In his opinion, the culinary skills of the Japanese were very low, and they couldn't cook anything truly impressive.
After more than half an hour.
"Please taste, first is the appetizer, Australian scallop and shrimp paste with shell."
Looking at Lin Yidao, who had finished presenting all his dishes, Eishi Tsukasa gently nodded to him, then served his own appetizer.
Although they had just finished a set meal not long ago, the WGO executive officers were specially trained and had very large appetites. Such a small portion of dishes could not fill their stomachs at all.
It could be said that now was the optimal state for judging.
"Eishi Tsukasa, who can transform even convenience store ingredients into magnificent delicacies, what kind of deliciousness will he create this time?"
Looking at the appetizer in front of her, Rantobi couldn't help but swallow, then used her dining fork to roll up the dish and put it into her mouth. It was a portion that could be finished in one bite.
"Ah!~"
"Slow-cooked Australian scallop paired with cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, kiwi, and shrimp paste, seasoned with olive oil and salt. The shrimp paste serves to increase cohesion and also provides a fresh flavor."
Looking at the appetizer placed in a scallop shell on the plate, it was overall a combination of Australian scallops, shrimp paste, fruit bits, and Australian scallops, drizzled with a special sauce, with a unique and very appetizing flavor!
"It's also a sweet and sour taste. This sauce has the aroma of wine, and besides that, it should only have sugar and butter. The taste is very clean and pure."
"The ingredients are extremely fresh, so vibrant they feel right before your eyes. Coupled with the sauce, when savored carefully, it truly is full of flavor!"
Each person received two scallops, and the appetizer portion was not large. The three judges were still somewhat unsatisfied, but compared to this, they were even more eager for the dishes to come.
"The second dish..."
Again, it was a series of delicious dishes, each with its own unique characteristics. Overall, there was still nothing to fault, allowing one to most directly feel the inherent vitality of the ingredients.
This feeling was wonderful, like being in nature, communicating with various ingredients. When he came back to his senses, Eishi Tsukasa had already brought up the main course he had meticulously cooked.
The main course is the soul of a set meal. If the main course's flavor cannot overpower the preceding dishes, then the set meal is poorly arranged. Therefore, many chefs, in order to highlight the main course's flavor, will slightly reduce the flavor of the accompanying side dishes.
Of course, reducing does not mean making it unpalatable; it is more to highlight the subsequent dishes, allowing them to reach a perfect state, thereby leaving a deep impression on the diners.
For high-end restaurants, leaving a deep impression on customers is the most important thing.
"Excellent, as expected of Eishi Tsukasa's cooking."
Rantobi said admiringly, such a delicious and distinctive dish, perhaps no one could make it except Eishi Tsukasa. And Eishi Tsukasa's next dish was the main course in his set meal.
This was the key to determining the outcome of this competition.
After all, the cooking skills of these two people in front of them were not far apart, and each dish had its own merits, so it was not easy to judge who was superior. The main course, as the soul of the set meal, was naturally the key to victory or defeat.
"Please enjoy, Seafood Medley, BLUE."
With a slight bow, Eishi Tsukasa presented the main course, then stood by, ready to explain at any moment.
"Finally, the main course? If the side dishes can be this good, how delicious will the main course be!?"
Looking at the magnificent dish in front of her, Rantobi couldn't help but swallow. Even Lin Yidao, who had finished his cooking early and was chatting with people at the edge of the audience seats, turned his gaze over.
Seafood Medley, as the name suggests, is a seafood dish.
A rich aroma assailed them. This was a dish composed of eighteen different sizes of seafood. Normally, the taste of this dish should be very complex because many ingredients were used.
However, the taste of the dish at this moment was surprisingly uniform.
"How can such a chaotic dish be delicious!"
