Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe Chapter 369 281: Isn't He a Chinese Cuisine Chef? How Can He

His movents are swift, with his wrist flicking rapidly, leaving behind afterimages, as various ingredients in the wok flutter up and down amidst roaring flas.

Accompanied by rising steam and oil smoke, the distinctive seafood sour and spicy flavors of Tom Yum sauce and XO sauce perate the air, instantly creating a Thai ambiance.

After quickly stir-frying a dozen tis, Lin Chen adds pineapple chunks and a few small bird's eye chilies into the wok.

The mont the golden pineapple chunks go on top, the flas in the wok 'whoosh' out, leaving only the billowing steam still rising.

Continue stir-frying on high heat twenty to thirty tis; there's no need to fry for too long, just ensure the pineapple is thoroughly heated before taking it out of the wok.

First turn off the heat, then throw in a handful of fresh basil leaves, also known as nine-layer tower.

Fresh basil has a unique aroma that can imbue food with a qualitative change.

This ingredient is commonly seen in Southeast Asian cuisine; it's used in the Taiwanese three-cup chicken, and is also the main ingredient for pesto sauce in Western cuisine.

Spoon the freshly cooked fried rice into the hollowed-out pineapple shell, allowing the sweet aroma of the pineapple to further seep into the rice.

"Here you go, Thai Royal Pineapple Beef Fried Rice."

This na isn't sothing he intentionally made grandiose; he mostly saw similar nas for fried rice in Thai restaurants online and decided to borrow the na.

The steaming fried rice is coated with brown sauce on the surface, and each grain shines under the light, appearing sowhat similar to soy sauce fried rice, but with a completely different aroma.

The rice fried with Tom Yum sauce surprisingly doesn't have much sourness; rather, the seafood fragrance is more pronounced, complented by the peculiar fresh scent of basil and the rich fruity aroma of pineapple, making it visually appealing.

The visible beef chunks mixed inside even subtly hide their presence, with hardly any beef fragrance detectable; if not for the visually apparent nurous beef pieces, one might mistakenly think it's a seafood fried rice.

The couple hurriedly carry the fried rice back to their seats to start taking pictures, as their desire to eat reaches its peak, also keeping in mind the butter garlic baked shrimp that's been on the table for quite a while.

"Let's eat the shrimp first; it won't taste good if it gets cold later."

Fried rice served in a pineapple shell is quite photogenic, just snap from a few angles, and mostly rely on post-processing.

The boy sees that the girl finished taking photos and eagerly lifts his fork, skewering two tender, bouncy prawns, rolling them twice in the butter garlic sauce to ensure the butter fully covers every corner of the shrimp.

"Here baby, open your mouth~"

"Ah~~"

The girl smiles sweetly, opening her mouth to accept the two shrimp as a token of love.

As soon as the tip of her tongue touches the shrimp at, an unusual gleam blooms in her eyes.

Even though they've been on the table for a while, the shrimp are still slightly hot, with the rich butter aroma thoroughly infused into every crevice of the shrimp at.

The garlic fragrance isn't as strong as dostic garlic sauces but isn't weak in presence either; it's a subtle, lingering garlic aroma reminiscent of a babbling brook.

River prawns naturally have a softer, more tender and bouncy texture compared to sea prawns, with juice being more abundant, though if not prepared well, they can carry a distinct muddy sll.

Lin Chen's version has no off-flavors, embodying a classic butter garlic taste—pleasant even if not extraordinary, yet reliably delicious.

This thod of butter garlic baked shrimp is quite common in foreign Western restaurants, akin to the dostic garlic vermicelli stead seafood's status, readily available anywhere.

"Is it tasty?"

"Mmm mmm!"

Seeing his girlfriend nod fervently, the boy exhales in relief, using the fork with precision to continuously lift and lower, braggingly placing it beside his mouth after skewering them.

"Nowadays, food bloggers love threading shrimps together to eat in one go. Do you believe I can stuff them all in my mouth?"

"?"

The girl was about to nod when her gaze inadvertently fell on the few remaining prawns in the baking tray, and her smile froze.

Her eyes darted about twice, and she reached out to snatch the shrimp skewer from her boyfriend's hand.

"What's so surprising about you boys being able to do it? I can do it too, don't you believe ?"

"Impossible!"

Without thinking, the man blurted out: "With your petite mouth, managing ten shrimps would be impressive; absolutely no way you can fit so many all at once!"

"What if I fit them all in?"

"Then I'd call you impressive!"

Finishing his sentence, the girl exaggeratedly opened her mouth and directly stuffed the stuffed shrimp skewer inside, puffing her cheeks like a hamster, looking exceedingly cute.

After struggling for a while, shaking her small head side to side, she actually managed to fit them all.

"Holy moly?"

The boy made a hand gesture indicating 'good job', "That's 20 shrimps, you've got so hidden talents, baby!"

"Hmm hmm!"

