Chapter 752
"Even, Ernie, you guys come over and taste the Filipino snacks we bought. After Lee Taekhan and Kim Tae-hee were busy in the kitchen for more than ten minutes, Dara entered the kitchen and said to the two.
"Honey, go and taste it first, and I'll take care of it here. Lee Taekhan said to Kim Tae-hee beside him.
"There is no rush here, the food will affect the taste for a long time, so it is better to taste it first. Kim Tae-hee reached out and snatched the knife from Lee Zehan's hand, put it aside and said.
"Okay, then let's go and taste it together after washing our hands. Li Zehan said and took Kim Tae-hee to wash his hands.
"I knew I would have let the victory come. Dara, who had been fed tons of dog food, said with a stroke on her forehead.
"Hurry up and find a boyfriend, you're not too young. Li Zehan, who had finished washing his hands, said while wiping his hands with a towel for himself and Kim Tae-hee.
"Even, please never talk to a woman about age and weight, it's really easy to get angry. Dara raised her fist at Li Zehan and said.
"I support Dara's statement on that. Kim Tae-hee also said with a serious face.
"Yes, I'll try to pay attention. Li Zehan shrugged and said.
"Alright, let's go. Kim Tae-hee said, taking Dara's arm.
The trio immediately left the kitchen and went to the dining table by the pool.
"I think we need to prepare some mosquito repellent. Li Shengli, who had just killed a mosquito, said to the three people who had just arrived.
"Mosquito repellent? I'll look for it later, and it's usually free mosquito repellent. ”
With such a swimming pool and good surrounding greenery, it is normal to have mosquitoes, and the owners of these villas generally provide mosquito repellent medicine for free to guests who rent their villas.
"What is this?" asked Li Zehan, pointing to a food dish that didn't look good.
"Kamaro, which is fried mole crickets, is an appetizer because the ingredients are very difficult to catch and difficult to cook, even I haven't eaten them many times. Dara explains.
"How to make it?" Li Zehan had never eaten mole crickets, so he immediately became interested after hearing it.
"Even, you wait for me, I'll go get the guide, I remember there should be an introduction above. Dara said and ran up to the second floor.
Kim Tae-hee heard that it was made of mole crickets, so he was somewhat repulsed and didn't dare to try it easily.
Li Zehan very consciously picked up the spoon that was placed aside, ready to be a pioneer and taste the taste of Kamaro.
It's not that he didn't want Li Shengli to be this guinea pig, but it's a pity that Li Shengli, the little prince who is behind the blame, rarely has the vision to see it once, and when they mentioned this Kamaro, he slipped away, so Li Zehan could only go into battle in person.
"It tasted pretty good. Fried food is generally not unpalatable, so Li Zehan was not as careful as he was when he tried Sinigang before, and directly scooped a full spoonful into his mouth, and after savoring it for a while, Li Zehan said his evaluation with a smile.
"Really?" Kim Tae-hee looked at Lee Chae-han with some disbelieving.
"How could I lie to you about this kind of thing, I don't want to be driven to sleep on the couch by you tonight. Li Zehan said with a chuckle.
Kim Tae-hee gave him a blank look, hesitated for a few seconds, and then took a spoon and scooped some into his mouth.
"It's the first time I've tasted it. Kim Tae-hee said after swallowing the food in his mouth.
"It's a dish that goes well with the sake of the moment, and I think it goes well with sorghum wine. Li Zehan touched his chin and said.
"I think it goes well with beer. Kim Tae-hee said something different.
"Even, this dish is made by removing the legs and wings of the mole cricket, then boiling the limb parts in vinegar and garlic, and then frying them in oil with onions and sliced tomatoes until chocolate brown. Dara, who came back with the guide, said to Li Zehan.
"I see. Li Zehan nodded suddenly.
"This is Longaniza, isn't it?" said Kim Tae-hee, pointing to another snack that caught her attention.
Before coming to the Philippines, she also looked up some relevant information on the Internet, and she had seen the information about this Spanish salami on the Internet.
Each province in the Philippines has pork sausages that are characteristic of the province, collectively known as Longaniza. From sweet, garlic to spicy, there is a wide variety of sausages.
