"Lobster meat..."
On screen, the three heavyweight judges stared intently at the pristine ceramic pot.
Their attention was not on the golden fried rice atop, nor the steamed pearl rice of the second layer, but on the lobster meat hidden within, and a mysterious seasoning ingredient with a faintly bitter taste.
"What is this!"
The female judge, Indira, spoke in a low voice.
"Lobster soup rice!"
The woman evaluator, with the demeanor of a Bohemian goddess, smiled slightly.
"I know it's lobster soup rice!" Indira frowned, "What I'm asking is, what did you put at the bottom of the pot... Why is there a bitter taste!"
Qiushan Hong and Shinohara Shigetaro also cast interested glances.
"Taste it and you'll know!"
In front of the prominent judges, Yuchuan Ayaka appeared very calm, answering with a hint of mischief.
"Hmph!"
Judge Indira was visibly displeased, and her face showed it.
