Hardcore Chef Dad - Vol 3 Chapter 1065
If the restaurant opens on time, it will be a little earlier than Su Ji.
This is to allow the guests of Ruo Restaurant to enter the restaurant first to avoid crowding with the people on Su Ji’s side.
Mrs. Potter and his party did not come together tonight. Actually only three people including Mrs. Potter came to the restaurant tonight.
It’s not that they don’t want to come together as a group, mainly because it is really difficult to book a seat in the restaurant.
The three seats of Mrs. Potter are not actually seats for a table.
The moment he entered the restaurant, Su Liancheng personally led the waiter to greet him at the door, and respectfully invited the guests to their seats.
After taking a seat, the first thing to do is to hand the towel to the guests at each table.
Then, instead of putting on the menu and recommending dishes, he gave each guest a snack before the meal.
There is also a cup of tea that is very sweet and delicious.
Everything is so elegant, almost without the guests taking the initiative to ask for it.
The waiter will be very considerate to the guests and take care of everything.
When everyone tasted the small snack before the meal, and the small cup of unique sweet tea, Feng Yifan led the people in the back kitchen to appear.
“Welcome to you tonight, the pre-dinner snacks you are tasting tonight are candied snacks specially designed and made by the dessert chef of our Ruo restaurant.”
Mrs. Porter and the others tasted this pre-dinner snack. The slightly sweet and sour in the mouth, the same as the sweet tea, the taste is very light, but when eaten in the mouth, there will be a hint of unique aftertaste. After a little bit of chewing, a unique fruity scent filled the mouth.
After eating, it seems that some taste buds are slightly opened, and I start to look forward to tonight’s dishes.
At the same time, the waiter has put on the menu and recommended today’s dishes.
However, there is no professional sommelier in Ruo restaurant, so it is usually recommended by the waiter.
Mrs. Potter and the others were slightly surprised by this.
Because in Mrs. Potter’s heart, Feng Yifan has always been a person who always strives for perfection. It stands to reason that he should not miss such flaws.
But Mrs. Potter did not directly ask the question, but after looking through the menu, she asked the waiter what recommendation she had?
The waiter is not humble or overbearing in the face of Mrs. Porter, because in the past few months, the waiter in the restaurant is also used to seeing foreign guests like Mrs. Porter.
The waiter directly recommended two packages to Mrs. Porter.
“This is the classic set meal created by our chef.
The other is the sous chef who launched a new set meal, which is also recognized by the chef, and it is a set meal that has only recently been launched. ”
Mrs. Potter thought for a while and said, “Then have your classic set meal.”
The waiter smiled and promised: “Okay, then do you have any taste preferences? And are you allergic to certain foods, or what kind of food do you dislike?”
Mrs. Potter was a little surprised when she heard it, but she did not expect that if the restaurant waiter would ask like this.
This was actually a must-have service for top restaurants, that is, you need to ask to understand the tastes of the guests, and then feed the tastes of the guests to the chef, and then the chef will adjust the dishes according to the tastes of the guests.
However, many three-star restaurants today may not necessarily do this.
If the restaurant can provide such service, it will be a plus in Mrs. Porter’s heart.
And Mrs. Potter understood all at once that Feng Yifan was still in good condition in many details.
Mrs. Porter also told the waiter about some taste preferences and some taboos, and when she saw the waiter, she would carefully record it on the list.
All this impressed Mrs. Potter very well.
After the order was almost finished, the waiter gave the order to Feng Yifan, who would re-serve some tea or drinks, and then some fruits for the guests to wait slowly.
Mrs. Porter also ordered a glass of wine, and then stared at the busy figure in the back kitchen.
This is not the first time Mrs. Potter has seen Feng Yifan cooking.
Mrs. Potter has always felt that watching Feng Yifan cooking is a different kind of enjoyment, no less than the surprise of tasting Feng Yifan’s various unique creative dishes.
Because Feng Yifan’s cooking process is exceptionally clean and neat, whether it is knife skills or various cooking techniques, he is so elegant and chic in his hands.
not only has the wildness of opening and closing, but also a very gentle and delicate process.
