The desserts kept coming. Lemon mint or frozen chestnut powder, vanila cream and milk jam, chestnut purée along with chocolate pastry. It was surrounded by a chocolate shell and inside was caramel popcorn covered by liquid caramel. There were branches and dried medicines on the dish. After eating the chocolates one by one, the meal ended.
Only eating took almost two and a half hours. The amount on the dishes wasn’t much, but as you ate constantly for long it filled your stomach quite much. It felt similar to having eaten three packs of ramen in one go.
As he looked at the others, they were in a similar state. Peter took in air with difficulty. He was originally slim and had a short mouth, so there was no way he could have taken this long course meal easily.
“Now, even if they say that one dish costs a thousand dollars I won’t eat it. No, I can’t.”
“…….I wonder. If it does come out I think that you will eat again. Anderson. You seem to have quite a comfortable face.”
“This amount of food isn’t much. Your stomach are the small ones.”
Jo Minjoon didn’t refute back. It was just as he had said. He wasn’t different to a big eater. It was at that moment that Martin looked at Jo Minjoon and opened his mouth.
“By now, you should have plentily enjoyed yourselves, so how do you feel? Interview, Is it going to be hard?”
“Let’s do it. What are you curious of? No, thinking about it, there’s no need to even ask. A 10-point dish, there was one. Although it was only one, it was enough with just that to have become the best meal I had in my life.”
“………There was?”
Martin put on a surprised face as if he wasn’t expecting it. Honestly, he thought that the best score would be a 9. Even if it was three stars, taking into account the absolute taste Jo Minjoon had showed them until now, he thought that the 10 points would only suit a transcendent-like dish.
It was only 10 points by words, but it was top score for him. A dish he didn’t even have the need to score. It wasn’t easy for him to think that it existed in this world. However, there couldn’t be seen even a trace of hesitation in his face. Martin said with a little excited voice.
“What was that dish? Ah, no. It’s nothing. I think that I know. It was that, right? That…..white anchovy and calf cheek meat?”
There wasn’t even a need to guess. Because the only time Jo Minjoon showed the strongest reaction to the point he cried, was only once. Jo Minjoon nodded. Martin let out a cheerful voice.
“Certainly, even from the epicureans it had a good reputation. It’s the top dish that made this restaurant to become a three star……”
“It was that kind of a dish. I already told you that it was 10 points. It was also 100 points. It was so perfect that it was pointless to score it. Because it made me want to go to France to study.”
