Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: Chapter 259 King of Dim Sum (2/2)
Chen Yu suddenly took a deep breath and then his hands began moving faster, becoming a blur. The people around could hardly see what he was actually doing.
Half an hour flashed by, and both of their preliminary preparations were completed; now it was time to start steaming.
Dough figurine desserts and fondant are not the same. Fondant involves directly molding sugar into various figurines, which is relatively simple in comparison.
But dough figurine desserts are different. The fermentation and steaming processes must be taken into account when making the raw dough.
During this process, the previously crafted dough figurine desserts could easily become deformed.
Therefore, strict control over the heat and the steaming basket was necessary, with strict oversight required for each step, allowing no room for any exposes.
Dolance was already as tense as could be. He watched his steaming basket like a hawk, not daring to slack off even a little.
As time ticked by, steam began to rise from Dolance’s basket, and if he maintained this condition, the contents would be ready to come out in ten minutes.
In contrast, Chen Yu appeared utterly relaxed, as if, for him, this was all too simple of a task.
Moreover, the steaming basket he used was astoundingly basic, a huge rectangular one.
You should know that when making this kind of dough dessert, the larger the steaming basket, the less likely it is that the contents will cook thoroughly.
After all, food is not just for looking at, it also has to end up being edible. Although some dishes may look magnificent on the surface, beautiful enough to feast one’s eyes on, if they taste half-cooked when you take a bite, then it’s a failed dish.
About ten minutes had passed when Dolance suddenly stood up, inserting the timer and then opened the steaming basket.
In front of everyone appeared an array of tiny animals, each one seemingly alive, vivid and lifelike, especially at the moment they came out of the basket, looking incredibly fluffy.
From a distance, it appeared as if these little creatures in the steaming basket were vying for beauty and attention.
The audience immediately got excited. After all, Dolance was their King of Dim Sum, and his creations were naturally incomparable.
By comparison, Chen Yu remained extremely calm. He simply uncovered his rectangular steaming basket and tossed it aside, then pulled up a stool and sat down beside it.
“These little animal dough figures and such, those are just leftovers from our Eastern ancestors’ playthings. Now, what we play with is this!”
With these words, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
As the steam cleared, the crowd’s gaze turned blank.
What emerged from within the steam was a complete Tang Dynasty palace banquet scene!
Every character’s figure was lively and lifelike, further enhanced by the surrounding color of the sugar decorations, creating a scene that seemed almost as if it was a painting brought to life.
Various flowers, birds, fish, insects and details were embellished upon it, making everyone stare in wonder, some even burst into applause.
Even Dolance stood there, staring blankly, somewhat at a loss.
