好年華


因緣際會,認識了「小紅樓」的老闆Wilson。

原本從事財務策劃的他那次遊上海,路經衡山路時被一幢法式小洋樓吸引著,打聽之下才知道這幢建於1921年的三層建築,在1930年代被EMI百代唱片公司收購,成為周旋、白光等灌錄唱片的大本營,《義勇軍進行曲》也就是在這裡誕生。

得知當局想招商將它發展為餐廳後,Wilson與合夥人即提交建議書,將它變成主打法式Fusion料理的La Villa Rouge,將重現上世紀三十年代的上海風華視為己任。堅持Live Band每晚要選唱兩首《夜來香》或《玫瑰玫瑰我愛您》之類的老歌之外,「老上海之夜」更令先生士女重新披上長衫旗袍,回到那十里洋場的世界…

那年聖誕在上海渡過,由其喜愛在傍晚時分於遍植法國梧桐樹的衡山路散步,看看老房子。又想再去走一走了…

貴妃, 請問你係咪想去W君10月那個意大利飲食團?
