Chapter 383 - Scene Stealer (1) (2/2)
As always, it was this comment ‘But…’ that made the pair nervous
“But I can’t find your culinary philosophy and identity clearly in your dish I just get the impression that you want to etables”
Another judge said, “The co new”
After all, their average score was 7 It wasn’t a bad score for a deood, compared with other pairs of the Rose Island main store And probably, they would not be able to advance into the octofinals because there were ot better scores than thees headed for the next pair
Funny enough, the next pair were Havier and Janet
Looking at thees said with a sain”
“So, how do you feel? Are you confident?”
“Well, we haveterrific chefs until now,” Havier replied with a pleasant voice
“I don’t think we’re going down here,” Janet said
“I like your confidence So, what did you make?”
“I made poith pine oil and put it under the plate then put a tortellini with cheese, egg yolk, and gelatinous stuffing Finally, I put barley powder and ground truffle on top”
It was a very simple dish on the surface In fact, Janet didn’t like that idea very much because they were now in the competition But Havier persuaded Janet to accept his idea because every part of it had a bit of Rachel’s recipe Making stuffing with egg yolk, cheese, and gelatin, or seasoning it with powder h the way he cooked it was different, it hat he learned from Rachel
And that hat Havier chose to do in this contest If he could not catch up with the geniuses’ senses, he couldthe behind the far behind the up like this step by step, he could hope to walk side by side with thees noas more important to him than ever
Whether they responded to his dish favorably would be deter world or not
“This…”
Finally, Norris opened his mouth
Havier watched hies implicitly showed that they valued Norris’s feedback thehis ears for Norris’s coht were the most important
“It looks like you’ve sweated a lot to make this dish,” Norris said
“Don’t worry, my sweat is edible, hahaha”
Havier cracked a joke leisurely as if he was relaxed Janet signaled to him not to be overly excited, but he was not Rather, he was extremely tense So
Fortunately, Norris sht and clear to Havier like sunshi+ne
“You’ve worked a lot The effort you’ve put in here is the most visible in this co ranging froredients to the combination”
“Thank you”
“I watched you cooking here You were cooking, taking care of each scale, and that kind of delicate approach has hly sprinkled powder, but it’s not that much, and so is the amount of truffle And the size of this tortellini was the ht the best taste of cheese Just keep cooking like this Thank you I enjoyed it a lot ”
Norris was done evaluating But at that moment, Havier felt like he was deeply choked with tears He was finally recognized But he was nized his dish He was glad that Norris finally appreciated his efforts to get above the ordinary and banal His recognition meant that Havier’s efforts up to noorthwhile, not wasteful
Havier felt he got a big load off his chest But he clenched his fistsdetermination He raised one heel and slowly scratched the end of the ground with it
Other judges kept rating his dish, and their evaluation wasn’t very different froenerous e score was 9
People around him shook their heads and muttered, “As expected, the name of Rose Island is so valuable” Until now they an to pay attention to him and Janet, too
Havier looked at Min-joon, who, in turn, was looking at hirateful for his smile and envied it, too He also wanted to stand there and smile at somebody like that He wanted to be someone who could smile like that He wanted to become a chef like Min-joon, make a dish like him, and stand by his side
‘Oh…’ Only then did Havier realize so ‘I really respect Min-joon’
