Chapter 194: Stunning taste buds...

The dessert on the 10th was served late.

Having already tasted so many desserts, to be honest, the taste buds of James and other judges have been eroded by the previous desserts.

In terms of taste, I have become immune to desserts.

In particular, there are excellent desserts No. 6 and No. 9 in front.

If dessert No. 10 wasn't enough to impress them.

So the score of number 10 will definitely be much lower than the previous desserts.

This is also the reason why the participating chefs want to finish their desserts as quickly as possible and send them to the judges for tasting.

In a food competition like this, the further you go, the more you suffer. Unless the food prepared by the participating chefs is amazing enough.

And the dessert No. 10 made by Mo Qingyan has all the qualities to become a big hit.

At the very least, when the staff opened the insulated food box and took out the desserts, James and the other five judges were all amazed by the gorgeous, lifelike lotus cakes.

"Oh my god, this this this... is this dessert?"

"Was it the wrong delivery? How could this be dessert?"

"Is this a model? How did you get the model up here?"

Several judges couldn't believe that the plate of beautiful, lifelike and exquisite lotus cakes in front of them was a dessert.

Everyone thought it was a model.

The audience who were watching the live broadcast couldn't help but laugh after seeing their reactions.

"Here they come. I knew they would react like this."

"I just like their inexperienced look."

"Don't even mention them. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a model."

"Brother Mo made it so realistic, it looks just like a real lotus."

…

Let’s not talk about how Mo Qingyan’s lotus pastry tastes, but its appearance and appearance alone are enough to kill all the previous desserts in seconds.

The surprised words of James and other judges in the dessert group instantly attracted the attention of the judges from other groups nearby and on the opposite side.

"What's wrong? Why are James and the others so surprised?"

"Yeah, this is the first time I see them so surprised."

"I just heard them say that a contestant brought up a model as a dessert?"

"No way? This is an international food festival competition. Serving the model as a dessert, isn't that deceiving James and the others? Does the participating chef want to quit the cooking world?"

…

It just so happened that at this moment, there was not much time left before the end of the game.

Many of the participating chefs have already prepared their competition dishes.

Basically, the judges are all from within the company, and they are all free.

Some stretched their necks, while others simply stood up, wanting to see what was going on.

The judges who were close by could basically see the lotus cakes on James's desk.

When the judges saw the lotus crisps, their faces were filled with disbelief.

“Is this dessert?”

"No way? Can dessert be made like this?"

“Is this a model?”

…

"Gao, have you ever seen desserts like this?" A Western gourmet judge next to Gao Moqi asked Gao Moqi.

Gao Moqi shook his head, "No."

For some reason, looking at the lifelike lotus pastry, Gao Moqi had a hunch that this might have been made by Mo Qingyan.

It’s not that Gao Moqi is blindly confident in Mo Qingyan.

Gao Moqi is quite familiar with the chefs in the dessert group.

Know their cooking skills.

It is impossible for Western chefs to make such a Chinese-style dessert.

And Mo Qingyan is the only Chinese chef among those chefs. Moreover, what Mo Qingyan likes and is best at is creating various kinds of delicious food.

Considering the above conditions, this dessert was most likely made by Mo Qingyan.

"Is this really the dessert for No. 10?" James couldn't help but ask the staff.

"Yes." The staff member knew why James and the others were so surprised, because he was also very surprised when he saw the dessert.

"How can this dessert be made like this?" James remembered a Chinese saying, which is "eye-opening."

Another gourmet judge said: "Yeah, I can't bear to eat it when it's cooked like this."

It’s a pity that no matter how reluctant you are, you still need to taste it.

No matter how beautiful the dessert is, it is useless just to look good. Taste is the final criterion for scoring.

When tasting other desserts, the judges used forks.

When they changed to the lotus pastry, they couldn’t bear to destroy the shape of the lotus pastry, nor were they willing to destroy it.

So, they all reached out their hands carefully and gently picked up the lifelike lotus cakes.

When I picked it up, the petals of the lotus crisp seemed like real petals, and they trembled slightly.

James' heart seemed to tremble as well.

Oh my god, how can this dessert be so beautiful?

James moved his hands more carefully.

James withdrew his reluctant gaze, and finally made up his mind. He put the lotus crisp to his mouth, opened his mouth, and took a bite.

James' eyes suddenly widened.

This taste...

This lotus dessert was different from all the desserts he had eaten before.

The desserts he had eaten were either soft or crispy.