The girl proudly raised her chin, chewing with effort on the shrimp bursting with juice, mumbling indistinctly.

"You don't understand; I read an article saying won's oral cavity structure is deeper than n's, so when it cos to stuffing food, who knows who's truly better!"

"Well done, you really pulled it off."

The boy laughed, giving a few complints, instinctively reaching for a fork to skewer so shrimp, only to find his hand empty, suddenly realizing his fork is currently in his girlfriend's possession.

Wait, fork?!

A realization dawning on him, his expression suddenly shifts, quickly checking the tray of shrimp.

The tray, once filled with neatly arranged prawns, now left with only sparse shrimp, looking quite lonely.

Aw, he was duped!

Regretfully slapping his thigh, he silently curses his luck.

"Eat up, why don't you? You don't like it? This shrimp is so bouncy and delicious~"

The girl's mouth is too full of food, unable to swallow for the mont, pretending to be considerate by pushing the rest of the shrimp tray entirely towards her boyfriend.

"You know I don't eat much, the rest is all yours, can't waste it."

"... I know!"

Watching his girlfriend giggle as she pulled the plate of pineapple fried rice in front of her, the guy silently sighed in his heart.

Oh well, no problem, it's just a few shrimps, it's not like I haven't had them before!

I'm a big-hearted guy, not going to argue with a little girl~

The amount of rice on that plate is so much, she definitely can't finish it, she'll at most take a few bites to taste it, and the rest is all for !

While his girlfriend enjoyed the fried rice, he used all his strength to quickly clear out the rest of the leftovers.

"Dingaling~"

The doorbell rang as two distinct high-heeled footsteps approached from afar.

Helena quickly turned around and walked to the door to greet the guests.

"Good evening, ladies!"

The visitors were two casually dressed beauties, with that relaxed and leisurely deanor matching their outstanding appearance and tall figure, it was easy to tell they were typical Nordic people.

"Good evening."

The two won nodded with a smile, just about to continue talking when they caught a faint scent wafting through the air.

Their originally relaxed manner instantly disappeared, and their steps beca hurried.

"Soone's eating already?!"

"Yes, two guests just arrived, they're almost done eating, you two ca at the perfect ti."

Helena smiled as she led the way, her eyes already darting over to survey the bags carried by the two won.

Unlike the two Great Xia guests, these female guests seed to bring less food, and nothing brightly colored, it all looked gray and couldn't be clearly seen through the bags.

The arrival of the two also grabbed the attention of the previous table of young couples, who turned their heads to look.

Immaculately white long legs shimred under the skirt, the curvaceous figure hidden beneath the loose beach dress, the upper half was a v-shaped small outfit of the sa style, revealing a flat smooth belly, typical tropical beach style.

The girl's eyes lit up.

Beauties!

She then turned to look at her boyfriend, and surely enough, he also stared at them brightly.

Her eyes rolled around twice, and she exclaid in an exaggerated tone.

"Wow, long legs, baby! So long and white, take a look!"

"Yeah, yeah, I see them!"

"Do you think they're nice?"

"They're nice!"

"Are they white?"

"White! Super white!"

"Do you like them?"

"Like...?!" The guy was suddenly shocked, cold sweat instantly drenched his back, he quickly retracted his gaze and changed his words, "Of course not! Do I look like that kind of person?!"

"Do you think my legs are long?"

"Long! Definitely long, everything below the neck is legs!"

"Am I very dark?"

"No, no, no such thing, among Asian people you count as fair, they're Caucasian, can't compare."

"So you don't like long, white legs, aning you don't like ?"

"... Ah? Uh, that, no, baby, you know that's not what I an..."

"Hehe, just ssing with you!"

The girl made a silly face, "But no mortal sin shall go unpunished, how about… a little penalty~"

While saying this, she already picked up the spoon and chopsticks again, picking out all the pineapple chunks from the fried rice, stuffing all the large pieces of beef into her mouth.

The originally colorful pineapple beef fried rice beca a plate of bell pepper egg fried rice within two to three minutes.

"Punishnt, no at for you! Hehe!"

This commotion attracted a few more glances from the two newly arrived beautiful guests.

They showed no embarrassnt whatsoever, instead, curiously moved a few steps closer to look at the table.

Several plates had already been cleared completely, leaving nothing to be discerned, only the steaming plate of rice served in a pineapple was still steaming.

Beside the fried rice, there was an entire saucepan, inside remained a lot of brown and white pasty liquid, looking like curry.

"Excuse , are you eating Southeast Asian food?"

"This is Thai-style fried rice, that's butter chicken, and there's also..."

The girl enthusiastically introduced them in English, though a bit stamring, she managed to convey so simple food nas.

"So, it's random dishes from around the world? That's amazing!"

The two won gasped with surprise, eyes filled with astonishnt.

"Isn't Chef Lin known for Chinese cuisine, how co there are so many international dishes?"
