Chapter 239

The double date this time couldn't be said to be a success, but it could be considered a successful conclusion.

Although Yang Hua and Lu Yao are a bit worrying, they are not bad people, and Bai Renzong still trusts them.

And as the time came to mid-April, Bai Renzong was also preparing for his next visit abroad.Because he will hold a wedding with Han Jiayi at the beginning of May, so this visit to foreign stores has to be completed in the middle of the month.

Between this, their destination this time is Thailand.

First go to the nearby places in Asia, and then consider the distant places in Europe and the United States.The only fly in the ointment is that none of them can speak Thai, but they can roughly communicate in English.

Before going, Bai Renzong also did his homework as usual, and then obtained the shop-exploring strategy from Adam, there are three shops in total.It was divided into two days to complete the exploration, and the rest of the time was left to them to find it by themselves.

After getting off the plane, the four of them came out of the airport.

"Shiver, Thai guy!" Wang Bei smiled proudly pointing at the air in front of him, "Our old Bai is here!"

"Tsk, what are you talking about. I'm here to visit the store, not to collect protection fees." Bai Renzong knocked on her head and reprimanded, "Hold on the video camera, ready to broadcast!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Renzong took Han Jiayi's hand, and after Wang Bei started the live broadcast, he introduced: "Hi everyone, this time we came to Thailand. Thai food also belongs to a relatively distinctive cooking culture, and It is not heavily influenced by foreign cuisine culture like R, but has its own unique style. Speaking of Thai food, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?"

Barrage: "Thai ladyboy!" "Tom Yum Kung." "Curry."

"How come there are still people talking about Thai ladyboys?" Bai Renzong rolled his eyes, "Thai 'food'! Food! Block the one who said Thai ladyboys."

Immediately, Bai Renzong said seriously: "Yes, the friend who said curry is very serious. We all know that India is a relatively famous country for eating curry, so why is curry the representative dish of Thailand?"

"Actually, Thai curry and Indian curry basically appeared at about the same time, so it's hard to say who borrowed from whom. But Thai curry is unique, while Indian curry has many 'variants', like R's. Curry evolved from Indian curry."

"The difference between the two is mainly reflected in the spices added. The raw materials of curry are curry paste or curry powder, but the spices used in Indian curry are mostly turmeric and pepper, because turmeric can stimulate the aroma of pepper. But at that time The price of Thai pepper is very high, so they used another combination, galangal and lemongrass instead, and then slowly evolved various combinations. For example, red curry and green curry... In terms of taste, it is similar to Indian curry It's two different things."

On the way to the restaurant, Bai Renzong did science popularization for the audience and maintained the popularity of the live broadcast room until they arrived at the door of a restaurant recommended by Chef Adam.

"Bo.lan..." Bai Renzong pointed to the name of the store and said, "I don't know what it means, anyway, let's go in and try it."

But after all, it is a Michelin restaurant, and Thailand itself is also a tourist attraction. The menu here is not only in Thai, but also in English, and with pictures, you can barely see what the dishes are.

"Here is this, is it Tom Yum Kung?" "And this, is this green curry chicken?" "And this, Thai style lemon sea bass." "Curry shrimp, mango sticky rice, deep-fried basil pork chop, green papaya salad , Thai fried noodles, Thai snack platter..." After ordering a meal, I finally ordered every dish on the entire menu.

"Oh, it's good to come to a developing country." Wang Bei put down the menu and said happily, "This consumption level is much cheaper than R's, and it's only over 2000 after ordering so much. Let's eat a little at R's It's only 2000 yuan."

"Okay, wait for the food." Bai Renzong said, turning to Han Jiayi, "Mumu, what's your favorite Thai food?"

"Green curry chicken." Han Jiayi held her chin and smiled sweetly at him, "I also have it in my shop."

"Yeah, yes." Bai Renzong nodded, pressing her little head, "I'll see if it's my family's Mumu's delicious curry, or their authentic Thai curry."

Soon, the food came up one after another, and the table was full.

"Michelin's signature feature." Bai Renzong picked up the plate and showed it, "One dish is worth one bite."

"I think we should eat at street restaurants. I don't think I'll be full if I order just one dish." Wang Bei said sadly, "Looking at it now, it's quite expensive for a table of more than 2000 yuan. gone."

"In short, let's start tasting." Bai Renzong said, and tasted the green curry first.

"How is it?" Han Jiayi asked nervously from the side.

"To be honest." Bai Renzong looked at Han Jiayi and smiled slightly, "There is a reason why their family is only one star."

