Chapter 1014: I'm Too Hard!

As soon as the waiter lifted the cover, Simeone was captivated by the chic presentation.

He has seen all kinds of plating, in fact, the presentation of French food is the most admired by him, and it is hard to imagine that a restaurant in Huaxia without a star mark can interpret the aesthetics so artistically.

The large square bowl with a shallow bottom, the brown balls are submerged in red broth, arranged in a semi-circular arc, and the perimeter is decorated with some emerald green parsley and rosemary with slender leaves, and a layer of sauce is painted to resemble a red sea.

The vast sea area is dotted with balls, as if there are islands looming here and there.

"Plating, kind of fun. Simeone was silent for a moment and said softly.

"I think the presentation is very average, it looks a little too red. Chen Meiling analyzed very unprofessionally next to her, "In the restaurant downstairs of our house, there is a dish of tomato sauce meat, which looks similar to this." ”

Simeone didn't pay attention to Chen Meiling's demolition, and he didn't have the same knowledge as her.

Simeone knows Chen Meiling's inner calculations, but it is quite difficult to influence him.

Simeone picked up the spoon, his eyes fell on the spoon itself, slightly stunned, he didn't pay attention to the tableware just now, and when he looked closely, he found that there was a difference, the tableware felt very good, like the bone china he had used in a restaurant before.

The touch of the spoon in the hand is even higher.

Simeone is not only a gastronomic expert, but he has studied everything in the restaurant, and this unremarkable-looking set of tableware should have been specially made and worth at least a few hundred euros if it was on the market.

Chen Meiling saw that Simone's expression became solemn, and she had a bad premonition.

She quickly tasted it, frowned, and said, "Hmm, what a strange taste!"

Whether it tastes good or not, Simeone has to be influenced by preconceived notions.

Simeone saw through her mind, and if he could be influenced by her, it would be a lack of IQ.

At first glance, this dish looks like Spanish braised meatballs.

Braised meatballs are a dish in several Western countries, and a Madrid restaurant quickly appeared in Simeone's mind, and although the restaurant did not pass its own review, the dish of braised meatballs still left a deep impression on him.

Simeone took a sip with a delicate soup spoon, put it to his nose and sniffed it, affected by the sweet and sour aroma, a large amount of saliva quickly secreted in his mouth, he couldn't help but sigh, this dish is impeccable in terms of color and aroma.

Simone picked out a meatball from the inside, the traditional Western-style meatball is oven-baked and has a cheesey texture inside, but the chef uses the charred frying method when processing this dish, which requires the chef to control the oil temperature and frying time to the extreme, otherwise it will be easy to burn.

When Simone took a small bite of the meatball, even though it had been simmering for a long time, the outer layer of the meatball still retained its crispy aroma, and when the teeth bit open the outer cortex, the cheese flowed out like a thick soup.

Simeone's eyes widened as he felt the cheese running through his mouth, shocked.

Good cheese, authentic mozzarella.

Cheese is another name for cheese, but cheese with the mozzarella title is not unusual, mozzarella cheese can be drawn, while cheese cannot. The pizza you usually eat can pull out long shredded cheese because of the role played by mozzarella. Simeone patiently refuses, interpreting each palate with the finely crushed palate of the tongue, and then deciphering the methods that produce such a complex taste.

He was also a professional chef, and although he had not been cooking for a long time, he had a grasp of the basic principles of cooking, but he did not know the exact technique of this dish, mainly because he was not familiar with the cooking methods of Chinese food.

Chen Meiling ate a meatball, originally planning to find offensive words, but suddenly felt that the words were running out, because this meatball was obviously beyond her imagination.

"These meatballs are hard to eat!" Chen Meiling said against her will.

In fact, by the time she reacted, she had already eaten a lot.

She secretly observed Simeone's expression, and he didn't raise his voice at all, lost in his own thoughts.

Simeone continued to pour the dish from the big bowl into his own small bowl, and before he knew it, he ate several servings, sighed softly, and said to himself, "The meatballs have a very special crispy texture, crispy on the outside, flexible on the inside, and very delicious when you bite into it." ”

Chen Meiling smiled wryly, it seems that the food detective's understanding of food is no different from her own. Chen Meiling was a little panicked, after all, she came with a mission, and now Simeone's attitude towards the Qiao Gang's main canteen is not conducive to completing the task.

Simeone didn't take Chen Meiling to heart, the food attracted all his attention, he picked up a piece of "Huangqiao Baked Cake" and sent it to his mouth, a salty and salty taste, neutralizing the greasy taste of the red stewed meatballs just now, and then a sweet taste, watered in the taste buds, as if activating the seeds in the depths of the taste buds, first the tips of thin teeth emerged, and slowly turned into flowers.

