壹苹派生活美语　每一口都是惊喜！来一顿「无」光晚餐吧

　　For typical restaurants, food presentation is extremely important. The appearance of meals can increase or decrease customers’ appetites. So what happens when guests can’t see the food? At dark dining restaurants, customers learn about the menu and place their orders before being guided to the dining room. Even though they have a general idea of the food that will be served, customers can have difficulty identifying each dish during the meal. With each bite, they will discover new surprises as they try to guess the food in the dark.

　　对于典型的餐厅来说，食物的摆盘非常重要。餐点的外观可以增加或减少顾客的食欲。那么当客人看不到食物时会发生什么事？在无光餐厅，顾客会在被引导到用餐处之前先了解菜单并点餐。尽管顾客对供应的菜色有大致的了解，但他们在用餐过程中可能很难识别每道菜。当他们尝试在黑暗中猜测食物时，每咬一口都会发现新的惊喜。