It is often served for breakfast with garlic rice, fried eggs and vinaigrette.
"It's very tasty, but it's cold now, so it's better to heat it up later." Dara said with a thumbs up.
"This Zehan should like it very much, he often eats sausages, chicken sausages and other things as snacks when he is at home. Kim Tae-hee said after picking up the plate and smelling it.
"What kind of flavor is this Longaniza? If it's sweet, I don't like it. Li Zehan touched his nose and asked.
"Garlic and spicy. Dara said, licking the corners of her mouth.
"Dara, you really like garlic. Li Zehan remembered the garlic rice that Dara insisted on ordering when he was dining just now, and said jokingly.
"Most Filipinos love garlic, so they use it in a lot of dishes, and I've lived here for a long time, so the taste has naturally been assimilated. Dara scratched the back of her head embarrassedly.
"Let's continue tasting, and when we're done, we'll go back and prepare dinner. Kim Tae-hee said after looking at the time.
"Don't prepare too much, my friend said he wanted Lechon to come over. Dara said to Li Zehan and the others.
"Lechon, what's that?" asked Kim Tae-hee curiously.
In the Philippines, charcoal-grilled suckling pig is the most popular dish for banquets, and the charcoal-grilled suckling pig festival is held on June 24 every year. Dara said with a bit of ostentation.
"It's a dish that needs to be tasted. "Being able to get the locals to come up with a festive food for them is a must-see.
"I was thinking of taking you to taste it at lunch tomorrow, but now I'm going to rearrange it. Dara grumbled.
However, she complained so much, she was still very grateful to her friends in her heart, although the consumption in the Philippines is not too expensive, this charcoal-grilled suckling pig is not cheap, and the famous store must be booked at least a few days in advance.
Moreover, Filipinos regard charcoal-grilled suckling pig as a major dish to entertain VIPs, and if you can eat charcoal-grilled suckling pig locally, it means that the host regards you as a distinguished guest.
"It's just a matter of choosing a new restaurant, don't you know all the food shops here, just choose a random restaurant that won't affect your itinerary. Li Zehan patted her head and said.
"That's right. Dara doesn't dwell on it anymore.
After the tasting, Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee returned to the kitchen to continue their work.
Twenty minutes later, Dara's friends arrived one after another, including Dara's former classmates and her artist friends in the Philippines, a total of eleven people came, making the originally quiet villa lively.
Dara looked at the two charcoal-roasted suckling pigs on the table, which were estimated to weigh more than forty kilograms, and was really a little troubled, and a little glad that they hadn't cooked too much rice tonight, otherwise even if there were eighteen of them here, it would be enough to get these foods.
In addition to bringing charcoal-grilled suckling pigs, two of Dara's friends were influenced by her and fell in love with Korean bomb wine, so they brought soju and beer, and there were quite a few of them, which was exactly what Choi Seung-hyun and Lee Sheng-sheng wanted.
They had been thinking about how they could make the atmosphere more lively without drinking a little wine.
After Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee led Choi Seung-hyun to bring out the dinner they had prepared, everyone gathered at the table.
Because English is also the official language of the Philippines, there is no problem for Lee and Kim Tae-hee to communicate with Dara's friends.
One of Dara's artist friends is a popular comedy artist in the Philippines named Ryan Bang.
This popularity in the Philippines is comparable to Yoo Jae-seok's popularity in South Korea, and he is nicknamed the national son of the Philippines by Dara.
In terms of enlivening the atmosphere, RyanBang is indeed very skillful, plus he is also a young man, and he has a strong eyesight, so he can grasp the psychology of everyone very well.
After Li Zehan and the others sat down, Dara and her friend took a knife to handle the two charcoal-roasted suckling pigs.
"Eating this charcoal roast suckling pig is its set of steps, the first step is to eat the most crispy pork back skin, cut the pig skin into 24 pieces or 36 pieces, and return to the original shape on the table, reflecting the beauty of the whole pig, when eating the pig back skin, it is best to match it with sugar and mille-feuille, we only have white sugar now, so we will order it on the sugar to eat. Dara put on her eyes, held the cheat sheet she had just made in her hand, and introduced Li Zehan and them in a serious way.
