Chapter 185 Spinach Cheese Chicken Breast Roll
"Hello, here's your spinach and cheese chicken breast roll that you ordered," He Xiaoqian placed a plate in front of Han Feifei.
The latter couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the food on the plate.
Not just Han Feifei, but Shen Yue sitting across from her, and other patrons in the restaurant at the time couldn't help but crane their necks to look over.
The first reaction of everyone who saw the dish was amazement.
The golden-brown chicken breast was wrapped with a thin layer of ham, split in the middle, and spread out in an alternating pattern, revealing the tender green spinach inside.
The light yellow cream sauce at the bottom of the plate trailed in a very freehand manner, drawing two arcs of different sizes in the white porcelain dish, echoing each other from a distance. Your journey continues with empire
On the larger arc, the chicken was placed, while the smaller arc held mushrooms and asparagus.
It was further embellished with broccoli sprouts and Scana seedlings.
It gave a sense of harmony, the beauty of life intertwined.
Some who had originally thought that Ma Lu was showing off by setting high prices after opening the shop now felt that selling this dish for 108 yuan a portion didn't seem expensive.
This is the magic of presentation.
The same ingredients, the same taste, when arranged more attractively, customers are willing to pay a higher premium.
This is supported by research data.
In the traditional criteria for evaluating cuisine, "color, fragrance, taste, shape, meaning, and nutrition," color is even ranked first.
And it's not just color related to visuals; shape and meaning matter too, accounting for half of the six criteria.
This is not to say that taste isn't important, but most of the time, diners establish their first impression of a dish through observation.
If a dish has strange colors and suspicious shapes, many people lose their interest in tasting it right away, no matter how delicious it may be.
Conversely, even ordinary dishes, if presented beautifully, can whet one's appetite and stimulate a crazy secretion of saliva.
This is why presentation is also a fundamental skill for a chef.
Previously, Ma Lu had always been selling snacks at the West Gate of Aerospace University, and Old Wang had no way of showing his skills in this area.
The mother took out her phone and snapped a few photos, then reluctantly cut a small piece and placed it on her daughter's plate.
The piece disappeared in the blink of an eye.
With a hint of exasperation, she cut another piece.
But it vanished just as fast as before.
Looking at her daughter, she found the little girl's cheeks were stuffed full like a chipmunk's, yet her eyes were still fixated on the chicken in the plate.
Hebei Big Brother, with grandeur, waved his hand and said, "Let's get another one."
He Xiaoqian suggested, "Why don't you eat what you have first? There are still three bowls of Konjac Noodles and a piece of Konjac Cake left, don't let them go to waste."
"It's alright, we live far away and can't come often. If the kid likes it, it's good to order more to take away."
"Alright then."
Meanwhile, Han Feifei had already eaten half of her portion and noticed Shen Yue eyeing the remaining half, saliva almost dripping. She wiped her mouth and pushed the plate towards Shen Yue.
Shen Yue gave a thumbs up, "Mom, from now on, you're my real mom!"
After saying that, she eagerly started to eat, praising as she did.
"Damn, this is really delicious, but it feels so sinful, hahaha, I have to run laps at the playground tonight."
Seeing so many people praising the dish, the ones who hadn't ordered became restless, and soon three more tables placed orders for the spinach and cheese chicken breast roll, and the restaurant was soon enveloped by the aroma of cheese.
But the real highlight was yet to come.
Since Konjac is quite tricky to prepare, requiring grinding, mixing with alkali to neutralize toxins, and stirring repeatedly to make noodles, it took a longer time to prepare when starting to cook.
Fortunately, everyone was patient.
Even those who hadn't ordered the Konjac dish were reluctant to leave, waiting to see what a bowl of the 268-yuan Konjac Noodles would look like.
About 45 minutes later, the first pot of Konjac Noodles was finally ready.
When Ma Lu pushed the first batch of noodles out from the kitchen, the customers, who thought they wouldn't be surprised anymore, uncontrollably gaped in amazement.