For example, Feng Yifan’s appetizer now requires very small French shortbreads to be placed on a plate, and then a very thin rolled ham slice needs to be placed on top, and finally some chili rings are garnished.
The entire process of placing the plate requires a very stable and delicate technique.
It might be difficult to imagine Feng Yifan as a tall and strong person who could be so delicate if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes.
Soon the appetizer was served to Mrs. Potter.
Looking at the exquisite dishes in front of him, Mrs. Potter felt very special.
At this time, the waiter said softly: “You can eat it directly with your hands.”
At this point, the waiter handed over clean and disinfected wet towels so that Mrs. Potter could clean her hands so that she could pick it up and eat directly.
This point makes Mrs. Potter very satisfied, and she also carefully wipes her hands clean with a sterile wet towel.
and put the wet towel back to the tray in the hands of the waiter, and then the waiter handed over a clean dry towel.
So, Mrs. Potter cleaned her hands, and then carefully picked up the small appetizers on the plate.
After looking carefully, Mrs. Potter finally put the dish in her mouth.
The moment she chewed in her mouth, Mrs. Potter tasted a very unique flavor.
First of all, the unique fragrance of sliced ham, mixed with the smell of firework after being fried, is really special in the mouth.
And when you start chewing, the ham slices are fried with mushrooms to overflow the juice, and then meet the bottom of the shortbread, it is really unique and delicious.
Mrs. Potter chewed and tasted, and suddenly felt a hint of spicyness on the tip of her tongue.
But this irritating tongue is fleeting, and it doesn’t give too much excitement.
When Mrs. Potter wanted to relish, the taste had disappeared, but it made her feel unusually delicious, and she had a feeling of wanting to continue eating.
Mrs. Potter looked shocked, the chili ring was slightly spicy, which really surprised her.
Quietly aftertaste for a moment, she took a sip of the wine in the glass, and she raised her head to look at the busy figure in the back kitchen.
I can’t help but sigh in my heart: Feng Yifan deserves to be Feng Yifan.
With such an appetizer, each of the following dishes also surprises Mrs. Porter frequently.
While tasting dishes, let’s take a look at such a small restaurant in front of you. The various layouts inside are full of warmth.
The warm decoration of the entire restaurant, on the contrary, makes the back kitchen disappear.
Sitting in such a restaurant, it feels like being in a warm home and savoring the feeling of family dinner.
Mrs. Potter unknowingly drank two more glasses, her cheeks were reddish, she had begun to feel a little drunk, but it still made her very comfortable.
When Mrs. Potter looked at the others in the dining room, everyone’s face was filled with that contented smile.
Obviously, if the atmosphere of the restaurant and the variety of dishes on offer satisfy the guests.
Finally it’s the main course, which is grouper.
is fresh and juicy, and has a layer of puff pastry, plus the embellishment of hazelnuts, which looks very consistent with the dishes in the entire set, light and very elegant.
After tasting such a main dish, Mrs. Potter sighed Feng Yifan’s skillful craftsmanship, but also felt a faint regret in my heart.
Such a good dish, if it is placed in some other better restaurant, and the tableware that should be standard is matched, I am afraid it is enough to become a three-star dish.
Now Mrs. Potter really doesn’t understand Feng Yifan.
With such a craftsmanship, why insist on those irrelevant things?
The dinner time at ruo restaurant is also relatively long.
Because every dish needs to be cooked, some dishes will take some time.
So if you eat a meal in a restaurant for several hours, it may be really normal.
But eating this meal at Ruo Restaurant does not make people feel tormented, because the various small points and side dishes interspersed in the middle of the set meal also make people feel very comfortable.
After the last dessert was served, the meal was over.
The guests can be said that they all got up with satisfaction and prepared to leave.
Originally Feng Yifan should have returned to Su Ji next door at this time, but he knew that Mrs. Potter might have something to say, so he still waited for a while.
sent away most of the guests, and Mrs. Potter also let the companions leave first.
She was left alone in front of the back kitchen, facing Feng Yifan.
“Feng, you must admit that your dishes are really excellent. It is still amazing to eat your own cooking again after many years.”
