"The fish meat is tender, light yet sweet, and mellow and fragrant. The exclusive sauce of Taco Hotel makes the taste of the fish more layered. This steamed yellow arowana is amazing!" David, the gourmet, was the first to speak. Yiman’s steamed yellow arowana is full of praise.
"The taste of the fish is excellent, the heat is controlled just right, the selection of sauces and the control of seasonings are also very good, highlighting the deliciousness of the yellow arowana and taking the taste to a higher level." Then another judge praised.
"I think this turtle soup is really the best. This is the first time I have tasted a mysterious jade turtle that is more than three thousand years old. This stewing method is not a waste. It is a very wise choice not to add excessive ingredients and ingredients. The crystal added at the end The melon did not affect the taste of the soup at all, but added a bit of fragrance." Old Hunter put down the soup bowl in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
…
The judges expressed their opinions and evaluated the two dishes.
Mag casually brushed oil on the lamb chops and turned them over while eating the melon carefully.
Judging from the judges' comments, Iman's steamed yellow arowana is obviously better than Alfonso's braised turtle. Although the black jade turtle soup is also well received, the overly simple cooking method obscures the contestants themselves to a certain extent. cooking skills.
After the review is completed, the judges will directly score the two dishes on the spot.
The competition adopts a hundred-point system, each judge's score is a ten-point system, and the scores of all judges are added together to obtain the total score.
Ratings were tallied quickly.
Iman scored 90 points and temporarily ranked first.
Alfonso scored 82 points and was temporarily ranked second.
90 points is already considered a good result in this season's competition. Coupled with Iman's third-ranked PK value, the semi-finals are basically locked in.
Alfonso, who has a lower PK value, has basically been eliminated.
Mag nodded secretly in his mind. Iman's stable performance and his status as a related party still only scored 90 points, which shows that this judging panel is indeed very strict.
This is a good thing for him, at least it gives him a chance to reach the semi-finals.
As the results of Iman and Alfonso came out, the atmosphere became tense.
The contestants also completed their dishes one after another, and were brought to the stage one by one by the on-site staff. They were evaluated by the judges and then scored.
Just as Mag expected, the score gap between the players was not big. The six finishers had a lowest score of 78 points and a highest score of 92 points.
The current highest score was achieved by a contestant named Angelina. The colorful phoenix she made won unanimous praise from the judges.
It was a delicacy cooked with the best wild pheasant as the main ingredient. By decorating it with various ingredients, the pheasant transformed into a phoenix.
Mag has seen Angelina's information. Among the contestants present, she is the only vegan contestant without a background in a management company. However, she is also a slightly famous food promoter on Weibo.
Compared with other contestants, her cooking is characterized by bringing beauty to food.
She is like an artist, with the ability to turn decay into magic and make food that originally looks ordinary become beautiful and artistic.
This contrast between before and after is extremely entertaining and shocking, so Angelina is also regarded as a strong contender for the championship of this year's King of Chef Competition.
The other seven contestants have completed the competition one after another, and the judges are already half full.
Everyone's eyes and cameras were focused on the last contestant on the field who was still cooking - Mag.
The aroma of various delicacies in the air has not yet dissipated. Coupled with the wonderful comments from the judges, even the air seems to smell particularly delicious.
"The time is almost over, isn't he finished yet?"
"Will Contestant Hades become the first contestant to time out in the King of Kitchen Competition?"
"I'm quite skilled at cutting sheep, but my cooking efficiency needs to be improved, otherwise I can only be a butcher."
The fans were anxious, and the fans of other players turned on the mocking mode.
The other players also looked at Mag with the attitude of watching the excitement.
Although the eliminated players were sad, they felt much better looking at Mag.
And those players who think they have successfully advanced are even more relaxed.
The judges on the scene were not in a hurry. Anyway, the show time was not up and they couldn't get off work. Instead of the contestants ending the competition and continuing to brag, it would be more relaxed and interesting to have the contestants present to give pointers.
"There is a reason for the ancient cooking method of charcoal grilling to be eliminated. Not many customers can wait for such a long waiting time." Julian said with a smile. He was in a very good mood at the moment. His precious apprentice would be the first to wait. Two advanced to the semifinals.
"Except for ancient tribes that retain their traditions, this cooking method is rarely seen now. Lack of cleanliness and hygiene is an important reason why it was eliminated." David nodded.
"What do you know about charcoal grilling? Roasting over low fire, working slowly and carefully, is the essence of charcoal grilling. I think this young man is patient, steady and seasoned. He is a good young man." Old Hunter said straightforwardly.
David's expression was a little displeased, and his voice was a bit softer: "I think he wanted to delay the time and eliminate the contest over time. It also saved the judges' comments, which makes it more decent."
At this moment, a fragrant aroma of barbecue pierced the messy aroma in the air and rushed toward the judges' table like a sharp arrow.
“It smells so good!”
The eyes of all the judges lit up almost at the same time. They ignored the argument and looked at Mag.
The aroma of the grilled lamb chops was so fragrant and unique that after it appeared, it suppressed all the remaining aromas in the air, making it impossible to ignore.
A smile flashed in Nancy's beautiful eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She stared at Mag's expressionless face, not feeling proud about attracting the judges' attention.
"Is this the original aroma of roast lamb? It's so rich and aggressive, just smelling the aroma makes people salivate." One of the judges praised.
"Grilled lamb chops is also one of my favorite dishes, but this is indeed the first time I have encountered charcoal grilled lamb chops, and such a fragrant aroma is unprecedented. It should have a lot to do with the marinating method and seasonings. , it may also have something to do with the baking method." Another judge followed.
"This tastes great! As soon as it appeared, it completely suppressed the other remaining aromas. It was more alluring and exciting than the aroma of charcoal grilled lamb I had tasted several times." Old Hunter looked a little excited and even more proud. He glanced at David and Julian as if they were the lamb chops he was grilling.
Julian snorted lightly and said nothing.
David's expression was slightly unnatural, but he still said: "The aroma of this grilled lamb chop is indeed quite tempting, but the aroma alone is not enough. You have to taste it to know how it is."
