Such a perfectionist brother that she had, Lu Xinyi thought. It was only the appetizer, and yet she couldn't find any mistake in it. It seemed that her brother wouldn't let Huang Shenghao win in this cooking battle between them easily. The amuse-bouche and this appetizer were enough to make her ask for more.
Appetizers were the foreplay of meals. Great appetizers would get the guests in the mood; they would get excited about what else lay in store for you. Similarly, bad appetizers could get things off to a bad start, leaving them wondering if the rest of their experience would be any better.
Sure, the chef could recover from a bad appetizer with a good entree, but those points would always be deducted from the overall performance. This was something Tian Lingyu paid attention to.
