Chapter 262 - Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Queen Elsa (2/2)

“The Queen Elsa has a history of over three hundred years, it embarked on its maiden voyage as a cargo chef ship included in the fleet. Therefore, every thirty years, we hold a banquet here to commemorate this heroic vessel in a special way,” she said.

After briefly introducing the history of the Queen Elsa, the lady stepped back and cleared the way for the big screen.

The screen displayed the profiles of Chen Yu and Kalanto.

“These two gentlemen are the most skilled chefs participating in the competition. We now invite them to perform a culinary demonstration for us and also to select one who is the superior chef.”

Although the words were said with grandeur, a closer listen revealed that it was essentially an invitation for Chen Yu and Kalanto to duel it out in the kitchen.

Chen Yu had long been prepared and, without saying much, went straight to his mobile kitchen, picked up the ingredients on the table, and got to work.

Kalanto, on the other hand, strolled over leisurely and posed as if he were a recluse from the outside world.

The theme given by the competition organizers was “soup”!

And even the scope was clearly defined: they were to make fish soup!

Chen Yu chose an ordinary type of octopus, but he made many odd movements while cooking.

Kalanto seemed to take the competition very seriously, picking various ingredients with an almost obsessive meticulousness.

In less than twenty minutes, Chen Yu had already presented his completed soup to the judges.

In fact, the soup Chen Yu made was a simple squid soup, a common dish in the East, and not at all exotic.

However, Chen Yu had altered the sequence of seasonings and the method of stewing, giving the soup a unique taste.

As a result, when the judges tasted the soup, they couldn’t stop singing its praises. Seizing the opportunity, Chen Yu promptly took out several packets of preprepared dishes he carried and laid them in front of the judges.

“These are some new products I’ve just developed. If you’re interested, you can try them at home. They only need to be warmed up in the microwave for two minutes,” he explained.

The judges immediately became excited, already harboring an almost obsessive interest in Chinese cuisine.

Though they were connoisseurs in tasting, asking them to cook would be a challenge, especially Chinese dishes.

Now that such simple meal kits were laid out before them, they were of course eager to have them.

After finishing all this, Chen Yu dusted off his clothes and returned to his seat, and only then did Kalanto bring up his finished soup.

This guy’s soup was made from a type of ribbon fish found in the deep sea, rare and typically only seen in the shallows during earthquakes or volcanic eruptions underwater.

But the taste of this fish was truly exquisite, hence many spared no expense to venture into the deep sea to catch it.