Simeone can conclude that the Huangqiao pancake is mixed with fresh flower sauce and the inner layer of softness.

Meatball food, the most troublesome thing for chefs, need to solve the feeling of eating too much greasy, generally choose to use dipping sauce to solve, and customers choose dipping sauce according to their eating habits, but the chef of this restaurant uses the jam of Huangqiao baked cake to solve the greasy feeling, and the idea is bold and incredible.

The tenderness of the meatballs and the crispiness of the Huangqiao pancakes are exactly the right match.

"You should try the Huangqiao Yakini!" Simeone suggested, "and it will give you a completely subversive taste." ”

Chen Meiling smiled a little disdainfully, "This is Huangqiao baked cake, I ate it when I was a child, and I sold it for two cents when I was a child, and now I can do it for a dollar at most." ”

Her eyes fell on Simeone's body, and she was so shocked to see him, that she thought he was rare and strange.

This arrogant food spy doesn't seem to be as demanding as the legend says.

She put the Huangqiao baked cake to her mouth and took a shallow bite, originally planning to make a look, but the touch from her teeth and the crispy numbness brought by the crispy skin made her can't help but take another bite deeper.

Click, click, click, she took several bites in succession, and when she reacted, half of a piece of Huangqiao baked cake had been eaten.

This Huangqiao baked cake is the hottest delicacy in the State Guesthouse, no matter which country the foreign guests, after tasting, they are full of praise, and even before returning to China, they will book a batch with the State Guesthouse.

Huangqiao Baked Cake has been improved to not only have the original taste, but also add elements that conform to the mainstream taste of modern people.

I didn't expect traditional food to be so amazing.

Chen Meiling, like many women, has no resistance to desserts, but she rejects traditional Chinese pastries, but at this moment, any cake and pudding stand aside, this is what dessert really looks like.

The waiter served the second dish, interrupting Chen Meiling's thoughts.

Simeone had a lot of anticipation in his eyes this time, and he took away the arrogance of his talents.

Although he likes the way the ingredients are preserved, he must admit that the chef's recommendation has completely subverted his stereotype of Chinese cuisine.

He doesn't like Huaxia chefs adding various condiments to the ingredients, because it will destroy the original taste of the ingredients, but the dish just now gave him a feeling that meatballs can only reflect their true value through this complex seasoning.

The chef was like a magician and an alchemist, giving Simeone an unprecedented feeling.

Simeone still has a rejection of Chinese cuisine, but he has changed slightly, at least with respect for the restaurant's chef.

If the chef is guided by himself, he will definitely be able to get a Michelin star chef in the shortest possible time.

remembered that Qiao Zhi once arrogantly said that they would not participate in the selection of Michelin restaurants, and he thought that he was unconfident before, but now it seems that he is really confident.

Be confident enough in your own food to ignore Michelin's appeal and influence.

Simeone was slightly disappointed, a chef like this is not recommended to those food lovers, it is a huge loss.

The waiter lifted the cover, and Simone glanced at it, and there were green peppers, octopus, and onions.

The waiter introduced: "One of the two is a foreigner, so our chef has specially cooked two Chinese and Western dishes for you, the full name of this dish is green pepper stuffed with sardines, smoked light pickled octopus, and strange roasted Beijing onions." ”

Western food is generally named after ingredients, which is not as meaningful as Chinese food, but at a glance, people can see what ingredients they are eating when they see the menu.

This dish uses traditional Chinese cooking methods, such as Cantonese frying, Northeast sauce and traditional barbecue.

Cantonese cuisine includes the famous dish of fried and stuffed three treasures, including stuffed tofu, stuffed eggplant, and stuffed bitter gourd.

Xu Qian turned these three treasures into stuffed green peppers, turned pickled vegetables into sauced octopus, and as for the strange flavor of roasted Beijing onions, it was made by Southeast Asian barbecue.

Simeone has yet to taste the dish and has an idea of the chef's thinking.

Today, he entertained himself with the theme of the fusion of Chinese food and Spanish cuisine, and he didn't know his identity, but through the feedback in the lobby, he learned that he was a foreigner, so he chose Spanish cuisine, which the vast majority of foreigners would not refuse.

Simeone first tasted the smoked and shallow octopus, a common ingredient in Spanish cuisine, with slightly sour ginger added to the soy sauce pickled octopus from the Kowloon Sauce Garden for more than an hour, the taste is refreshing, making people feel like they are back in the green stadium of Spain.

"Delicious!"

Simeone sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The ingredients are not high-end, but they are definitely first-class cooking skills that bring out the characteristics of this dish to the fullest.

Chen Meiling held the chopsticks and wanted to move the chopsticks, but she felt embarrassed.

The food was tempting, but she couldn't show that she was conquered by the food.

A helpless voice welled up in Chen Meiling's heart, I was so difficult!
