Manman nodded. When she saw a few unfamiliar faces, she walked to the back to fulfill her duty as a member of the Queuing Committee.
"Do people need a passport to eat abroad now?" Although Sylvie had dealt with the situation well, it was still out of instinct. She was still a little confused.
"It should be due to the requirement of eating here. All the great head chefs have their own restaurant rules. Just like Chu Xiao, he has a restaurant rule that a 25-year-old can enjoy a 20% discount with his ID card. This is a riddle in the French culinary industry. I don't know why they are stuck at the age of 25." Dominic was more knowledgeable.
"Head Chef Chu's culinary skills are truly delicious. Every time I return to Lyon, I will go there to eat there. It's said that Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills are even better than Head Chef Chu's. I wonder how good he is," Sylvie changed the topic.
"You said he is better than Head Chef Chu. From the information, even Head Chef Chu admitted it," Dominic said as he looked at the long line behind him.
He was different from the solemn expression he had when he was discussing business with Yuan Zhou. Now, he seemed a little lazy and careless.
When they weren't working, the two of them became relatives again. Because Dominic had a sister complex, he loved his sister's child and taught him a lot.
"Uncle, what do you think of Head Chef Pelo from Singapore? Wasn't there a rumor that he was the best chef in Asia?" Sylvie suddenly asked.
Sylvie was no stranger to Pelo. Due to his identity, he had eaten his food several times and found it to be delicious.
The information they obtained didn't include the conversations between Yuan Zhou and the other chefs. Therefore, they didn't know that Pelo was inferior to Yuan Zhou.
"I don't know. We'll just have to compete. But Head Chef Yuan also has the title of Yuan Yafeng. It's hard to say who is better," Dominic said.
"You're right." Sylvie felt it made sense.
It was indeed hard to wait in line. But it was much faster once they got their number. In a blink of an eye, it was dinnertime.
Dominic and Sylvie didn't understand Chinese, but they knew what to do. They followed the crowd and sat down at a table for two.
"There seems to be a lot of dishes here. I wonder what the signature dish is?" Sylvie looked at the beautiful menu and was a little surprised.
One had to know that the menus of many restaurants were actually very thin, especially western restaurants. In any case, the menus would not be as thick as a dictionary like now.
Dominic ignored her, muttering something under his breath as he took out a notebook out of nowhere and started scribbling away.
"Uncle, you're not evaluating it, are you?" Sylvie asked in a low voice.
"I will try to record the data myself. It will not be made public. It will only be used as a basis for Head Chef Yuan's future evaluation," said Dominic.
After all, he was once a 'golden tongue'. Even though he had become a senior executive, he still retained some of his habits.
Of course, this kind of thing was locked in one's study. It was considered a private thing and did not affect the rating.
"Then did you memorize the environment and service?" Sylphy asked.
Dominic nodded in response. Strictly speaking, the service was pretty good, judging from the fact that there was a dedicated foreign language receptionist and the orderly queue. He was done taking notes and turned his attention to the menu.
"What are you going to eat?" Dominic decided to take care of his nephew.
"Appetizer, main course, and dessert?" Sylvie started spouting nonsense.
"This is China. Just order one dish and try it out," said Dominic as he looked at his nephew in disdain.
Sylvie had already flipped open the menu. There was a bunch of colorful words written on it. Although it was written in both Chinese and English, he really did not know what most of them meant.
"Uncle, do you want to order a dish as well?" asked Sylvie.
"I'll try it first," said Dominic conservatively.
He had made up his mind to find a breakthrough. Naturally, he would order each dish one at a time. That would help him concentrate and prevent him from getting distracted.
His original plan was to eat all the dishes on the menu from beginning to end, but when he saw the menu, he knew that he was too naive.
To be able to finish such a thick menu, one would probably need a beast with a bottomless stomach.
"Hua La, Hua La."
The menu kept flipping, but Sylvie had no idea which dish to order. There were simply too many. No matter how hard he tried, he could not find a single dish.
"Should I just order something random?" Sylvie pointed casually and realized that he had pointed to a dish called Braised Fish Fillet. It seemed to translate to something like braised fish fillet. This should be delicious, right?
Actually, Sylvie had ordered a dish called Shandong Fish Fillet.
Since he had already ordered it, Sylvie finally heaved a sigh of relief. He never knew that he had trouble choosing. He had no idea what to eat at all.
Dominic had already made up his mind. He had accidentally flipped to the Steak Encyclopedia. There were countless types of steaks, so he decided to try one.
As a Frenchman, he definitely had his fair share of steaks. Moreover, Dominic had even eaten the steaks personally cooked by Toroma and the others.
It was difficult to choose even if there were many steaks. But when Su Ruoyan came over, he had already made up his mind.
"What would you like to order?" Su Ruoyan asked as usual.
"I'll take this." Sylvie was afraid that he could not explain clearly, so he directly showed the fish fillet to Su Ruoyan.
"Alright. Do you need rice?" Su Ruoyan asked.
"No need, thank you." Sylvie actually didn't have a good impression of rice. He didn't really like it. At most, when he was in Japan, he could only accept rice balls. He didn't really eat other kinds of rice.
"I want this, medium rare with black pepper sauce." In a sense, Dominic was still a very traditional person.
"Please wait for a moment." Su Ruoyan noted down their requests and moved to another table.
After Su Ruoyan left, Dominic started counting his watch. He wanted to see how long it would take for the dishes to be served.
Seeing that his uncle was doing business, Sylvie didn't disturb him. Instead, he started looking around in his own way.
Just like that, he saw a few people who ate very boldly. One of them looked like he was snatching food from others. His chopsticks were super smooth, and he could only see afterimages. Another looked gentle, but his speed was definitely godlike. No ordinary person could compare to him.
"How hungry are you?" Sylvie felt as if she had been starving for three months.
He ate too much and too fast. In the time he took to look, he had already finished two dishes.
Time passed quietly as Sylvie's thoughts ran wild and Dominic counted his watch.
When Dominic's watch reached nine minutes and forty-five seconds, he suddenly smelled the aroma of beef.
There was also the rich smell of black pepper. Coupled with the natural and wild aroma of beef, it was so appetizing that he almost drooled.
