Ah, waiter. We'll start with a Dream Come True. Then two orders of Natural Beauty, with a side dish of Spring Returns.

For the main course, make it Life Is Fun and finish with a dessert of Bosom Buddies.

At Winner vegetarian restaurant, every dish is romantic poetry and each concoction is a painting. The 50-odd dishes, all originals, run the gamut from Meadow Swing to Shredded Green Satin, and, straight from the boudoir, Riding On A Cloud.

Highly evocative, the name of every dish is a story in itself. For example, Bosom Buddies combines two unlike ingredients: pomelo skin with shredded dried bean curd. Green Valley is indeed a valley of green (broccoli) over a white landscape (bean curd paste).

As for Spring Returns, this is truly light and breezy, a meadow of vermicelli with coriander sprigs.

Winner, which opened at the end of last year, is in that labyrinth of staircases and escalators called China City. But, once found, it is never forgotten.
