"The fish is tender, light, sweet, and mellow. The Tucker Hotel's exclusive sauce adds layers to the fish's taste. This steamed yellow arowana is amazing!" Gourmet David was the first to speak. He was full of praise for Iman's steamed yellow arowana.
"The fish's texture is excellent. The control of the heat is just right. The choice of sauce and seasoning is also very good. It accentuates the freshness of the yellow arowana and elevates the taste to another level." Another judge praised.
"I think this turtle soup is the best. It's my first time tasting a three-thousand-year-old black jade turtle. This stewing method is not a waste. It's a wise choice to not add too many ingredients. The crystal melon added at the end didn't affect the taste of the soup at all. Instead, it added a hint of fragrance." Old Hunter put down the bowl in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
…
The judges expressed their opinions and gave their comments on the two dishes.
Meg casually brushed oil on the lamb chop and flipped it while eating the melon.
From the judges' comments, Iman's steamed yellow arowana was obviously better than Alfonso's stewed turtle. Although the black jade turtle soup was also highly praised, the overly simple cooking method covered up the contestants' cooking skills to a certain extent.
After the comments, the judges directly gave their scores to the two dishes.
The competition used a hundred-point system. Each judge's score was based on a ten-point system. The total score of all the judges was the total score.
The scores were quickly calculated.
Iman got 90 points and was temporarily in first place.
Alfonso got 82 points and was temporarily in second place.
90 points was considered a good score in this season's competition. Coupled with Iman's third-place PK value, he was basically guaranteed to be in the top four.
As for Alfonso, whose PK value was at the bottom, he was basically eliminated.
Meg nodded in his mind. Iman's stable performance, coupled with his status as a backdoor entrant, still only got 90 points. It was clear that the judges were very strict.
This was a good thing for him. At least it gave him a chance to enter the top four.
As Iman and Alfonso's scores were announced, the atmosphere in the room became tense.
The contestants finished their dishes one by one and were brought to the stage by the staff. They were evaluated by the judges and then given their scores.
Just as Meg had expected, there was not much difference between the scores of the contestants. Among the six contestants, the lowest score was 78 points, while the highest score was 92 points.
So far, the highest score was set by a contestant named Angelina. Her rainbow phoenix had won unanimous praise from the judges.
It was a delicacy cooked with the best wild pheasant as the main ingredient. Through the decoration of various ingredients, it completed the magical operation of turning a pheasant into a phoenix.
Mag had seen Angelina's information before. Among all the contestants, she was the only pure contestant who didn't have a management company backing her. However, she could be considered as a slightly famous food promoter in the micro-promotion industry.
Compared to the other contestants, her culinary specialty was to give the food a sense of beauty.
She was like an artist who had the ability to turn something rotten into something magical. She could make food that looked ordinary become beautiful and artistic.
The contrast between before and after was extremely pleasing to the eye. Therefore, Angelina was also regarded as a strong contender for the championship.
The other seven contestants had finished their matches one after another, and the judges were already half-full.
At the same time, everyone's eyes and cameras were focused on the last contestant on the stage who was still cooking — Meg.
The aroma of various delicacies in the air had yet to dissipate. Coupled with the previous wonderful comments of the judges, even the air seemed to be extraordinarily delicious.
"The time is almost up. Is he still not done?"
"Contestant Hades won't be the first contestant to exceed the time limit in the championship, right?"
"He's skilled in butchering sheep, but his cooking efficiency needs to be improved. Otherwise, he'll only be a butcher."
The fans were anxious, but the fans of the other contestants had turned on their mocking mode.
The other contestants also looked at Meg with the mentality of watching a good show.
Although the contestants who had been eliminated were sad, they felt much better when they looked at Meg.
Those who thought that they had successfully advanced were even more relaxed.
The judges present were not in a hurry. Anyway, they couldn't get off work before the time was up. Instead of continuing to praise the contestants after they finished their matches, it was more relaxing and interesting to give advice when the contestants were present.
"There's a reason why such an ancient cooking method like charcoal roasting has been eliminated. Not many customers can wait for such a long time." Julian smiled. He was in a very good mood at the moment. His precious disciple was going to advance to the semifinals as the second contestant.
"Except for the ancient tribes that preserve the tradition, this kind of cooking method is rarely seen nowadays. The lack of hygiene is an important reason for its elimination." David nodded and said.
"What do you know about charcoal roasting? It's the essence of charcoal roasting. I think this young man is patient and steady. He's a good seedling," Old Hunter said straightforwardly.
David's face was a little unhappy. His voice also became a little feminine. "I think he's trying to delay the time. If he exceeds the time limit, he'll be eliminated. It'll save the judges' comments. It'll be more dignified."
At that moment, a strong barbecued meat aroma pierced through the messy aroma in the air and rushed toward the judges' table like a sharp arrow.
"It smells so good!"
The judges' eyes lit up at the same time. They stopped arguing and looked at Meg.
The barbecued lamb chop's aroma was so strong and unique. After it appeared, it suppressed all the other fragrances in the air. It was impossible to ignore.
Nancy's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of a smile. She looked at Meg's calm face and didn't feel proud of himself for attracting the judges' attention.
"Is this the smell of barbecued lamb? It's so strong and aggressive. Just by smelling the aroma, it's enough to make people drool. "One of the judges praised.
"Barbecued lamb chop is one of my favorite dishes, but this is the first time I've seen a barbecued lamb chop. I've never seen such a strong aroma before. It should have a lot to do with the marinating method and seasoning. Maybe it's also related to the barbecuing method." Another judge said.
"This aroma is great! As soon as it appeared, it completely suppressed all the other fragrances. It's even more enticing than the barbecued lamb I've tasted before. " Old Hunter was a little excited. He glanced at David and Julian proudly, as if he was the one who barbecued the lamb chop.
Julian snorted softly and didn't say anything.
David's face was a little unnatural, but he still said, "This barbecued lamb chop's aroma is indeed enticing, but the aroma alone isn't enough. You have to taste it to know how it tastes."
