exposed plaster walls, JCB beamed ceiling and suspension lighting which give the eatery a fashionable industrial look. Other details like the ornate Parisian early 1900s olive green tiling lining the bar (which can still be found in some Parisian metro stations and hotels) reflect Chui’s love for all things French and add unique charm to the space.
