Chapter 565 - A Threefold Surprise

Chapter 565 A Threefold Surprise

“I can’t believe Febid is praising this dish as ‘delicious’! The best compliment I’ve ever seen him give any dish is “not bad’. This is incredible!”

“Most importantly, did he just say that the two cubes of beef are completely different in flavor? Being able to make one delicious flavor of roast meat is already praiseworthy, but this owner was able to make two delicious flavors of roast beef on one kebab! He must be an amazing chef.”

“It’s three types. Did you forget what I said about the three cubes of beef all being different in color? That’s clearly because they’re three different flavors rather than due to lack of control over the flames.”

Febid’s words sent the crowd into an uproar. Everyone wore expressions of surprise and excitement as they looked on eagerly.

“I’m looking forward to tasting this dish now.” Scheer looked at the intricate roast beef kebab before her and picked up her knife to slice off half a cube of beef. The blade of the knife sliced easily into the beef like a hot knife through butter, but the beef wasn’t sticking to the blade at all. The heavenly meaty aroma wafted toward her, and her eyes lit up with anticipation.

In her eyes, Ironhide Bull beef was just an ordinary ingredient. She would often eat higher-tier magic beasts for all three meals of her day. However, this tiny piece of beef on her fork was evoking an unprecedentedly strong reaction within her. There seemed to be a voice in her mind screeching madly, “Eat it! Eat it!”

Scheer picked up her fork and slipped the piece of beef into her sexy little mouth in an elegant and refined manner. As soon as the beef settled on her tongue, her eyebrows perked up, and her expression lit up even more.

The mouthwatering sauce on the surface of the beef and the juices of the meat flowing in her mouth instantly awakened her taste buds. She only had to chew lightly to provoke an explosion of meaty juices within her mouth, which combined with the sauce and condiments to create an incredible flavor. She felt as if a fireball had exploded in her mouth, transforming into countless smaller fireballs that were stimulating her palate.

The more Scheer chewed the meat, the more entranced she became in its flavor. She couldn’t help but chew more quickly, completely unable to stop until she swallowed the piece of beef. Even then, there was still an unforgettable aftertaste lingering in her mouth.

Scheer didn’t say anything. Instead, she picked up the beef kebab on her plate and bit off the remaining half of the first cube of beef. She closed her eyes and chewed carefully as a blissful smile appeared on her face. In the face of such a delicious dish, she had completely thrown her image of a graceful and refined gentlewoman out the window.

“This flavor is unbelievable. This is the most delicious dish I’ve ever had. Even Ducas Restaurant’s roast pig doesn’t hold a candle to this flavor.” Scheer was full of praise as she bit off half of the second cube of beef. This time, the garlic flavor had disappeared, and was replaced by a rich barbeque tang, which was a bit heavier in flavor. After devouring the second cube of beef, its delectable aroma was still lingering in her mouth as she attacked the third cube of meat.

“Young Mistress Scheer gave such a glowing review! She said that Ricky’s roast mutton is better than Ducas Restaurant’s, but it’s only an ordinary dish on their menu. The roast pig is Ducas Restaurant’s signature dish, and is the number one on the Aden Square food competition ranking board!”

“I can’t take this anymore. My stomach is about to shrivel up and die. Why do I have to be put through this kind of torture?”

“It’s over for Ricky’s Rotisserie. All five of the judges have been completely enthralled by the kebabs!”

Scheer’s review sent another stir running through the crowd. Her review had completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Ducas Restaurant’s roast pig was an extremely renowned dish which had to be reserved 15 days in advance. Even then, it was very expensive, and the average person would not be able to afford it without expending a significant chunk of their savings. However, the dish that was seen as the holy grail of all dishes in the Aden Square had been proclaimed as incomparable to Mag’s roast meat, and that review was being given by Young Mistress Scheer from the Buffett Family of all people. Her words held a lot more credibility as she had undoubtedly tasted Ducas Restaurant’s roast pig on many occasions, thereby making her review hold more weight than Febid’s.

Ricky’s face had turned completely pale, and his hands were trembling behind his back, but he was forcing himself to remain calm.

In contrast, morale had fallen to an all-time low among the employees of Ricky’s Rotisserie. All of them had their hands balled up in tight fists with dejected expressions on their faces. They could already sense the impending shadow of career instability in the near future.

Meanwhile, Robert had already bit off the third cube of beef on his kebab. An expression of surprise and joy immediately appeared on his face as he did so. This kebab was filled with an intrusive spicy flavor, making him feel as if there were tiny fireballs exploding on his taste buds. The oil and juices within the meat then worked to fuel the flames, instantly igniting his entire palate.

After tasting the garlic and barbeque-flavored cubes of roast beef, Robert actually wasn’t looking forward to the third cube of beef all that much anymore. No matter how delicious something was, the feeling of surprise and amazement would inevitably fade when tasting it for the third time.

However, his preconceived notion was completely shattered as the third cube of beef entered his mouth. The stimulating spicy flavor was only just the beginning. After igniting his taste buds, the delicious aroma hidden beneath the spicy facade began to exude its unique charisma.

In contrast with normal spicy dishes that only focused on stimulating the tongue in an almost unbearable manner, the spicy flavor in this cube of beef wasn’t as difficult to handle. Instead, it complemented the original flavor of the beef, taking it to a higher level. After swallowing the cube of beef, Robert felt as if his entire stomach had been warmed up, and he couldn’t help but praise, “The three cubes of beef have given me a threefold surprise. The garlic flavor is delicious and refreshing, the barbeque flavor is rich and unforgettable, while the spicy flavor is irresistibly stimulating. All three cubes of beef come from the same kebab, but they present completely different flavor experiences, all of which are incredible in their own way.”

Robert turned to Mag with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Such a man could only be described as a genius. Not only had he created the perfect roast meat, the sequence of the three cubes of beef further highlighted his wisdom. If he were to place the spicy-flavored roast beef first, the remaining two cubes of beef would inevitably pale in comparison.

“Phew-“

The other four judges put down the bamboo skewers in their hands at the same time and heaved a sigh of contentment. Scheer stuck out her tongue in a rare display which reminded everyone of the fact that she was still a very young woman rather than a seasoned female tycoon. However, she then quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

The professor remained silent for a while before heaving a long sigh. “I don’t even know what to say anymore. I’ve been stunned on three separate consecutive occasions by this tiny kebab. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. When I calm down after getting home, I’m going to reflect on this feeling and write a review that will hopefully do this amazing dish justice.”

“This roast meat is far beyond anything I could ever make.” Shire’s review was very simple, and he wore a slightly dejected expression as he delivered it.

The entire crowd had fallen completely silent. It appeared that the result was now obvious, but they still wanted to hear the final verdict being delivered by the judges.

Mag turned to the five judges with a calm expression, and prompted, “Judges, please announce your final decisions. Pick a victor between the roast mutton and the roast beef.”