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: “Thank you for your love.”
Mrs. Porter went on to say: “It’s just that I don’t understand. Since the dishes are so exquisite and the taste is so good, why didn’t you follow the requirements?”
Feng Yifan looked at Mrs. Potter and could clearly see the regret in the other’s eyes.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yifan probably guessed what the other person was thinking.
“Mrs. Potter, I would like to ask, do you think there is a problem with every set of tableware in my restaurant?”
Mrs. Potter was taken aback, then shook her head and said, “Of course there is no problem, but…”
Feng Yifan interrupted the opponent without waiting for the other party to say it.
“I think that since my restaurant is opened in China, I naturally want to use some domestic tableware. Besides, I think the quality of our domestic tableware is not bad, and you must not forget that porcelain was originally a thing of our country, so I There is nothing wrong with using domestic porcelain.”
Such a remark made Mrs. Potter speechless for a while.
Feng Yifan continued: “I know that you have your standards, but in fact, I will not force you to rate me stars, just like I don’t want you to force me to comply with your standards.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Potter couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Feng, don’t you want this restaurant to get three stars?”
Feng Yifan said with a calm face: “You should actually be very clear that the star rating is not important to me. I only know that my dishes will be liked by every customer. I think this is enough. If you don’t want to recommend my restaurant , I don’t think I need your recommendation.”
Mrs. Potter was even more surprised. She didn’t expect Feng Yifan to say so.
You know, in so many years, countless chefs and restaurants hope to get their recommendation. In order to get a star, many restaurants and chefs have struggled with their brains and will do their best to do their best. According to They ask to do it.
Even many restaurants, in order to be able to get a star, will be specially decorated from the inside and outside, to all kinds of decorations, completely in accordance with their requirements.
Over the years, Mrs. Potter and everyone in the entire organization have become accustomed to that.
That is, whether it is a chef or a restaurant, they will unconditionally obey their requirements.
But today, when I met Feng Yifan, he was very direct and determined, and put on a look that I didn’t care about, which made Mrs. Potter very surprised.
Shocked for a long time, Mrs. Potter finally calmed down and said: “Feng, I know your cooking skills are great, but there are some standards that need to be followed. If you don’t abide by this standard, maybe you and your restaurant Unable to gain recognition.”
Feng Yifan said: “Then don’t need your approval.”
Mrs. Potter exclaimed: “Don’t you really need it?”
Feng Yifan nodded: “Yes, no, and as I said, I actually don’t need stars anymore. You should be very clear that it is easy for me to get stars, but I will not compromise with you.”
Mrs. Potter was a little helpless, but Feng Yifan was so determined, she was also helpless.
Finally, Mrs. Potter can only say: “Well~www.mtlnovel.com~ I will convey your attitude, and I can’t guarantee the result.”
Feng Yifan smiled and said, “Okay, thank you for coming.”
Mrs. Potter nodded, then turned and left Ruo’s restaurant.
After Mrs. Potter left, everyone who had been hiding behind also came out.
Catherine couldn’t help but said, “Chef, you shouldn’t actually be against Mrs. Potter like that. She has the right to decide, in case she…”
Feng Yifan looked at Catherine and smiled and said, “Don’t worry, routines are often used to break.”
Catherine was taken aback when she heard this, and then she understood what Feng Yifan meant.
After understanding, Catherine thought about it seriously, and felt that things seemed a little more incredible.
According to Feng Yifan, conventions are used to break.
What does this mean?
Can it be said that even in this case, if the restaurant can still get a star?
Seeing Catherine’s expression, Feng Yifan smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous, don’t need to be overly surprised. Whether you can get a star or not, everything depends on Mrs. Potter, but we have to have enough self-confidence, so we just need Stick to yourself.”
Mrs. Potter walked out of the restaurant and walked on the hustle and bustle of the ancient street. Her expression was also slightly solemn, and she hesitated for a long time.
Finally, when she was about to walk out of the ancient street, she looked back at Su Ji who was lining up in front of the door, and then at the restaurant next door. Mrs. Potter finally made a decision at this time.
