The food evaluation has now reached the third step, which is to taste the specific flavors.
Both dishes are the most authentic Chinese cuisine, so chopsticks are naturally needed to eat them. Huang Yiyuan has asked someone to bring five pairs of bamboo chopsticks, as well as bowls, plates and other kitchen utensils. The first dish the five gourmets tasted was Jim's Wang's Shredded Pork.
At this time, Jim's face showed a somewhat nervous expression as he watched the five gourmets pick up the shredded meat and put them into their mouths.
Mrs. Gao and He Chengqing in the audience were also paying attention to Jim at the moment. Jim should not have appeared too calm after taking those pills, but now he finally showed a somewhat nervous look.
Mrs. Gao asked He Chengqing nervously in a low voice: "What kind of reaction will occur if you take an overdose of those pills?"
"The user's breathing will become more rapid in a short period of time..." He Chengqing explained, then she took a few quick breaths and continued, "The user will involuntarily break out in cold sweat..." As she said this, He Chengqing wiped a layer of cold sweat that suddenly appeared on her forehead for some reason, and continued, "After taking this medicine, the user's pupils will become dilated and unable to concentrate." She shook her head vigorously. For some reason, she felt that Mrs. Gao's appearance began to double, and her head was dizzy.
"He doesn't seem to have this kind of reaction..." Mrs. Gao said strangely, turning her head to look at He Chengqing, and then she was stunned for a moment - breathing rapidly, sweating, pupils dilated...
"What's wrong?" He Chengqing asked Mrs. Gao curiously.
"Nothing... nothing..." Mrs. Gao shook her head in surprise and turned to the judges' seat with a stiff neck.
At this time, all five judges had already eaten the Wang family shredded pork.
"What do you think of the taste of this dish? Now you can start grading it." Robert said from the side.
Michelle was the first to speak. She nodded with a look of enjoyment. "This dish has the right amount of sweet and sour, and a unique flavor. It's a great food experience. Chinese cuisine emphasizes the diversity of flavors. A dish can contain a variety of flavors. However, although there are many flavors, they are compatible. This dish does a great job of this. Its deliciousness is enough to make me linger on it."
Listening to Michelle's words, it was obviously a compliment, but Mrs. Gao and Huang Yiyuan looked unhappy. I don't know if it was intentional, but Michelle has more than once attributed Wang's shredded pork to the ranks of Chinese cuisine, instead of using the term Chinatown cuisine, which vaguely pointed out her position.
Of course, these are not the most important things for now. The most important thing is the score she will give.
Mrs. Gao temporarily forgot about He Chengqing, who had become strange beside her, and waited with Huang Yiyuan for Michelle to give her answer to the evaluation.
"I can give this dish three points." Michelle paused for a moment and said with a smile.
Three points means that she is very satisfied with the dish, which is a full score, but the delicious taste has not exceeded her expectations and there is no surprise.
Both Huang Yiyuan and Mrs. Gao can accept this score.
But Jim showed a look of annoyance on his face. He was not satisfied with the score.
Chris was the next to speak. He clumsily picked up a piece of shredded meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After eating it, he said while enjoying it: "I used to not like Chinese cuisine, but now it seems that I have to take back this view. At least this dish is very delicious and I enjoy it very much. The sour and sweet taste is really good, so I also give this dish three points."
Another three-pointer.
The expressions on Mrs. Gao and Huang Yiyuan's faces were still a little complicated because Chris also mentioned the word "Chinese cuisine".
"I give this dish three points, too." Hannah was the next to speak. She propped her chin up with both hands and stared at the Wang's shredded pork on the plate. She seemed distressed. "Because I always feel that this dish is missing something, and the taste is a little wrong. It shouldn't be like this."
Gourmets all have the most natural intuition about food. Gourmets, especially high-level gourmets, are born with the ability to feel food. The taste of this Wang's shredded pork was not perfect. Although Hannah didn't know much about Chinese cuisine before, she still felt the imperfection.
Ye Chui, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but nodded slightly. This Hannah was amazing. She actually used her intuition to detect that there was a flaw in this dish.
Tony went on to say, "I think this dish is delicious, of course. It's still within my acceptable range, not unexpectedly delicious, so I give this dish three points. Sid, what's your score?"
"Three points." Sid was the least talkative of the five gourmets, but his words were the most conclusive. "No surprises. The taste seems to be slightly flawed. Of course, this is probably because we haven't tasted much Chinese cuisine before, but this taste is enough to satisfy me."
All five gourmets have given scores, five with three points.
This score means that the dish was tasty but not amazing.
