This…
The audience was dumbfounded.
“It’s just a piece of chicken. Is it really that good?” “Why is he crying? Is it really too delicious?”
“I believe it.”
“Sisters, are we going to Prosperous Restaurant together? We’ll have two plates of braised chicken each.’
The judges sat in their seats, eagerly anticipating the braised young chicken.
Before the dishes were placed properly, they couldn’t wait to pick up their chopsticks and pick up the chicken pieces to taste.
The sweet smell of chestnuts mixed with the rich garlic fragrance melted in their mouths. Strangely, these two seemingly incompatible flavors balanced and complemented each other, enhancing the overall aroma. The moment the smooth and tender chicken touched the tip of his tongue, it was vividly reflected. The slight numbness of the pepper made the whole body tremble for this delicacy. In this distinctly layered combination of sweet, spicy, numbing, salty, and fresh flavors, there was also a new taste, which was elegance.
It was really hard to imagine that a dish like braised young chicken, which was typically oily and greasy, could have such unique characteristics. On a closer look, the chicken that had been braised for so long wasn’t red with soy sauce, but a natural golden brown like prawns that turned red and golden when heated.
The judges, as if a gust of wind had blown away the remnants of clouds, quickly finished the chicken on their plates and then asked, “Chef Wang, how did you cook these chicken pieces?”
Even though the LED screen played his cooking process in all directions without any blind spots, identifying all the various seasonings amidst the dazzling array of ingredients wasn’t easy.
Chef Wang answered seriously, “White wine.”
The Boiled spotted prawns were also made with white wine.
“I see. You’re really amazing to be able to come up with this method.”
After a unanimous agreement, the judges gave the same score, which was 9.8.
The moment the score was announced, the entire audience was in an uproar.
“F*ck, he’s too strong!”
Those who watched many food shows knew that a dish had a total score of 10 points. It was already very impressive to get 9-5 points.
Except for the rare case of judges having unique tastes, occasionally giving abnormally high scores to their preferred dishes, they had almost never seen unanimous scores of 9.8.
The four judges gave 9.8 points, so the average score was 9.8.
Unless He Jing’s dish was unbelievably good that she could achieve a fantastic score like 9-9 or even 10, she was essentially set to lose.
“What’s the point of eating this fried chicken? It’s definitely going to taste worse.”
“Using young chicken as fried chicken, and frying it for so long, she’s really creative. She doesn’t have any skills at all. I’m not watching anymore. Let’s go to Prosperous Restaurant and make a reservation now.”
“Indeed, this fried chicken doesn’t look good.”
When the host picked up the fried chicken that was divided into four plates, his expression was also difficult to describe.
To be honest, compared to Chef Wang’s perfectly colored braised young chicken with intricate carvings and white wine, this fried chicken was really ugly.
He Jing probably didn’t cut the chicken steak evenly. Some were big, others small. When stacked together, it looked like two pieces of expired meat bones. Only the sauce sprinkled on it looked slightly better.
However, the host had a professional demeanor. Despite his inner disdain, he didn’t show it. He only used a relatively gentle phrase to describe it, “Let me see what this standard fried chicken steak cooked by Chef He tastes like!”
The judges watched the fried chicken being served and couldn’t help but look at each other. They looked at each other in dismay. Their expressions were indescribable.
A more experienced judge suppressed his disdain and said, “I’ll go first..”
