Chapter 209 - 209: 209: It’s definitely not as simple as it looks on the surface.
“Alright, I’ll have one skewer.” The customer dropped a Food Coupon into the box next to them.
They took the chicken thigh handed over by Cindy Clarke.
“What is this on the outside of it…?” The customer saw the green leaf wrapped around it, emitting a refreshing aroma.
“It’s a Perilla leaf.” Cindy Clarke said.
The customer took a bite and the Perilla leaf had already been grilled crispy. Biting down made a crisp “crunch” sound.
Immediately, the taste of the Perilla leaf filled the mouth, diminishing any rich taste of cheese and the like.
The juicy chicken thigh made the customer involuntarily let out a satisfied exclamation.
Suddenly, the customer stopped: “There’s a sour taste in the middle.”
“Pieces of dried plum were added in the middle.” Cindy Clarke explained with a smile, “You said earlier that it was rich, so I recommended you try this because it has Perilla leaf and dried plum pieces in the middle. It’s sweet and a little sour, with the toasted aroma of Perilla leaf and the scent of charcoal fire.”
“It’s so delicious!” The customer praised, “Right now, I really want a beer! It feels like I’m in a pub! No, I’ve never had this kind of flavor in a pub before, it’s too delicious!”
“Thank you for liking it.” Cindy Clarke smiled and said.
Then, Cindy put new skewers on the grill, brushing them with barbecue sauce made from soy sauce, cooking wine, and sugar.
“Can you give me another one?” That customer had a great appetite now.
“Sorry, you better hurry back to the stands and get ready to snatch the food coupons for the next round. Maybe you can come back if you get one.” Cindy Clarke said.
The customer reluctantly looked at the grilled skewers on the grill: “Do other skewers have different features too?”
It couldn’t be as simple as it looks on the surface.
Just like this chicken thigh skewer, looking plain and unimpressive, but who would have thought it would have so many nuances in taste!
“Of course,” Cindy Clarke replied with a smile.
“Is it really that good?” At this time, quite a few customers had been attracted over, hearing his praise.
When they were far away, they couldn’t smell the aroma of the food at Cindy’s place.
Once they got closer, the aroma was so appetizing and refreshing that they didn’t want to leave.
The longer visitors stayed at the event, the more tired they became of the strong aromas of other foods like the previous customer.
“It’s really good! First, the refreshing flavor of the Perilla leaves enters your mouth, grilled crispy. The chicken thigh still has that charcoal-grilled aroma, and the barbecue sauce has a bit of sweetness in its saltiness, yet it’s surprisingly balanced. I don’t usually like sweet and salty combinations, but this taste is really good. Especially the crushed plums in the middle, they really cut through the richness.”
“Then I want a skewer too,” another customer immediately said.
“No, you should try a different kind. One coupon can only buy one skewer. I’ve had the chicken thigh, but not the others. Try it and let me know what it tastes like. This young lady says there’s something special in each of them!” The previous customer said.
“Haha, alright,” that customer agreed easily.
“Hey, what’s this red sauce you’re brushing on it? What’s that for?” The customer was about to make their selection when they saw Cindy brushing sauce onto the chicken skin.
It was as if the barbecue sauce had just been brushed onto it, and this was something else.
“Why don’t you give it a try?” Cindy Clarke said with a smile, “I’ll hold off on
explaining for now..”
