Chapter 58: Magic Chef (2)
Whittaker picked up the porcelain bowl and scooped up spoon after spoon of Egg-Fried Rice. The heat from the chili rushed up to his nose making him sneeze, but he was unable to stop.
"Nom nom!"
His face was almost buried into the bowl as he ate, it was somewhat similar to how Goku ate.
"Boy, the food isn't gonna run anywhere. Slow down." Christopher Nolan, the giant kindly reminded the snowy-haired boy.
Whittaker lightly glanced at him in protest, 'The food has legs and it will go away if I slow down!'
He didn't say anything as he knew that the rice will fly out of his mouth if he did that.
Afterward, he buried his face in the bowl again. He took bigger mouthfuls to satisfy his hunger and desires.
"Be careful," Patricia said as she saw his reckless actions, "In case you choke on the rice!" Jennifer added. In a sense, she was simply stating the truth, but Christopher and Patricia glared at her. She was a sharp tongue woman who didn't hold back on her words, even if she's talking with a kid. That's her nature and they knew it.
The kid in question was lost in bliss!
Whittaker has never had such a feeling that he was feeling right now, he didn't care about embarrassing himself, the food was just that good. He ate as fast as he could while drooling all over the place.
The fiery spiciness of the chili and the bitterness of the lemon rice mixed with the mellow smell of the egg and the umami flavor of the chicken bursts into his mouth with every bite. The energy rushed into the pit of his stomach and spread out. All the soreness caused because of hunting and learning started to dissipate.
Normally, a 3-star magic chef can only a 2-star egg fired with the same ingredients Jennifer has used. The reason behind the dish being high-leveled was because of the work she had put in to master the dish. Jennifer has improved her dish by a level. Rather than simply adding fish sauce into the egg-fried rice, she smoked the soft and tender chicken pieces with fish sauce to increase the umami flavor of the chicken which has led to the creation of a peak 3-star egg-fried rice with maximum efforts and low-level ingredients.
The three adults worriedly gazed at Whittaker, hoping he won't choke. They were already prepared to rush at his side the moment he shows signs of distress. But they didn't know that Snowy-haired people could swallow a chicken whole if they so wish to, and Whittaker was secretly one.
Under the eyes of the three adults, he used his tongue to lick the entire bowl clean and swallowed the last grain of rice. Putting the bowl down, he finally breathed out with a satisfied expression on his face.
He had broken a record by finishing the porcelain bowl of egg-fried rice in under a minute without choking even once!
"How was it?" Jennifer was secretly feeling anxious. She wanted to know how the young boy felt about her dish, a dish she had put in all her effort and heart to prepare.
"It was absolutely delicious~ Burp~~" Whittaker replied with a blushing face that enticed the two women to glare at him, a bashful face on a snowy pale boy. That was what they both stan!
Jennifer slightly blushed because of Whittaker remarks. She felt proud and happy because of being praised.
He wasn't done yet, and right after burping, he picked up the glittering golden fried chicken. Whittaker didn't look left or right, he simply started to dig in, one bite at a time.
Krunch ~ Krunch! The thick and creamy juices splattered out of the Crunchy Fried Chicken and filled his mouth.
Christopher, Jennifer, and Patricia came to an understanding that nothing will happen to him, the two magic chefs gazed at her, telling her to start eating and judge their food, as Whittaker wasn't a qualified judge.
The first thing to judge is how the palate is decorated. Patricia stared at the two dishes with wide scrutinizing eyes.
On top of the white porcelain bowl were Scarlet rice grains. Every single grain was wrapped in fiery chili flakes and golden egg liquid. The lustrous blue hue of mana was sprinkled evenly on every rice grains. Adorned with chunks of chicken that wafted out an umami flavor, Jennifer's dish looked perfect to the eyes. Whereas Christopher's dish glinted with a golden radiance. Some of it was shunned by the sauces, but the sauces created waves that swirled with battle energy.
She glanced closely and found out that the fried chicken seemed to be swimming over a lava lake with a sandy slide.
Patricia opened her enticing lips and announced in her angelic voice, "Both of the dishes are shining... Full marks!" contemporary romance
Christopher and Jennifer glanced at each other and smiled. It seems like there is a high chance that their relationship could mend, but someone needed to give them a push!
"Go on, taste it!" They said.
The second thing to judge is the taste and effect of the Dish. Staring at the bowl of Egg-Fried Rice and the palate of fried chicken in front of her, Patricia decides to first dig in the egg-fried rice, as the fried chicken can overwhelm the taste of rice.
She dug into the intoxicating rice. Her fair-skinned face flushed red. Her angelic face once flushed red seemed lustful to the eyes of many, it was tempting enough that others would want to take a bite of her.
One bite... Two bites... Three bites and done!
She couldn't continue otherwise, she won't have a place in her stomach to eat the fried chicken.
She continued with a fried chicken. A single bite and she couldn't stop herself. After a while, she licked the crystal clear bone and placed it down.
"So, how is it? Who won?" Christopher asked Patricia.
"Is my dish better than his?" Jennifer asked Patricia.
