"The third is koren barbeque." This time it is assistant chef Nanda who helps present and pronounce the sentence in Indonesian. Kiara was astonished by the Indonesian-speaking chef Nanda so well and fluently. Kiara is also amazed by the Korean barbeque that looks beautiful on her plate.
"The main ingredient in the Korean Barbeque is certainly the meat. There are 3 main types of meat in Korean barbeque, namely beef, chicken, and also pork. All three can be eaten together or just selected one of them according to taste." Assistant chef Nanda continued his explanation.
This time Kiara saw there were three types of meat. There was concern for pork in his heart. Assistant chef Nanda also saw that in Kiara's eyes. Therefore assistant chef Nanda hurriedly added.
"We serve beef barbeque, chicken slice, and also enoki mushrooms that we make look like slices of meat. All of this is halal, brother. Don't worry." Nanda smiled at Kiara.
Kiara looked relieved and began to admire the beautiful look of her food. Although the portion looks not much, but Kiara is actually quite full after eating rice. Eating a fairly small portion of meat is not a problem for him. However, Aldi has not yet obtained a plate containing his Korean barbeque dishes.
Not long after the assistant chef Nanda had finished explaining the contents of the main ingredients of the Korean barbeque on his plate, Chef Jung came up with a plate of Korean barbeque dishes for Aldi.
Kiara was stunned to see the contents of Aldi's plate. Piles of beef and chicken seemed to pile up. So is the fungus.
"We understand that it's fair not to treat customers equally. But fair is to treat someone according to themselves. Since our customers want large portions for meat, then we provide as the customers want." Assistant Chef Nanda parsed Kiara's apparent curiosity from her gaze toward Aldi's plate.
"Thank you chef Jung. Your restaurant provides satisfactory service. Right, sweetie?" Said Aldi to the chef and asked Kiara to argue.
The assistant translator immediately whispered Aldi's words. Make chef Jung immediately say thank you in English.
"really so. Our dinner here was comfortable and enjoyable. The dishes are delicious too. It looks like a five-star restaurant. But the atmosphere is like a friend's house." Kiara.
"Thank you for your good impression. We will both continue to make one dessert for you to enjoy. Congratulations on the Korean barbeque." Nanda and chef Jung retreat to the kitchen area next to their dining table.
Kiara and Aldi ate the dishes at their table while having a light conversation until the food on the plate was both exhausted and clean until the last drop of barbeque sauce.
"Al, look at chef Jung's interaction with his assistant. Do you think they have feelings for each other?" Kiara who eats slowly likes to ask trivial things that occur in her mind.
"hums. I think so too." Aldi focus on eating elegantly. There was not the slightest bit of sauce or food that looked straw on his handsome face.
"Was.. What if we ask them when serving dessert?"
"Related, Ra? I think they're like a couple of girlfriends cooking together. Or even more like a couple cooking to entertain guests who will come play to his house."
"You really are, Al. You've always been good at observing and analyzing things."
After spending their respective portions, the translator's assistant offered Aldi and Kiara non-alcoholic soft drinks while waiting for the dessert to be completed.
It was seen that chef Jung was in the process of freezing a sprig of red roses. There is white steam billowing from the tools used to freeze roses.
When the red rose is frozen according to the wishes of the chef, then the rose is ready to be crushed into pieces that will sprinkle the ice cream that has been prepared. Surprisingly, the frozen rose looked like a living rose that did not freeze.
The scene of the destruction of rose petals by chef Jung is the peak moment that is usually awaited by customers. Rose flakes that fill the air on ice cream seem very romantic to couples who see the process. A sprinkling of red rose petals scattered in the air, the dishes as well as the table looked very beautiful. Kiara forgot to close her mouth because beru this time saw the food that was getting more beautiful.
When staring at the ice cream on her plate, Kiara felt like she was looking at a beautiful piece of art. What was on his plate did not look like food. Kiara felt unwilling to destroy the artwork on her plate and scooped it up.
"Eat, we will come here again to see these wonderful dishes next time. Whenever you want, we can come again." Aldi.
Kiara looked into Aldi's eyes, who had noticed his reluctance to eat chef Jung's ice cream. Kiara feels special tonight. Aldi was so attentive to him. Kiara had forgotten that Aldi today had upset her by covering up a lot of things from her.
"Welcome to enjoy the dessert that became our restaurant. The ice cream in front of Mr. Aldi and Miss Rara is the original made by chef Jung with fermentation made by chef Jung as well. The basic ingredient of his fermentation is sticky rice." Nanda's assistant now explained to his guest. Nanda's assistant seemed so happy to greet their guests.
Kiara put a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth. Slowly chew it too. There was a typical overtime feeling of ice cream that he felt. But the sweetness fits in his mouth. With a slight bit of bitter taste that seemed to come from the red rose petals.
"Does this flake of red rose petals give a sweet taste while there is a bitter and sour taste?" Kiara turned to Nanda's assistant.
"True, that's the taste we want to try to present. Does the lady like it?" Nanda looked forward to Kiara's reply.
"Like. The sweet taste is so special. Nor does it make enegh. The sweetness is not excessive. I never eat ice cream with a soft texture but full of flavor. There is a bitter taste that even adds a delicious taste. I could feel the smell of roses, but only a small flake of what I was eating." Kiara explained it with a sparkle.
"We're both very happy to hear that Miss Kiara likes her." Said Nanda's assistant. Chef Jung is now next to Nanda and embraces each other by the side.
Nanda's assistant and chef Jung have been daily confronting customers and serving food to them. But waiting for customers to comment on their cooking is still a thrilling thing for chef Jung. Chef Nanda's embrace of him adds to the pleasure in chef Jung's heart.
"Are you two a couple?" Kiara couldn't help but be curious to see them embrace each other.
