Chapter 667: Chapter 601: The Dancing Lion Prosperity Rabbit Puff (Part 3)
Sofia was somewhat disappointed upon hearing Wang Fan’s words, as she really wanted her dessert to be tasted first.
The taste of French mille-feuille is enhanced after freezing, and to save more freezing time, she didn’t deliberately pursue aesthetics when squeezing the custard cream, even so only saving about ten minutes of freezing time.
Eating it now would result in a slight coolness on the palate; waiting any longer might make what little coolness remains disappear entirely.
Wang Fan glanced at Sofia’s expression and smiled slightly, having spent some time in France, he was quite familiar with the tricks of those desserts.
Zhang Tao’s voice was already filled with passion: "Audience friends, contestant Wang Fan has chosen his dessert to be tasted first. This highly anticipated dessert is about to be presented to everyone, now I would like to ask contestant Wang Fan, what is the name of this dessert?"
Wang Fan took the microphone and said: "This is made based on our traditional pastry technique, infused with elements of Foshan’s traditional culture of lion dancing, along with the image for this year’s Year of the Rabbit. I call it — Dancing Lion Fortune Rabbit Puff."
Zhang Tao’s voice grew even more exciting: "Contestant Wang Fan’s dessert is called Dancing Lion Fortune Rabbit Puff, while contestant Sofia’s dessert is called French Mille-Feuille, which we are familiar with as Napoleon Pastry. It’s a direct dialogue between Chinese puffs and French puffs! Next, let’s have the judges unveil contestant Wang Fan’s platter, allowing us to witness the charm of the Fortune Rabbit!"
Chen Guomin reached out to grasp the handle of the platter cover and lifted gently, revealing the small dessert gradually to the public.
As the camera zoomed in, the scene suddenly turned silent.
"Deng deng den deng... deng deng deng..."
Familiar music played, and all the audience seemed to see a rabbit dressed in a lion dance costume laughing and jumping right in front of them.
The little rabbit was exceptionally cute, dressed in Huaxia red clothing, swaying in a lion dance costume with two golden balls on the head.
Its entire body was constructed of puff pastry, layer upon layer of fine and dense pastry lines closely woven, making it appear lifelike.
Even under such high-definition cameras, the dense strands of the mane showed no imperfection. Most importantly, its mane seemed capable of moving!
"Am I hallucinating? Why do I feel like the mane is moving?"
"I see it too! Am I hallucinating as well?!"
"It’s not just like it’s moving, it really is moving! You look carefully, when the judge’s hand moves, the mane moves too!"
"Holy crap, this is unbelievable! Isn’t this real fur?"
"How can it be eaten then? Wouldn’t that directly lead to disqualification?"
"Holy crap, can anyone explain what’s going on here?"
"Dragon Beard Sugar, he used Dragon Beard Sugar, the mane is adhered with Dragon Beard Sugar."
Chen Guomin’s voice trembled slightly.
"It’s no wonder, Dragon Beard Sugar is as fine as hair, and can move with the wind."
No wonder! No wonder!
That Dragon Beard Sugar can move with the wind is indeed no wonder, but how he managed to get Dragon Beard Sugar onto the mane astounds!
Do you realize you’re defying human logic?
Is that something humans can accomplish?!
Chen Guomin was already going crazy inside, having delved into Chinese desserts for most of his life, he’d never seen such a miraculous combination. He truly wanted to shamelessly ask Wang Fan if he could accept an older apprentice.
Learning knows no beginning or end, the accomplished serve as teachers, the many details exhibited on this Dancing Lion Fortune Rabbit Puff, not just him, even if all the masters of Chinese desserts were brought together, might not be able to accomplish!
Allen widened his eyes, using his hand to fan the mane of the lion dance costume, a clear view of the fine mane gently swaying with the wind emerged.
"Oh my god, it actually can move, how is this possible? Is this some kind of magical Eastern Magic?"
Allen, like a child who got a new toy, kept fanning the mane, his mouth couldn’t stop expressing disbelief.
Sofia at this point was already stunned; in all her years of working, she’d never seen such a miraculous dessert.
This completely subverts her understanding of desserts!
"Impossible! This must be cheating! Those hairs must be fake!"