Immediately, his face collapsed, and he turned to the camera and said: "It's very ordinary, just a regular green curry. It contains curry powder, galangal, lemongrass, green pepper and coconut milk. It's nothing special. It's a very authentic dish Thai-style green curry chicken, the taste of the chicken inside is the same, there is nothing that melts in the mouth, it is similar to the chicken wings you cook at home."

At this time, Bai Renzong suddenly noticed the trembling restaurant manager beside him.

"No, what is he shaking here?" Bai Renzong pointed to the manager and asked Han Jiayi curiously.

Han Jiayi communicated with the manager in English, and the manager spoke a few words in English with a Thai accent.

"He said he was afraid that you would pick their star." Han Jiayi said mysteriously.

Barrage: "Good guy, has this been recognized?" "Has Lao Bai gone to Thailand?"

Bai Renzong also felt a little helpless in his heart. He knew that it was the incident at R Ben and Niuya that made him famous in the Michelin circle, and everyone was afraid that he would say bad things.

This kind of situation is actually not uncommon, and many influential gourmets abroad have had similar experiences.

"I'm not a judge sent by Michelin, how could I pick another star?" Bai Renzong frowned, "Tell him, I'm here to review, not to find fault."

After Han Jiayi translated, the other party smiled awkwardly, then continued to stand by the side, staring at them with wide-eyed eyes full of horror.

Barrage: "The unlucky guy's déjà vu." "It feels like he's going to cry from fright."

"Oh, forget it." Bai Renzong ignored the manager and continued: "In short, it's a regular Thai-style green curry, nothing special, but it's not bad. It's a one-star Michelin level. There is a gap with my Mumu."

Speaking of this, Bai Renzong pinched Han Jiayi's ear: "Mumu's green curry has green pepper, basil, garlic and lemon leaves in it, which is a completely different combination. To be honest, I think it's better than this, and the taste is better." It is mild, but this Thai curry has a strong taste and aroma, and Chinese people may not be used to it. It varies from person to person, maybe some people will like it, and then try others.”

But when he tasted the sixth way, Bai Renzong waved his hand.

"I'm sorry, I can't eat any more." Bai Renzong looked hopeless, "It's not that it's not delicious, but this Thai food... everything has the sour, sweet, and salty taste."

As he spoke, Bai Renzong showed the dishes in front of him: "Curry crab, lemon perch, green curry chicken, and this tom yum kung, mango sticky rice, green papaya salad...they all have the same taste, sweet and sour. , I eat pantothenic acid in my stomach."

"Thai food is like this." Han Jiayi pursed her lips happily, "You can eat this snack platter, this fried skewer is not sour."

"But the sauce it sent was sour..." Wang Bei reminded in a low voice.

"Then eat without sauce!" Han Jiayi said fiercely, and pulled the snack platter in front of Bai Renzong.

"Then let's make a summary first." Bai Renzong glanced at the dishes in front of him, "Thai food, if you mix so many dishes in a pile of meals, it still tastes very good. The aroma is very strong and the taste is also very rich. But if the table is full of Thai food, it's a little...too sour."

Speaking of this, the manager next to him seemed to find that Bai Renzong was not satisfied with his performance, and immediately burst into tears.

"No? What are you doing? Why are you crying?" Bai Renzong looked at the manager in astonishment and asked.

The other party chattered for a while, and Han Jiayi translated: "He said that this restaurant is his painstaking effort. He has worked here for four years and witnessed this restaurant become a Michelin restaurant. He also said that there are seven members of his family, parents, in-laws Parents, wife, and two children are all supported by him alone, and they count on this job, and he really doesn't want this store to close down..."

Barrage: "Good guy, I'm afraid it's like this." "A sense of sight of a professional counterfeiter." "The difference is that the general professional counterfeiters have been kicked out of the store, but no one dared to kick out Lao Bai. "

"I'm a gourmet, why do I look like a professional counterfeiter?" Bai Renzong frowned, "Tell him, I will tell the truth, I will tell the advantages and disadvantages, and I will not judge their restaurants indiscriminately. I will say it again , I, no, yes, Michelin's review! His behavior will actually affect the service quality of this restaurant!"

Han Jiayi patiently explained to the manager, but the manager finally stopped crying and stood aside without speaking.

"Where did you talk about?" Bai Renzong sighed, lost all interest, and said impatiently: "Oh, I'm very upset to be interrupted. Let's just make a summary. The Thai style of this store is quite good. Authentic, but that’s all. There is nothing outstanding other than authentic, and the chef is not particularly good. It is just a standard one-star Michelin, which belongs to the category of value for money. I want to experience Thai style , you can come and have a taste."

Speaking of this, Bai Renzong waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, everyone, let's eat."

While eating Bai Renzong, he muttered uncomfortably: "It seems that from now on, I will have to disguise myself when I visit the store. It's really troublesome to be recognized..."