"Do you need me to make some?" asked Li Zehan.
Although it will take some time, Li Zehan feels that it is still worth it.
"Don't worry about it, the mille-feuille cake used here in the Philippines is different from other places for this charcoal-grilled suckling pig. Dara said, shaking her head.
"I don't know if there's such a practice on the Internet, but if there is, I'd like to find the time to make it myself. Li Zehan said thoughtfully.
"You should be able to find out the approximate production method, sauce and the like, you still need to make it yourself, after all, those delicious restaurants will not announce their unique sauces. Dara chuckled.
"It's a good challenge, and when I get back home, I'll take the time to do some research. Li Zehan touched his chin and said.
"If you really research it, remember to call us when you make it. Cui Shengxian, who was very confident in Li Zehan's cooking skills, immediately raised his hand and said.
Li Zehan made an OK gesture at them, if you really want to make charcoal roast suckling pig, you must call friends, otherwise only he and Kim Tae-hee can't make a roast suckling pig.
"I'll talk about that later, but let's eat now. Kim Tae-hee patted Lee Tae-han's arm and said.
It takes a lot of effort and energy to make charcoal-grilled suckling pig, and Kim Tae-hee doesn't support Lee Zehan to make it himself, but it's not easy to dissuade him now, so he can only divert his attention first.
Li Zehan didn't say anything more, and focused his attention on the food in front of him.
According to the method that Dara said, I tasted the pork back skin first, the roasted brown pork skin, not greasy, very chewy, so that Li Zehan was full of praise.
"The second step in eating charcoal-grilled suckling pig is to cut the rest of the skin and meat into small samples, still in the shape of a pig, and then serve it, this time with sauerkraut and chopped green onions. Dara continued with her explanation.
"If you feel greasy, you can eat it wrapped in lettuce. Ryan Bang added.
After Dara distributed the roast suckling pig, Li Zehan and the others continued to taste, which was much more delicate than the ordinary barbecue, which made Li Zehan and them give a thumbs up again.
After they were full of wine and food, Li Zehan and the others gathered on the second floor and started chatting.
Although their minds have already run to the pool and the water park facilities, their stomachs are too strong to eat now, and they can't go into the water at all, so they can only come here honestly to digest it.
During the chat, most of the time, Dara was telling interesting stories about her relationship with these Filipino friends, and Choi Seung-hyun and the others occasionally interjected some topics in order to liven up the atmosphere, but because of their limited English skills, they did not interject much.
Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee became listeners, silently listening to their conversation and rarely speaking.
However, none of Dara and the others were the masters of peace, so Li Zehan and the others soon couldn't stand it, and they were targeted by the people who turned into problem children and began to ask them questions.
There are endless and gossip questions coming out of their mouths, which makes Lee Zehan and Kim Tae-hee have a headache.
Relatively speaking, Kim Tae-hee is still much easier than Lee Tae-hee, not to mention that most of those problems are directed at Lee Tae-han, and Lee Tae-han himself will help Kim Tae-hee block some problems.
If they are all acquaintances, Li Zehan has a lot of ways to make them honest, but Dara's friends are all meeting for the first time, so they can only deal with their problems with a certain degree of proportion.
After everyone felt that they had almost digested it, they couldn't wait to change their clothes and go downstairs to play in the water.
Dara stopped the crowd and gathered them together, intending to take a few commemorative photos while they were still in good shape.
If you go into the water later, the image is probably not much better, and it is not suitable for SNS.
After everyone cooperated and took pictures, they all went to change their clothes.
Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee did not change into swimsuits, but into sun-protective wetsuits.
Dara and Lee Chae-rim have always taken the abstinence route, and Choi Seung-hyun, who doesn't like to show his flesh, also made such a choice.
Li Shengli and Dong Yongfei showed off their muscles unscrupulously, although Li Shengli's small body did not have a few taels of meat.
After watching Li Shengli play with the stinky beauty for a while, everyone went down to the first floor together, came to the pool, and prepared to start playing in the water.