Mrs. Gao, Huang Yiyuan, and Jim all showed a hint of worry on their faces. The total score was fifteen, which was already a full score, but it was a full score that lacked surprise points. If they had participated in other cooking competitions, getting this score would be enough to make them happy, but now their opponent was Ye Chui, and they could not expect his dishes to just get a satisfying full score.
It would be unrealistic for his dishes to not have surprises…
He Chengqing, who was sitting next to Madam Gao and Huang Yiyuan, was holding her knees tightly with both hands, staring at the front with a distracted look, but she couldn't concentrate. From the bottom of her heart, a wave of strange emotions surged, which made the corners of her mouth quietly curl up with a strange smile...
"Mr. Jim's Wang's Shredded Pork got a total of 15 points. Now, please invite five gourmets to taste Mr. Ye Chui's Beijing-style Shredded Pork." Robert faithfully performed his duties as the host and continued with a smile. The Beijing-style Shredded Pork he mentioned was pronounced phonetically, and his accent sounded a bit strange.
The photographer and host of BBC Food Channel stood on one side to film the food review, while the director stood on the other side of the hall and watched Han Yuyan log on to a Chinese food website to look up the recipe for the fish and shredded radish dish.
Just as Tian Xiaodu said before, this dish is not outstanding in taste - strictly speaking, the name of this dish should be called Fish-flavored Shredded Radish, but shredded radish is not as good as shredded pork after all. Although the dish has a fish flavor, the taste is very different from the famous dish Fish-flavored Shredded Pork. This makes this dish not very famous. Han Yuyan not only found a detailed recipe, but also found a high-definition cooking video.
Hearing that it was time for the Beijing-style Shredded Pork to be graded, Sister Han immediately gave up her seat in front of the computer to Tang Shanshan: "Shanshan, help them translate the content on this website."
"Oh, okay." Tang Shanshan said happily, this also costs money...
Han Yuyan left in a hurry, but of course, she did not forget her glass of water.
She looked at the coffee table where the cup of water had just been placed.
Then, Sister Han was extremely angry to find that the cup was still there, but... there was no water in it!
"Who stole my water?!" Han Yuyan was furious at that moment. She was looking forward to an indirect kiss...
This made Han Yuyan extremely angry.
He glared at the people sitting around the coffee table: He Chengqing, Jiang Yuemei, and two unfamiliar chefs from Shengdefu.
Han Yuyan cursed fiercely that the guy who stole his water would have misfortune today, and walked to Ye Chui sullenly.
"Where have you been?" Ye Chui asked Han Yuyan.
"Hehe, Senior Brother has discovered something interesting. Master, you will definitely like it." Han Yuyan said deliberately keeping the secret.
Ye Chui was stunned for a moment, and noticed that the five gourmets were already preparing to start tasting the dishes, so he ignored Han Yuyan.
Five gourmets were about to taste Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce, and then they all encountered a problem at the same time - how to eat this dish
"I've never eaten this dish. In fact, this is the first time I've seen it. Are these tofu skins just garnishes or do they have other uses?" Michelle said curiously.
Chris is impatient and said immediately, "I think it's just a garnish. Let me taste the dish first."
As he said this, he started to pick up the shredded meat covered with sauce.
Ye Chui was about to speak, but Robert spoke first: "This dish is not eaten this way. You have to wrap the shredded meat with tofu skin and put some shredded green onions and cucumbers in it and put it in your mouth together."
"What?" Chris paused, looking a little surprised. "This is too troublesome. And Mr. Robert, are you sure you can do such a precise and complicated operation with chopsticks?"
-Use chopsticks to wrap the shredded meat, green onion and cucumber together and put them into your mouth. This operation is simply amazing for those who are using chopsticks for the first time.
Not to mention Chris, even Gordon Ramsay couldn't handle it at first and swore loudly, and in the end he was fed this dish by Han Yuyan.
Among the five gourmets, Michelle was the most skilled in using chopsticks. When she heard what Robert said, she immediately followed suit. Although she was not very skilled in using chopsticks, she still managed to wrap a few pieces of shredded meat with shredded green onions and cucumbers in tofu skin and put them into her mouth.
This is already a difficult operation...
The other four gourmets followed suit, but it was difficult for them to pick up the food, let alone delicately unfold the tofu skin and wrap the food inside. A noise came from the hall.
Many people have been talking about this, thinking that this way of eating is simply a torture. Do they have to become masters of using chopsticks like in Kung Fu movies in order to eat this dish
This dish is definitely meant to make things difficult for the eaters.
When Mrs. Gao and Huang Yiyuan heard these discussions, their originally tense faces gradually relaxed.
But soon, Michelle's unexpected words made them nervous again -
“I give this dish four points!” (~^~)
