This year's Hong Kong International Culinary Grand Prix is larger than any previous edition.

Relying on the Hong Kong International Food, Catering and Hotel Equipment Exhibition, the organizer invites chefs or teams from 11 countries and regions to participate in the professional group and amateur group competitions.

This is an international competition accredited by the World Chefs World Association of Chef's Societies, and its programs, rules and judging criteria are based on the judging criteria of World Chefs.

The competition in both categories consists of three major events: Western Cooking, Chinese Cooking and Pastry Making, and the participating chefs are required to cook the corresponding products according to the requirements at the specified time.

It's a very tight schedule and there are a lot of events.

Of course, the most important thing for them is the amateur Chinese cooking competition scheduled for the second day of the competition.

Therefore, on the first competition day after the opening ceremony, Luo Yanyan and Tan Bingqing could still go to the exhibition relatively easily to watch the ice sculpture and pastry making competition on this day.

As for the carving technique in cooking, Luo's stubborn level is limited to the entry-level carving of turnip flowers.

Tan Bingqing is different, she can carve all kinds of intricate decorations and utensils with all kinds of vegetables and fruits.

According to her words, she learned this from her grandmother like a game since she was a child.

Luo stubbornly listened and envied at the same time, the family tradition is different.

A guy like her, who is weak in technical level, relies on her love for food and the blessing of spiritual jade.

Otherwise, if she wants to mix in the cooking circle, I'm afraid she won't even be able to touch the door.

The ice sculpture competition is placed on the first day of the competition, mainly because this competition is extremely spectacle and especially suitable for building momentum for the competition.

Each of the participating chefs had a cubic metre of ice just brought from the freezer in front of him, and the competition lasted for 30 minutes.

Luo Yanyan and Tan Bingqing took the tickets that Julie gave them to enter the game to watch the game, and Julie also intimately informed the two Tan Bingyan went to the famous business district in Xiangjiang to buy and buy today, and would not come to watch the game.

This saves the two of them the trouble of hiding and hiding, and they can watch the game generously.

The two of them watched a wonderful ice sculpture competition, and finally the chef selected by the domestic ice city won the gold medal.

It's no wonder that people can come out on top, the ice city has always had a tradition of ice sculptures, and the environment is also unique. Of course, being a chef is also superior to others in this regard.

And the work of the chef who won the gold medal is indeed beautiful, and if the food is placed in such an ice sculpture, it will immediately raise the level of a notch.

After the ice sculpture competition, it was a seamless pastry making competition.

Like the ice sculpture competition, the pastry making competition is also very eye-catching.

Especially the making of cakes is different from the decent cakes we buy in cake shops on weekdays.

The works participating in the competition naturally need to show some level and creativity in order to stand out among the contestants.

At the end of the competition, the audience was allowed to enter to visit and taste, and Luo stubbornly pulled Tan Bingqing and went straight to the work that won the high-quality gold award.

She has a sharper nose than others, and naturally has a clear goal.

When he arrived at the booth of the gold medal works, Luo Yanyan couldn't help but widen his eyes!

It's not because of how eye-catching the gold medal works are, but because the unpretentious long roll-shaped cake in front of you really doesn't look like the beauty that a gold medal work should have.

At least it's not the same as Luo stubbornly imagined, it's too ordinary.

However, her nose told her that her brain waves told her that this cake was very, very delicious!

Adhering to the principle that you can't take the cake by its appearance, Luo stubbornly decided to taste it first.

Glancing at the name of the work - blueberry stump cake, the chef's name is Yu Sen, from France.

took a piece of cake cut into small pieces from the side, Luo Yanyan turned it over with a fork first, and found that under the wrapping of the ordinary blueberry sponge cake, it was full of richer "content".

This is what has been hooking her just now, with both fruity aromas and mellow notes of cream and cheese, and it turns out that there is a lot of stuff here.

"Xiaoqing, I found that not only people can't look good, but even cakes can't!"

hasn't tasted it yet, Luo Yanyan already understands a little bit why this work can be rated as a high-quality gold medal work.

Tan Bingqing had already tasted a piece at this time, nodded when she heard the words, leaned over and looked at it carefully before commenting: "It's true that it's not special at first glance, but it's different when you eat it." Amazing! ”

Luo stubbornly couldn't wait to fork the cake, put it in his mouth, and savored it, the blueberry syrup and strawberry compote in it were neutralized by the cheese mousse and removed the possibility of being too sweet, because it was frozen, so there was a smooth and cool feeling in the mouth.

It's a cake that's perfect for summer, with the texture of ice cream but sweeter than ice cream.

The most ingenious thing is that these soft and glutinous textures also add a layer of graininess because of the addition of a layer of finger cake edges.

As he ate it, he was amazed by the ingenuity of the chef who made the cake and the subtle control of the flavor of the ingredients.

Especially on the basis of blueberry mousse, a sweeter strawberry compote is added, which avoids monotony and adds a more intense fruity aroma.

"I really can't see it, the two young ladies are young and very knowledgeable."

Luo stubbornly told Tan Bingqing about the feelings he tasted one by one, and even pointed out some key ingredients in the recipes created by other chefs in the production process.

She thought her voice was quiet, and that they had withdrawn from the crowd and were standing in a corner where no one was talking, but she was still heard.

Luo was startled, turned his head to look behind him, and what broke into his eyes was a figure wearing a snow-white chef's suit.

"Sorry, did it scare you? I'm just glad that someone understands my work so well and can't help but want to talk to you about it. ”

This person is dignified, with a short neat haircut, and is looking at Luo Yan and Tan Bingqing with a smile.

Seeing Luo's stubborn face showing surprise, he hurriedly explained his recklessness.

"It's okay."

Luo stubbornly pulled a polite smile, and was secretly depressed in his heart, how could he be heard by the main owner when he was chatting in the corner?

She was with Xiaoqing just now, and she almost picked up other people's formulas......

And she knows it herself, not talking nonsense.

"Mr. Yu, congratulations on winning the award. Let's go first. ”

Tan Bingqing is more stubborn and calm than Luo, most of the people who come to watch the competition are professional chefs or cooking enthusiasts, and it is normal to get together to talk about the gold medal works.

She is not as weak as Luo stubborn, mainly she specializes in Chinese cooking, and does not dabble in Western pastries. She didn't know that the stubborn muttering to herself was someone else's original recipe.

"Please wait a minute, I really don't mean anything, but I accidentally heard this young lady comment on my work, it was like drilling into my head and reading my formula, I was really amazed. If I hadn't been sure that I had never crossed paths with this young lady, I would have thought that my recipe had been leaked. So, I guess, this lady must have an unusual sense of taste, right? Otherwise, how can I tell exactly what I am ingredient in just by tasting it? ”

Yu Sen observed Luo's stubborn expression as he spoke, and sure enough, although her face was as usual, a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and he knew that he was right.

"Of course, I don't mean anything, I just want to make friends with the two of you, so that we can discuss cooking issues together in the future."

Yu Sen was afraid that his abruptness would frighten the person he wanted to befriend, so he expressed his wishes in a sincere tone.

"I'm sorry, there's no need for me to make friends, I'm not in company."

Tan Bingqing naturally protected Luo stubbornly, who knows what happened to this Yu Sen who suddenly appeared, even if there is no malice, they can't be without the slightest defense.

Especially if you want to Xiangjiang, any unusual thing may have ulterior motives.
