Chapter 704 Tasting Restaurant(1/2)
Feng Yifan's appearance made the hotel feel a little nervous.
Especially at the hotel chain headquarters, I have now been promoted to hotel president and am also a little surprised at George's sudden visit to Feng Yifan.
The VIP card in Feng Yifan was after he helped the hotel restaurant successfully obtain one star four years ago.
He submitted his resignation letter, and the then president asked George to give him the VIP card himself.
Moreover, George also knew that the dishes on the menu are now reserved by the hotel restaurant, and the right to buy from Feng Yifan for a high price.
So compared with the benefits Feng Yifan brought to hotel and restaurants, a comprehensive VIP card is nothing.
Feng Yifan and his team were introduced to the restaurant by the general manager and chef, which also surprised the waiters in the restaurant.
I couldn't help but get together and whispered to each other.
I guess who is Feng Yifan and his group?
In the end, the general manager and chef arranged a quiet cubicle for Feng Yifan and the others.
I originally wanted to arrange a private room for Feng Yifan and the others, but as Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi walked, they were attracted by a stream in the middle of the restaurant.
There are still koi swimming in the stream, which the girls find very interesting.
Because there is a feeling that I am standing on the water.
This is a special design for the hotel restaurant.
Below is a flowing pool, and the restaurant is built on the pool, so if you eat in the hall, you can enjoy the scene of some koi swimming under your feet.
Feng Yifan saw that the two girls liked it and smiled and said to the general manager: "We won't go to the private room anymore. We'll find us a spacious and quiet location."
The general manager and chef made arrangements, and Feng Yifan and others sat in a quiet compartment.
The two little girls can also see those swimming koi.
After sitting down, Feng Yifan smiled and said to the chef: "Don't have set meals anymore. Come with some more practical dishes, and the children are all hungry."
The chef was stunned at first when he heard this, but at the same time he felt relieved.
The chef was actually worried that Feng Yifan would sit down and order the set meal he left for the hotel restaurant.
In front of the original owner who created the set meal, making the set meal for the original owner to eat, this is really a situation that the chef is unwilling to face.
The chef quickly replied: "Why do you need to prepare Chinese food for you? Or Western style? Do you need to prepare some snacks for the children?"
Feng Yifan thought for a while and said, "Well, it's OK. Our taste may be light. Then put the children's snacks at the end. If they are too early, it will affect the children's meals."
The chef nodded and said, "Okay, then please wait. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare now."
Then the chef left first, while the general manager of the hotel stayed for a while.
After hesitating for a while, the general manager took out the two cards.
"Mr. Feng, this is given to you by our hotel. Although it cannot be as free as your VIP card, you can get a 40% discount when you use it in China and 20% discount when you use it abroad."
Feng Yifan did not postpone it: "Well, okay, thank you, let's put it here."
After the general manager put it down, he said respectfully: "Then Mr. Feng will not disturb you from dining. If you have any needs, you can notify me at any time."
The general manager also left a business card and left the restaurant first.
Of course, before walking out of the restaurant, he also instructed the restaurant manager and waiter.
After the general manager left, Shi Jiahui said first: "Okay, our Chef Feng is really so grand wherever he goes. There is no need to speak, someone will arrange everything for you."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "This is just a coincidence. I didn't expect that senior sister, you would arrange it in this hotel?"
Shi Jiahui smiled: "I don't know either, and this hotel is closest to my house."
Feng Yifan said: "It's the closest to your senior sister and the most expensive one, right?"
Shi Jiahui pretended to be angry and said, "What are you talking about? Do you think I can't afford to treat my senior sister?"
Feng Yifan quickly said, "No, I just think, Senior Sister, you are too polite."
Then, Feng Yifan handed the discount card to Yang Zhiyi and Shi Tao respectively.
"Although it cannot be exempted at all, you can get a discount. You can use it first. If there is really any need, I can tell George and change it for you."
Shi Jiahui still organized her son to take it: "Shi Tao still doesn't want it."
Feng Yifan said to the senior sister seriously: "It's okay, it's just a discount card. Senior sister, I believe that the senior brother will control himself, after all, he still has to spend money."
Shi Tao took it and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely not use it casually, and I don't have that much money either."
In the end, Shi Jiahui had no choice but to admit her son to accept it.
As for Yang Zhiyi's acceptance, he was a little embarrassed: "Chef Feng, I'm really embarrassed. This time I came here, you paid for the money, and now I'm still taking your stuff."
Feng Yifan waved his hand: "Don't do this, we are friends, so you can accept it. If you don't need it in the future, you can also use it for Xixi's mother to go out."
When Yang Zhiyi heard this, he felt it made sense: "Yes, you can use it for Xixi's mother. If she does a show by herself in the future, she may need to travel all over the country. Using this discount card can save a lot of money."
