Chapter 659 - Agree Without Any Hesitation (1/2)
“The vermicellis appeared sparkling and translucent, every single one of them is smooth yet springy. The layer of minced meat on them is sufficiently springy as well. Even though the minced meat was so tiny, it still had broth wrapped within and feels very nice to chew on,” Xing Min analyzed in satisfaction looking at the completely empty plate and bowl before him.
“I don’t think you need to wash this bowl,” by the side, Lee Yanyi made a snide remark.
“You aren’t any better off than me,” unwilling to be outdone, Xing Min said while looking at Lee Yanyi’s bowl.
“I’m being thrifty. We have rules here,” Lee Yanyi said righteously. One had to wonder what his face was made of to be so shameless.
He seemed to have forgotten the incident where he was nearly blacklisted the first time since he didn’t finish his food here.
“The signature dish is really something. I found that the minced meat wasn’t something marinated in advance and relied completely on the natural starch vermicellis have to stay stuck. What marvelous cooking skill,” Xing Min recalled.
“The shredded leeks included in the dish were spicy and hot too. Not only had they acted as a decoration to the dish, they had also enriched its flavor. This dish can both serve as the side dish or the main course by itself,” Xing Min praised repeatedly.
“You’re convinced already? There’s more to come.” It was clear that Lee Yanyi was feeling very smug.
It was as if he knew everything yet Xing Min knew nothing. Whenever Lee Yanyi was in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, he would have such a sense of superiority.
After all, Lee Yanyi was a long time customer of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant while this was Xing Min’s first time here.
“You will understand after eating this,” Lee Yanyi pointed at the spoon filled with Egg Fried Rice and said.
“Eat this?” Xing Min looked at Lee Yanyi like he was looking at a madman.
Lee Yanyi had ordered an Egg Fried Rice with Jinling Prawns as the side dish. Naturally, none of the prawns were left. But he still had a final spoonful of the Egg Fried Rice left.
This final spoonful of had been set aside by Lee Yanyi using Xing Min’s spoon before he dug into his food.
However, Xing Min felt that Lee Yanyi was being ridiculous. What could this tiny bit of Egg Fried Rice do? Moreover, it was already cold by now.
After all, food cooked with chicken eggs would taste fishy when they became cold.
As far as Xing Min was concerned, after being placed aside for so long, this spoonful of Egg Fried Rice must have gone cold.
“Just eat it if I tell you to eat. Don’t you know the concept of giving it a taste?” Lee Yanyi grumbled.
After all, this spoonful of rice was left from Lee Yanyi’s own portion.
“Fine, I heard that this kid’s Egg Fried Rice is quite good anyway,” Xing Min muttered and placed the rice into his mouth.
“Wu?” Xing Min involuntarily cried out the moment the rice entered his mouth.
The instant the Egg Fried Rice entered his mouth, it was indeed cold as Xing Min had expected. However, after chewing on the rice, he found that there was still a tiny bit of warmth left in the rice.
The moment he chewed on it, the soft part of the rice came into contact with his teeth before erupting with the aroma contained within.
This was the taste of the freshness of the rice wrapped in the delicious flavor of the chicken egg. With the warmth of his mouth, the rice grains once again became soft and springy as well.
The golden chicken egg layered on the rice did not turn fishy just because it went cold. Rather, it had a distinctive cold aroma attached to it.
With the combination of the cold aroma of the egg along with the warmth of the rice wrapped underneath, two different flavors and feelings erupted in his mouth.
This was why Xing Min was so shocked.
This was but a tiny spoonful of rice. After chewing two times, it was finished.
“Very fragrant. This Egg Fried Rice is very fragrant,” Xing Min immediately praised.
“So which dish do you feel is the actual signature now?” Lee Yanyi never forgot about this.
“That’s not important. What’s important is, can I have one of this Egg Fried Rice?” Xing Min waved his hand, not planning to think of this for now. Eating more was his sole priority now.
“Sure you can. That does not go against the rules here. But you have to make the order yourself.” Lee Yanyi nodded.
