"How is it? How does it compare to your porcupine battle boar's roasted pork trotters?" Steve asked with a smile as he looked at Tony, who was cleaning the plate with minced garlic.
"If you had told me earlier that there was such delicious crayfish here, there wouldn't have been such a bloody roasted pork trotters," Tony said with a complicated expression.
"It seems that it wasn't a wonderful experience for you." Steve shrugged. The abyssal demons were arrogant to begin with. Although Tony was rather famous in the culinary circle, he wasn't a VIP that those boar-riding abyssal demons had to treat seriously. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to stay there for five days to eat the roasted pork trotters.
"I think I have fallen in love with Carapace Island. The slightly salty sea breeze, the beautiful and polite service staff, and the delicious minced garlic crayfish. It was an unbelievably wonderful experience," Tony praised as he put down the bowl. He still wanted more.
Steve looked at the remaining spicy crayfish and thirteen-spice crayfish. He looked up at Meg, and asked, "Boss, which one is heavier between spicy and thirteen-spice?"
"Is there a need to ask? There are so many spices in the thirteen-spice, so the taste is definitely heavier. Of course, I'll eat the spicy crayfish first." Tony chuckled as he was speechless at Steve's question.
"My personal suggestion is to eat the thirteen-spice crayfish first," Meg replied calmly.
"Hmm?" Tony was stunned.
"Alright," Stephen answered. He grabbed the thirteen-spice crayfish, and said to Tony, "Don't underestimate Mr. Mak's spicy crayfish. You will regret it."
"Heh, so what? I'm a demon who has tasted the whole roasted lamb with volcanic chili on Volcano Island. Can't I handle a mere spicy crayfish?" Tony said with a relaxed expression as if he didn't take Steve's words to heart. However, he still chose to eat the thirteen-spice crayfish first after hesitating for a while.
Compared to the mild and concentrated aroma of the minced garlic, the thirteen-spice crayfish's aroma was more complex and layered. It was the aroma of many spices that were mixed into the same crayfish.
When a chef was cooking, the most taboo thing to do was to mess things up. Not only would that ruin the taste of the food itself, but it would also cause the taste of the food to become strange due to the conflicting smells.
On the Demon Islands, the chefs mostly used three or four kinds of spices which were very common. They were mostly used to remove the fishy smell and simple seasoning so that the seafood that was fished out from the sea and the wild animals that were produced on the island could bring out their own fresh taste to the greatest extent.
However, Meg had added thirteen or even more spices and condiments to such a small crayfish. This was really unbelievable.
Tony took a whiff of the fragrance and frowned slightly. Other than confirming that there should be sea salt here, he couldn't tell what any of the spices were.
For a food critic who claimed to have an excellent sense of smell, this made him feel a little frustrated.
However, the large number of spices didn't make the aroma chaotic or difficult to accept. If one carefully sensed it, they would have a wonderful sense of being attracted by it step by step.
"It's very difficult to distinguish whether the chef randomly combined the flavors or intentionally created such a wonderful taste. As for whether he can guarantee that he can make the same taste every time, that's a greater test of the chef's ability." Tony was deep in thought. He also broke off the crayfish's head and removed the shell, revealing the plump crayfish roe. Then, he took a bite.
The plump crayfish roe was already soaked in the broth. The fresh crayfish roe collided with the complex aroma. At first, the taste buds were slightly uncomfortable, as if they didn't know what taste to send to the brain first. Then, the spices and spices seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. All kinds of flavors began to appear on the scene and began to bloom with their own wonderful taste.
Numbing, spicy, fresh, fragrant, sweet, tender … A surprising battle was going on in the mouth. Without any suspense, Tony was completely defeated.
At this moment, he finally acknowledged the boss's words. There were definitely no less than thirteen spices in it, and there would only be more.
Moreover, the rich taste and the surprising layering all displayed the chef's extraordinary memory of spices.
After swallowing, the fragrance lingered in the mouth. One mouthful after another, it was so delicious that he couldn't stop!
Tony was already on his knees at the sight of the thirteen fragrances that could make one fall into depravity.
"This thirteen-spice crayfish is not inferior to the garlic crayfish. No one on the Demon Islands can beat it." Tony gave a thumbs up. Then, he skillfully peeled the crayfish shell and ate the crayfish meat that was soaked in the thirteen-spice broth. After eating, the fragrance lingered in his mouth and teeth.
After eating the thirteen-spice crayfish, Tony's gaze was fixed on the last spicy crayfish. The garlic crayfish and thirteen-spice crayfish had already brought him too many surprises. The mild garlic crayfish and the rich thirteen-spice crayfish had already satisfied all his imagination about crayfish.
What was so special about this spicy crayfish?
In fact, he didn't have much expectation in his heart. After all, it was already very difficult for a chef to have an amazing specialty dish. Such a chef usually couldn't do anything well if he wanted to do everything well.
"Indeed, spicy crayfish is my favorite." Steve had already grabbed the spicy crayfish and was eating it with relish. He was panting heavily, and found a gap to take a sip of cold beer. Then, he let out a long sigh of relief. The satisfaction on his face made the corners of everyone's lips curl up uncontrollably.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Tony was skeptical. He also reached out to grab the crayfish, peeled the back of the crayfish, and took out a piece of meat. He dipped it in the red broth, and took a big bite.
The numbness and spiciness bloomed on the tip of his tongue. It was a taste that was even more explosive than the thirteen-spice crayfish. It made his tired taste buds, which had been active for a long time, soar instantly and began to cater to the spiciness crazily.
Tony's face turned red immediately. There were very few demons on the Demon Islands that liked spicy food, so he wasn't good at eating spicy food. However, as a professional gourmet, ordinary spicy food wouldn't make him have much of a reaction. However, this numbing and spicy feeling was like a needle that suddenly pierced his buttocks, giving him a jolt.
The numbness on the tip of his tongue didn't last for long. After chewing on the crayfish meat that had absorbed the spicy broth, the fresh and fragrant spiciness began to appear, bringing an incomparable wonderful experience.
"Sss … Sss … Sss … Sss …"
After swallowing a mouthful of crayfish meat, Tony panted heavily. Apart from the delicious taste, the numbness and spiciness were his strongest feelings. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. This was an intense taste that he had never experienced before. It was even more intense than the bloody roasted pig trotter yesterday.
"At times like this, a mouthful of cold beer is the best." Steve raised his glass and gestured. Then, he tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
"Oh, right. Wine!" Tony's eyes lit up, and he also picked up the glass on the table. The glass that had a black stone texture was cold to the touch, making him feel refreshed. He couldn't wait to take a big gulp.
"Sss …"
A sound automatically sounded in his mind.
"Awesome!"
Tony exclaimed.
