Chapter 796 The Extraordinary Cantonese Cuisine

After learning the latest information, Ma Fu nodded, and then the waiter put down the dish and went out.

Ma Fu pondered for a while, then stretched out his chopsticks to the new dish - white-cut chicken.

I picked up the chicken and inspected it carefully. The chicken looked very full and smooth, and the juice was very rich. It seemed that the selection of ingredients was very good.

There are three kinds of dipping sauces on the plate. It seems that the hotel has paid close attention to some details. Ma Fu lightly clicked on the dipping sauces and started to taste them.

Mmm~!

Not bad!

Authentic flavor, smooth skin and smooth meat!
It is a rare good dish, and it tastes very comfortable, but compared with the Sunshine Mango Chicken in Yipin Dian, the meat quality is still a bit inferior.

The firmness of the chicken is a huge gap, and the flavor lacks a hint of mango and a touch of medicinal aroma, which makes people feel a bit regretful.

But this is also the feeling of people like Ma Fu who have tasted Sunshine Mango Chicken. For others, this chicken is already considered top-notch.

Just like the guests in the private room next door, they are full of praise for the freshly served plain chicken.

"It's so delicious. It's even better than the plain-cut chicken we cook in Thailand. Especially the chicken from this three-yellow chicken is really much better than the local chicken in Thailand."

"Look at the chicken skin of this three-yellow chicken. It's so yellow that it's soaked in oil. It feels incredible. It must have been specially fed, right?"

"The quality of the meat is nothing to say, it's very soft and tender, and the juice is also very rich. It's not like some of our local chickens in Thailand, which taste rather dull and don't have much juice."

After trying a bite, the team members present expressed their opinions one after another, and they were all very satisfied with the white-cut chicken made from three-yellow chicken.

There are currently only two people present who have not yet commented.

One is Chalun, the leader of the inspection team, and the other is Nava, the princess’s special envoy. The special envoy is a man in his 50s, dressed in white and with a meticulous expression.

Unlike the others present, his face obviously looked cleaner, and he seemed to pay more attention to the details of etiquette.

After everyone had finished speaking, Zhalun made a summary: "In fact, what I value more about this dish is these three dipping sauces. Can you taste the difference between them?"

Difference in dipping sauce?
The members of the team looked at each other, then shook their heads, saying that they didn't quite understand. Although the dip tasted good, no one could tell what was special about it.

"Ha ha!"

Zhilun sighed slightly, glanced at everyone present one by one, then shook his head inconspicuously and continued: "This dipping sauce is carefully prepared for us by the hotel.

But you didn't discover the secret inside, which is a great failure for our work. Don't forget that our purpose is to help Her Royal Highness choose the delicacies that are most suitable for her.

Please always remind yourself that this time is not for you to indulge in delicious food. You must do your job well, otherwise don't blame me for kicking you out of the team. "

Zhilun suddenly turned his back, causing the lively atmosphere to cool down immediately. Everyone's faces that were full of laughter suddenly changed color, and they lowered their heads and no longer dared to look at Zhilun.

"There's no need to be so nervous. I'm just reminding everyone. Okay, let's get back to the dipping sauce for this dish. I know that many of you don't really like the taste of this dipping sauce.

Because compared with the dipping sauce we usually eat, its taste is indeed lighter, lacking a little sour and spicy taste.

But this is also the point of what I just said. This time we are choosing delicious food for the princess, so all the flavors must be light. These three dipping sauces are very distinctive. "

In fact, the biggest purpose of Zhalun's previous words was to establish his authority as the leader. In fact, to a large extent, they were directed at the special envoy.

Because the special envoy is the princess's special envoy and mainly exercises a supervisory power, Zhalun does not want him to dictate too much in the evaluation of the dishes.

That's why he took advantage of the opportunity just now to show his authority, and beat Nawa in a disguised form, so that he could cooperate with his work as much as possible.

After seeing everyone start to sit upright, Zhalun had been observing Nava's reaction from the corner of his eyes. What made him a little confused was that the expression on Nava's face did not change at all from the beginning to the end.

This made Zhalun feel a little bit in trouble, and he was a little helpless to the envoy who was unwilling to take any advice, because just yesterday, the envoy put forward a lot of opinions on the evaluation of another hotel.

In particular, I expressed some dissatisfaction with some of my handling methods, and also put forward some different opinions on the evaluation methods of the dishes. At that time, I was a little embarrassed.