The texture and taste of this lotus dessert are very unique and amazing.

The first taste is crispy, then fragrant, and finally sweet.

The taste was progressive, instantly astonishing James' taste buds.

Western pastries also have a crispy texture, but that kind of crispness has a hardness to it.

The crispness of this lotus dessert is neither hard nor soft.

But it's the kind that's moderately soft and hard.

Then, there is the fragrance.

It was a rich and refreshing fragrance of lotus seeds.

It's just like the noble fragrance of lotus.

Then there’s sweetness.

He had tasted quite a few desserts before, so logically, the sweetness his taste buds would taste at this moment would be a greasy sweet feeling.

However, the sweetness of this lotus dessert, although strong, is not at all greasy.

It's a very sweet kind.

This kind of sweetness is like a touch of freshness in those thick paints, which can instantly wipe out the greasiness caused by those desserts.

The word "stunning" is not only reflected in the shape of this dessert, but also in its taste.

James couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy the wonderful feeling that the dessert brought him.

The same goes for the other judges.

This snack is not very big and I finished it in just two bites.

After eating, several judges unexpectedly felt that they were still not satisfied, and reached out their hands involuntarily, wanting to take another one to taste.

As a result, I found that the lotus dessert was no longer on the white porcelain plate.

Only the decorative lotus leaves remained.

I was immediately disappointed.

"How come this is gone?"

"Why is it so little? You only made 5 snacks?"

"This lotus leaf looks like it can be eaten."

“Lotus leaves are edible, right?”

“Lotus leaf should also be a dessert.”

The lotus flowers were gone, and the judges reached out to the emerald green lotus leaves used as decoration.

As a result, it was discovered that lotus leaves are indeed desserts and can be eaten.

The lotus leaves have the same crispy texture, and the fragrance is completely different from that of lotus flowers.

Rich green tea flavor, but equally refreshing.

It was a plate of snacks, but unexpectedly, several judges even paid attention to the decorations.

Moreover, after eating, I still feel unsatisfied.

There is no need to ask the curious judges from other groups. Seeing their expressions, you will know that this lotus dessert is not just beautiful to look at.

The taste must be very good too.

Otherwise, James and the others would not have eaten even the decorations.

Looking at them like that, the other judges were very curious at this moment about what the beautiful lotus dessert tasted like.

As foodies, they basically can't walk or take their eyes off when they see delicious food.

What's more, this food is not only delicious, but also looks very beautiful.

At this time, many gourmets began to regret why they were not assigned to the dessert group?

If you are assigned to the dessert group, you can taste the lotus dessert.

"This dessert is the most delicious dessert I've had today. It's also the most delicious and best-looking dessert I've had in a long time."

James gave it very high praise.

Western desserts are actually very sweet.

However, true gourmets don’t actually like desserts that are too sweet.

Because gourmets have a very sensitive sense of taste.

What is considered a very sweet dessert to ordinary people is so sweet to them that it makes them want to vomit.

Therefore, the desserts made by the participating chefs are actually less sweet than ordinary Western desserts.

Despite this, the sweetness is still high.

The sweetness of this lotus dessert is like a breath of fresh air among these Western desserts.

It really amazes the taste buds.

James is one of the more picky and rigorous judges among these judges.

He could give a full score, and so could the other judges.

"This lotus dessert is so delicious, I give it 10 points too."

"I'll give you 10 points too."

“I have to give it 10 points.”

"10 points, what a pity, it's just too little. I haven't eaten enough yet!"

"Could this dessert be made by Apps? I heard that he has created a lot of new desserts recently."

"I think it should be Ruth who made it. Ruth's talent in desserts is much higher than that of Aps."

The judges were guessing which chef made the dessert.

Unfortunately, no matter how they guessed, they couldn't guess that it was Mo Qingyan, the Chinese chef.

After all, Chinese chefs are really not good at desserts.

The Chinese audience were somewhat indignant when they heard what the judges said.

"Full marks, great. Mo Qingyan got full marks. This is the first time that China has received full marks in the dessert field!"

"This lotus dessert is obviously the style of our China. Why didn't they guess it was Mo Qingyan?"

"Although I admit that Aps and Ruth are very talented in making desserts, and they are both international dessert masters. However, they simply can't make this kind of dessert."

"Not a single judge guessed our Brother Mo. Bad review."

“When they find out that this dessert was made by our brother Mo, they will definitely be very surprised.”
