There is a big gap between Chinese cuisine and Chinese cuisine...... At least fried rice is not simply defined as Chinese fried rice, and just one plate of fried rice is also ever-changing, and it can only be recorded in a four-page and two-hundred-page cookbook. Dumplings are not only fried, but also steamed, boiled, fried and other cooking techniques.

It's not so much that foreigners don't know what Chinese food is, but rather that it's the Chinese food they've always watched, and the Chinese food they can accept with their own taste.

Just like the Chinese fried rice, Tianjin dumplings, and mapo tofu in front of you, although they are biased, they are much better than Li Hongzhang's chopped and Zuo Zongtang's chicken.

But what the hell is this DARK-like plating!

A plate of eight fried dumplings, one in the center, and the remaining seven are surrounded by symmetrical black kelp dumplings that are wound along a certain pattern and are also wrapped in symmetrical kelp and tied to a cross wooden strip in the center.

This...... This kind of déjà vu of watching your brother's video on NICONICO is the same thing!

"This is the restraint of the Taira, and it is based on the plating design concept derived from the history of the Heike being besieged by various armies, and the pepper sauce next to it represents the dark atmosphere." Isha Starr explains the concept of the dish, and his words are clear that he is often confronted with this process: "The dumplings are made with cabbage, chicken, cabbage, and beef, and are treated with brandy, and the soup is full of sauce."

European and American catering pay attention to plating, as long as it is not ready-to-eat fast food, they will pay attention to the exquisite plating. Even the better pizzerias have to make sure that a 12-inch pizza is sprinkled with 12 olives instead of 13 or 11 olives.

An important factor in the popularity of Linga's food trucks is nothing more than neatness and beautifully packaged in just the right amount of elegance at a low cost. This is the truth that everyone has a love for beauty, and it is no wonder that people like this affordable elegance.

And this Juxia downstairs is undoubtedly a mid-range party restaurant, which is quite popular. More than 20 tables were quickly filled, and even the street tables were full, and there were still people queuing outside, which is enough to prove that this restaurant with a Chinese restaurant brand is very popular in the neighborhood, which is rare among the conservative European and American people.

And the presentation of this dish, Lin Jia didn't know what to say, since it existed here, then naturally there was a reason for him, so let him go, at least the taste was not bad.

The puff pastry of the fried dumplings is just right, and the small kelp with a T-shaped symmetry on top is not superfluous, and the fresh taste bursts out from the inside. Brandy is a common way to cook meat with a plump and fluffy texture, and it breaks new ground with the original cooking methods.

Mapo tofu, on a crescent-like curved porcelain plate, the bright red sauce on the white plate is shocking, like a blooming red flower, and the even meat particles are sprinkled on the beige tofu, which looks so beautiful - but Linga frowned.

Scoop it up with a spoon and blow lightly, the piping hot sauce exudes the aroma of chili peppers, which makes Linga taste even more wrong.

Lin Jia scratched his head, now he didn't want to find fault, he felt that there was a better way to choose than to find fault and find a way to get back. But before that, let him see how many surprises this Ishtar can bring him.

The last plate of Tianjin dumplings is qualified. Because that plate of dumplings has a unique flavor and can still retain the characteristics of the original cuisine, it can be said to be a successful merger of China and the West.

And this plate of mapo tofu is not qualified. First, the taste of the eggs and the sauce are not compatible with the Japanese tofu used in this plate of tofu, and the gap between Japanese tofu and normal tofu is too big. The most important point of mapo tofu is that the tofu tastes good, so as to avoid the alienation of the sauce from the tofu. Japanese tofu is made with edible gelatin, which is convenient to preserve and greatly improves the shelf life, but it is far inferior to normal tofu in terms of flavor.

And the most important point is that he doesn't play peppercorns. This is enough to sentence this dish to death.

It may be that it is difficult for Americans to accept the problem of hemp due to local conditions, but this dish should also be sprinkled with spices that enhance the flavor - the fishy smell of tofu is too strong.

Linga closed his eyes and put spoonful after spoonful of mapo tofu into his mouth. After eating a spoonful, little George stopped moving, and instead ate the plate of fried dumplings, and the father and daughter ate the contents of the plate as if they were doing their own duties. Ista Starr on the side was very happy to see it, because he felt that he had won.

As a chef, especially a Chinese chef, how can I not understand what this means?

Normal European gourmets will not hesitate to express their feelings and praise for the chef at the first moment of tasting the delicious food, which will boost the chef's self-confidence.

But the Chinese won't, and Isha sees very well that this seemingly hostile yellow man is a genuine Chinese, and he is not like others who will not be able to distinguish the appearance of the Japanese. Speech by speech, pronunciation, spine, and physiognomy can distinguish the difference between the two, which is the basic skill of a chef.

Chinese diners are subtle in their compliments, as they silently finish all the food on their plates, sigh with satisfaction, and say "thank you" to him. This is the embodiment of the unique humility culture of this nation, and it is also a recognition of Ishtar himself, who is even ready to give the father and daughter free of charge.

However, it didn't.

When the last dish, Chinese fried rice, was served to Ishtar, things changed dramatically.

Because the Chinese looked at the plate of fried rice, touched his trouser pocket, and said to him: "Excuse me, can you borrow me for the kitchen?" ”