In fact, these are not the most important. The key issue is that the special envoy is very dissatisfied with the itinerary he arranged because it involves another cuisine selection.

That’s Sichuan food!
According to the recommendation list provided by Huaxia, the leaders of the two teams gathered together to discuss before setting off. At that time, Zhalun and another team leader Song Kun excluded Sichuan cuisine.

Sichuan?

Stop being funny, okay?
Although I know that Sichuan cuisine is very exquisite, and the last time they came to Thailand they made very exquisite dishes, but those dishes were almost all spicy dishes.

Because they were ordered by another princess who likes spicy food, the three dishes of chicken bean curd, mapo tofu and spicy chicken are must-try dishes, and the other dishes are also very unique.

It was at that time that Zhalun and Song Kun saw Sichuan cuisine's superb skills in making spicy dishes, and they also deepened their impression of Sichuan cuisine.

That is, the dishes in Sichuan cuisine are almost all spicy dishes. This is a local specialty and a universal label for this cuisine.

No matter from the mouth of any Chinese, you can know that Sichuan cuisine is famous for its spicy food, and the most influential one is probably hot pot, which is one of the biggest features of Sichuan cuisine.

So when they got the list, both Chalun and Sompa were very puzzled as to why the official would recommend a spicy cuisine like Sichuan cuisine.

Don’t you know that Princess Silena chose light cuisine this time?
However, after carefully reading the recommended list, the two of them found that eight major cuisines were involved in the list, so they both had the same idea in mind at that time.

That is to say, the recommendation of Sichuan cuisine should be used to make up the numbers. After all, there are eight major cuisines, each with its own characteristics. Recommending them all will show that the other party pays more attention to them.

But even so, the two first blocked this Sichuan cuisine, the first declared it out, and then continued to eliminate it from the rest of the dishes.

Hunan cuisine was the second to be eliminated, and the reason is very simple, because it is spicier.

After discussing the remaining six major cuisines, the two finally selected only three, namely Huaiyang cuisine, Shandong cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.

Although it is generally said that there are eight major cuisines, in fact the four major cuisines are more influential, namely Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Shandong cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.

Sichuan cuisine has been excluded before, so naturally these three restaurants are left.

So the division of labor was that Song Pa would select Shandong cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine, while Zhalun would be in charge of Cantonese cuisine.

Don't think that Zha Lun is only in charge of Cantonese cuisine, but there are quite a few Cantonese restaurants on the recommended list, and those not on the list should also be investigated.

So in terms of workload, the tasks of the two are actually similar.

But before departure, the special envoy raised objections to this decision and asked the two to reasonably allocate the team members and inspect all the restaurants on the recommended list.

After all, the restaurants that can be on this list should all have their own unique aspects. Out of a serious and responsible attitude towards this matter, they should handle it in this way.

However, the request of the special envoy was opposed by the two team leaders, who believed that this would bring great disadvantages to the results of the selection.

The first choice is the allocation of personnel. Without the supervision of the person in charge, the team members' inspection conclusions will inevitably bring some substantial deviations. Such results are unacceptable.

And due to time constraints, because the princess raised this matter relatively late, it is impossible for every family to make a comprehensive assessment.

Therefore, the selection can only be based on the princess's taste and requirements, so Huaiyang cuisine, Shandong cuisine and Cantonese cuisine are the best choices.

Regarding the unanimous decision of the two, the special envoy has no way to intervene. After all, the special envoy's right is only to supervise and has no right to interfere.

Therefore, Nava did not give Charun a good look along the way, because Zhalun had the most resolute opposition before, so Nava chose to keep an eye on him instead of following Sompa.

Faced with such a situation, Zhalun was also a little depressed. If he had known this was the case, he would have kept a lower profile and let Sompa show off more. Then wouldn't the tail no longer have to be dangled in front of his eyes?

Thinking back to these troublesome things just now, Zhalun took a deep breath, put all these troubles behind him, and then continued to talk about the extraordinary dipping sauce.

"This first garlic dipping sauce has been specially processed. The aroma of garlic is very strong, and vinegar and sugar are added. It is very delicious when paired with the juicy chicken. This is what we like very much. sweet and sour taste.

The second dish is also our local specialty. It is a fruit dip, which contains coconut sugar, shallots, dried shrimps and fish sauce. It only lacks a little chili, which is also in line with the taste of the princess.

