Chapter 59 - Food Market (2/2)
Looking at Aryan thinking about something, he didn't intervene and waited for him to snap out of it. After recollecting his memory, Aryan snapped out and asked Yoshino to find a good booth. As wished, she found them a proper booth, with empty seats, less crowd, and a spicy aroma.
Its name was Neon's Hors-d'oevure, a shop dedicated to food appetizers. Continuous sizzling and crackling sounds were coming, from behind the booth and two sleek but sturdy men were taking orders and serving food.
He found it somewhat weird as other cooks were doing live cooking to attract their customers, but this one was not doing anything of that sort and cooking behind the booth. Even though they weren't doing the live kitchen, the food decorated on the booth and the aroma was enough to lure in a huge crowd.
Another contradicting fact he observed was that even though it could easily attract a large group, only some people were seated there, and others were passing by without noticing it.
She looked at Yoshino and asked her through telepathy, ”Onee Sama, Why everyone out there is passing by without noticing this booth?”
”Fufufu, you noticed now?”
”Yea,”
”Fufu, owner of this shop, has erected a barrier around the shop, only those who are destined to eat his food will notice this shop, and the rest will pass by without noticing.”
”What barrier is this? Never knew such a thing exists that can attract who are destined and will ignore the rest.”
”It's his cultivation technique, Fate Diversion,” replied Yoshino and picked up the menu card on the wooden bench. Both of them took a look at the menu list and the ordered dishes for their own. Yoshino ordered chicken karaage with three different varieties of sauce, while Aryan ordered something that he had never seen nor eaten. He ordered a food dish called Dosa with two different types of chutneys.
After some minutes of waiting, one of the men working there served them with their respective orders. Karaage for Yoshino and Dosa for Aryan. The hot sizzling food and its appetizing aroma were too tempting for them, they were dripping saliva like a hungry wolf just to take one bite of the food before them.
Another surprising thing that Aryan found was Dosa was not a single dish like Chicken Karaage but a dish containing two parts. One was the outer layer, and one the other was filling or stuffing.
The stuffing was made from mashed potatoes and fried with different onions and spices to give out the spicy umami.. And was wrapped around by the outer layer part which was yellowish-white, and a mix of brown.