Feng Yifan said again: "And the hotel has a pick-up service. If you need to go to a strange city, you can call them directly and ask them to pick you up."
Yang Zhiyi smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite."
The lunch arranged by the hotel restaurant is a combination of Chinese and Western lunch.
There are classic steaks in Western cuisine, and some Chinese dishes are presented.
Feng Yifan did not comment too much and asked everyone to eat together.
After Shi Jiahui ate it, she gave a good review: "Well, the chef in the restaurant looks quite good. The steak is very good, and these side dishes are also well matched. This sweet and sour steak is also interesting. Our two little babies should like to eat it."
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi do like to eat it very much, and children always like to have a sweet taste.
Yang Zhiyi tasted a piece and thought it was very good.
"Yes, although it is not as good as Chef Feng taught before, the taste is quite good, especially the sweet and sour sauce, which is just right, with a little bit of sour taste, which is really great."
Feng Yifan smiled but still didn't say anything.
But Feng Ruoruo suddenly said: "Uncle Yang, this rib is not good because it contains tomato sauce. If your father makes it, don't put tomato sauce."
When Yang Zhiyi heard this, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that when Feng Yifan made it, he did not add tomato sauce.
When Feng Yifan saw his daughter speak, he also said, "Actually, it's okay to put tomato sauce. It's not absolutely impossible to put it. The chef's dish here is considered to have a good seasoning, and it shouldn't be used to use tomato sauce, but tomato sauce."
In the kitchen of the hotel restaurant, the chef and the chefs gathered together, waiting for the waiter to report Feng Yifan's comments.
The chefs are still full of respect for Feng Yifan, the former chef of the hotel headquarters restaurant.
After all, the one-star package reserved by the hotel restaurant is designed by Feng Yifan and bought out at a high price by the hotel. As a menu package reserved by the restaurant in the hotel chain around the world.
Nowadays, the chefs and chefs in the kitchen have made many times the dishes in that set of dishes.
Now that I have seen the people who left that menu with my own eyes, how can the chefs not be excited?
Soon, the waiter in charge of the service came to the kitchen.
"I tasted it, I tasted it. Mr. Feng said it was quite qualified. His daughter said that you used tomato sauce for your ribs, but Mr. Feng would not add them. However, Mr. Feng said that it would be okay to put them in tomato sauce. Mr. Feng also said that you used tomato sauce."
The chef was also a little surprised after listening to the report.
He didn't expect that Feng Yifan actually ate it and used to use tomato sauce.
Traditional sweet and sour small rice noodles do not use tomato sauce or tomato sauce, but instead use sugar and vinegar to make a sweet and sour sauce, and then pour it on the prepared ribs.
It’s just the production of sweet and sour sauce, which is a craftsmanship that cannot be done without a long time.
Because the sweet and sour sauce first needs to be fried with sugar color, this step alone is enough to persuade many chefs to withdraw.
Later, you also need to stir-fry vinegar, especially the ratio of vinegar, sugar and salt, which is also the key to sweet and sour sauce. Another important thing is that you cannot stir-fry too much. If the vinegar tastes evaporated, then that taste will be lost. So it is really a test of skill.
Nowadays, with tomato sauce and tomato sauce, in order to save trouble, most restaurants use tomato sauce and tomato sauce, which makes it easier to master sweetness and sourness.
But in this way, there is indeed a little bit of vinegar fragrance.
In order to deal with Feng Yifan's sudden arrival today, the chef personally cooked this dish.
The chef used his own method, which was to make the tomato sauce first and cook some vinegar at the end, so that the dish finally showed a vinegar aroma.
The chef did not expect that Feng Yifan would eat it, and even more unexpected that he was eaten by a little girl.
The waiter continued to say something, saying something from Feng Yifan.
Then, the chef's recipe for cooking the sweet and sour rice dish is very direct.
The priority is to fry the tomato sauce and cook some vinegar to add some vinegar flavor.
The chef was very convinced. Feng Yifan's ability to oral the process was enough to prove his strength.
It is worthy of being the chef who left for four years and keeps the restaurant following his menu.
After listening to the story, the chef sorted out his clothes, held the last dessert, walked out of the kitchen slowly and came to the restaurant, giving the desserts to Feng Yifan and the others.
Putting down the dessert, the chef said to Feng Yifan: "Chef Feng, we chefs in hotel restaurants, have always been a little dissatisfied with you, and they don't understand why we must make the menu you left behind. Today you made me recognize my abilities."
The chef paused and said seriously: "I have to admit that without your menu, we wouldn't have been able to create a menu that would win one star."
After listening to the chef of the restaurant, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Actually there is nothing. I think you shouldn't keep making my menu. You can use your own abilities to try to make something new. Sometimes if you don't do it, you will never know if you will succeed."
The chef was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't expect Feng Yifan to say such a thing.