You may not know the third dish, but it is prepared with shrimp soy sauce, and this soy sauce is a specialty here. It is very flavorful when used to dip the white-cut chicken.

I just noticed that when many of you taste this dish, the seasoning that you use the most is the shrimp soy sauce. You can’t deny this, right? "

As soon as Zhalun finished speaking, everyone present nodded. They really liked this sauce. The delicious taste was really irresistible.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his point of view, Zhalun smiled and said: "Now you can see that this hotel is very concerned about this selection.

Just from these three seasonings, you can see their level of care. Two of the seasonings are our local Thai flavors, and some improvements have been made.

The third type also recommends local specialties to us, and does not blindly cater to everyone. This shows that they are very confident and fully prepared for this trip to Thailand. "

Zhalun's words were recognized by everyone, especially after looking at the dishes ordered before, they are all very classic Cantonese dishes.

Crispy roast goose, eight-treasure winter melon cup, baked lobster in soup, smooth fish balls, braised squab, sweet and sour sweet and sour pork, coconut milk rock sugar bird's nest, Xishi braised flower belly, suburban fish head, typhoon shelter fried crab, Yuhuan scallops breast
All of these dishes are extremely exquisite, and they are all very light, and everyone knows that Cantonese cuisine has always been famous for its lightness.

According to an inside message everyone has received, Michelin is about to issue a three-star logo to a Cantonese restaurant. This will be the first three-star restaurant in China.

Moreover, it is a local restaurant in China, not France or other countries.

Therefore, it can be seen from this that Cantonese cuisine is extraordinary, and it must be very in line with the standards of nutrition and light diet, so everyone has a little bias in the selection of Cantonese cuisine this time.

The subsequent dishes continued to be served, which were given by Wang Ziqiang for free. The drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to show off the exquisiteness of Cantonese cuisine and the skills of their hotel chef.

Thin-skinned shrimp dumplings, Shawan original milk egg tart, Chaoshan braised meat, honey sauce barbecued pork, steamed Eastern star spot, papaya braised snow clam, Braised rice roll rice roll, honey sauce barbecued pork.
There will be a lot of free dishes later, but the portions have been reduced a bit, just to let everyone taste the taste. If the portions are too much, it will be troublesome to not be able to eat them and affect the appetite.

After all, they had ordered a lot of dishes before.

In the kitchen!

"Junjie, our hotel has a high chance of being selected this time. I saw that their team leader is very satisfied with these dishes."

After Wang Ziqiang finished serving the subsequent dishes, he went in again to toast a glass of wine, observed it carefully, and came to this conclusion.

"Really? Don't be too happy too early. Didn't you get that list before?

There is a Pinhe Xingchen Hotel up there. When it comes to making light dishes, Chu Yunfeng is no worse than anyone else. Are you so confident? "

Wu Junjie was concentrating on chopping vegetables at the moment. After hearing Wang Ziqiang's words, there was no excessive expression on his face and he responded without raising his head.

"You are right, but there are two problems they can't solve, so we should win this time.

You don’t know it yet, but this inspection team has already decided that the scope of this inspection will only be Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine and our Cantonese cuisine, and Sichuan cuisine has been excluded.

This cannot be changed, so Sichuan cuisine is out.

The second question is the type of dishes. It is undeniable that Chu Yunfeng’s light dishes are indeed extraordinary, but didn’t you find there is a problem?
That is, he currently knows very few dishes. If he really wants to prepare such a large banquet, those few dishes are still not enough to support the scene.

But it will be hard to say in another year or two. According to the speed at which he is restoring Sichuan cuisine, it is indeed a bit scary. "

While Wang Ziqiang was excited, he was also a little embarrassed. Anyone with such abnormal strength as Chu Yunfeng would feel very powerless.

"I hope, I hope everything goes in the direction you expected, but I always feel that he will not give up. He is not as simple as you think."

After Wu Junjie met Chu Yunfeng for the first time, he began to restrain his somewhat arrogant temperament, and using Chu Yunfeng as his imaginary enemy made his cooking skills improve rapidly.

"Haha, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem this time."

Wang Ziqiang suddenly found that after hearing Wu Junjie's words, his confidence seemed to be a little lacking.
On the other side, after all the people in the private room next to him had left, Ma Fu received the latest news. It seemed that the special envoy Nava had just quarreled with Charun again.
