Chapter 522: Australian Goods
Sir, your dishes are ready. ”
The waiter placed the dish in front of Feinan and whispered a message.
Fei Nan looked at the dishes on the table and asked suspiciously, "Is the dish wrong?" ”
"That's right, sir. ”
The waiter smiled and explained, "Due to a mistake by our catering department, the sirloin steak you ate at your meal yesterday was of slightly poor quality. ”
"Because your check-in details are confidential, we were unable to contact you and could not apologize to you in a timely manner. ”
"Today, regardless of your previous suspicions, it is our honor to choose our Dragon and Phoenix Hall again. ”
"Therefore, Mr. Xue Ming, the head chef of our Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant, specially cooked a sirloin steak himself, hoping to make up for the unpleasant experience caused to you. ”
After listening to the waiter's explanation, Fei Nan suddenly realized, and then smiled and nodded: "Thank you, you have a heart." ”
He didn't expect that the catering department of this hotel would be so good, because he didn't finish the steak yesterday, and he specially remade a copy for him today.
No wonder people can open it for more than 100 years, and paying attention to user experience can indeed improve favorability!
Xinran cut the steak into small pieces and put them in the center, letting Xiaobai and Huanhuan eat them by themselves, and Fei Nan also picked up chopsticks, picked up a section, and put it in his mouth.
After chewing twice, Feinan's face was calm, but after swallowing, he still put down his chopsticks.
Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip of wine, he pushed the plate in front of Xiaobai: "Eat more." ”
After the waiter stepped away, he stood aside and watched, but he didn't notice that the round-faced chef had also arrived in the restaurant.
"Which guest is it?"
He asked curiously.
The waiter realized that it was him, and pointed in the direction of Fernan.
"Yo, that's tall?"
The round-faced chef was shocked by Feinan's size, and immediately looked at his hand, only to find that he was not eating steak, but the bald little boy next to him was eating sweetly with a fork.
"Why didn't he eat it?"
The round-faced chef was puzzled.
"How do I know? He only had one bite yesterday, maybe people don't like steak?"
The waiter pouted and said, "Okay! I have paid everyone else, and whether I eat or not is someone's business, what do you want?"
"That's not what I said. ”
Another voice appeared behind him, and the waiter looked back and hurriedly greeted: "Master Xue, why are you here?"
Xue Ming put his hands behind his back, looked in the direction of Fei Nan, frowned slightly, and said, "It's all lost, if people don't appreciate it, isn't it in vain?"
The round-faced chef asked in a low voice, "Isn't that kid eating very delicious?" Maybe he thinks it's too delicious to eat, so he can't save it for the kid?"
Xue Ming glanced at him: "Can you come here to eat, do you need to save money?"
Seeing that he was sneering and shutting down, Xue Mingcai said: "A qualified chef must be able to see the other party's taste from the order of the guest." ”
"If he doesn't like steak, he would order three servings at once yesterday?"
"If he doesn't know how to eat steak, he will go out of his way to order filet for the two children?"
He didn't eat after just one bite, which showed that he was still not satisfied and that the steak did not meet his requirements. ”
"What then?"
The round-faced chef sighed and said, "We've done what we want, and he's not satisfied, so what's the solution?"
He couldn't say that the steak was made by Xue Ming, but Xue Ming also understood what he meant.
"I'm going to talk to him. ”
Xue Ming didn't say much, just walked in the direction of Feinan.
"Hello sir. ”
Xue Ming stepped forward and politely greeted Feinan.
Fernan spotted him on a map when he first arrived, but didn't know what he wanted to do.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
Fernan wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"I'm the head chef of the Dragon and Phoenix Room, and my name is Xue Ming. ”
Xue Ming smiled and asked, "Are you still satisfied with today's dishes?"
"Not bad. ”
Fei Nan nodded: "The grouper is very fresh, and the shrimp are also in good heat and crispy. ”
He briefly commented that the seafood here is really good.
But a good evaluation is obviously not enough to satisfy Xue Ming.
Fei Nan didn't comment on the steak, so Xue Ming took the initiative to ask: "Yesterday's steak didn't satisfy you, how do you feel about today's steak?"
Fernan hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "It's okay, it's pretty good." ”
This perfunctory remark made Xue Ming sure that he was indeed not very satisfied with the steak.
"Sorry I didn't give you a great dining experience. ”
Xue Ming bowed slightly and apologized, before asking sincerely: "We hope to provide all guests with the best quality meals, if it is according to you, is there anything that can be improved about this sirloin steak?" ”
After looking at him, Fei Nan suddenly smiled and said, "Don't stand and say, please sit down!"
"Thank you. ”
Xue Ming thanked him and sat down.
"Trouble bring me another wine glass. ”
Fei Nan greeted the waiter, and then said casually: "Actually, your dish is good, quite authentic, but my mouth is a little tricky." ”
"You're humble. ”
Xue Ming asked seriously: "What do you think is the problem?"
"Minor problem, beef is a bit inferior. ”
Fei Nan motioned for the waiter who took the cup to pour Xue Ming a glass of wine, and said casually, "Just change the beef." ”
Xue Ming was stunned for a moment, is the problem with beef still a minor problem? There is a problem with beef, so doesn't it mean that there is a problem with this dish as a whole?
"You should be using Australian goods, right?" asked Feinan, looking at him.
"Connoisseur. ”
Xue Ming nodded, and then asked, "But the Australian goods are also very good, the meat is very tender, fat, and fragrant." ”
"But it's too fat!"
Fernan grabbed a piece of steak and explained, "I like fatty steaks, so I ordered sirloin, but I thought you were using grass-fed cattle here." ”
"But when I tasted it, I found that you were using grain-fed cows. ”
"Grain-fed cattle have plenty of meat and a lot of oil, so they are more tender, but the meat is not as rich in flavor as grass-fed cattle. ”
"Also, the fat doesn't have a snowflake-like distribution like Wagyu beef, so the lean part of the meat has a slightly hard texture, so I don't like it too much. ”
Listening to Fei Nan's explanation, Xue Ming's expression was a little embarrassed, because Fei Nan did get to the point.
"This ...... It's still a question of cost. ”
Xue Ming explained: "Since the outbreak of mad cow disease in Europe last year, a lot of beef has been destroyed, the supply has become smaller, and the import price of beef has become more and more expensive. ”
"There is now the most imported beef in Australia, but the price has doubled compared to previous years. ”
"Grass-fed cattle have a long feeding cycle, the price is more expensive, the restaurant takes less, and they are all supplied to Chinachem Pavilion, and the Dragon and Phoenix Hall uses grain-fed cattle. ”
After a pause, Xue Ming couldn't help but sigh and said, "No one can taste it before, you really know how to eat, and I can't hide it from you." ”
"It doesn't matter, the price you charge is also the price of grain-fed cattle, it's not a pit person, it's just that I'm not used to eating it. ”
Fei Nan smiled and comforted him, and seemed to be very talkative.
The reason why he talked so much about Xue Ming was actually because he wanted to use him to go around the back kitchen so that he could find a special place.
Otherwise, he would have to sneak in with Xiaobai in the middle of the night, which would be easier and more open.
