The egg mixture was cooked just right.
The outer layer was slightly set, while the inner layer remained runny.
A bite allowed the egg liquid to spread in the mouth, bringing an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.
At the same time, the crispness of the spinach puree, the savory ham, and the rich mousse intertwined, making the experience intoxicating!
"The mousse is smooth and cool."
"Every bite of this breakfast dessert feels silky and comfortable."
"After baking, the outer layer of the omelet forms a crispy shell, while the inside remains filled with chilled mousse, creating a unique hot and cold texture in the dessert world!"
"The only downside is the small portion; it's gone in a few bites."
"Yeah, it feels like I could eat it forever."
"Hmm? I'm done?"
"Let's get another, no, two more."
"I want one too."
...
[Ding, breakfast stand number 78.]
[Erina Nakiri has reached the goal of 200 breakfasts, passing the test!]
[Ding, repeating the announcement, breakfast stand number 78, Erina Nakiri has reached the goal of 200 breakfasts...]
Erina's unexpected "ice and fire" dish conquered a large group of tourists.
Even more astonishing was that she completed 200 breakfasts in record time, stopping the clock at 7:25:34. This meant less than half an hour had passed since the test began.
"Did I hear that right?"
"It's only been 25 minutes, and someone has already sold 200 breakfasts?"
Examiner Hinako Inui was shocked upon hearing that a student had passed the test by selling 200 breakfasts so quickly.
"Erina?"
"If it's her, it's not surprising."
"During the class, she managed to change my dish in a way no one expected."
Nearby, Fumio Daimidō recalled how Erina's God Tongue talent had impressed her on the first day of the training camp.
"Is she related to the Director?" Shingo Kanazawa asked, puzzled.
"Yes, she is the Director's granddaughter. Her innate God Tongue talent allows her cooking to surpass ordinary limits!" Gin Dojima explained.
Kojiro Shinomiya raised an eyebrow, "It seems the freshmen of this year are quite exceptional."
"You could say they might even be stronger than our 69th generation!" Gin Dojima chuckled softly.
...
Sodium alginate, sodium citrate, and calcium chloride were prepared.
Mangoes were cut, and the flesh was blended with pure water, sodium alginate, and sodium citrate.
Pure water was mixed with calcium chloride.
Using an egg whisk, a shell was broken, and the egg liquid was poured out, leaving the shell intact.
The blended mango juice was then spooned into the calcium chloride solution, forming "egg yolks" that were placed back into the shells.
Ketchup was put into a piping bag for plating decoration.
Lastly, chocolate powder was sprinkled to make the eggs look more realistic.
However, when Alice placed all the "eggs" in the display case, she found no tourists willing to buy them.
Everyone was captivated by Erina's ice and fire omelet.
"Why... why is everyone over there?"
Seeing the unexpected situation, Alice panicked.
Initially, she thought making mango egg yolks and placing them back into the shells would intrigue tourists.
Little did she know, Erina's improved omelet, with cold mousse and flaming rum, created a more stunning "ice and fire" effect!
Learning that Erina was the first to sell 200 breakfasts, Alice's frustration deepened.
"I can't just sit here."
"If I don't come up with a new molecular dish quickly, I won't even sell 200 breakfasts."
Alice took a deep breath to calm herself.
She cleared her display case and focused on creating a new breakfast dish.
...
[Ding, breakfast stand number 78.]
[Erina Nakiri has sold 300 breakfasts, breaking the record for the fastest time in Totsuki's history!]
At 7:38:18, the breakfast venue's broadcast rang out again.
"What? That's unbelievable!"
"Only 13 minutes after reaching 200 breakfasts, she sold another 100?"
Alice was dumbfounded.
Seeing that she hadn't sold a single breakfast while Erina drew all the tourists, she felt even more despair.
She admitted to herself it was bad luck to have her stand next to Erina's.
In terms of results, they weren't even in the same league!
[Stand 78, Erina Nakiri, has sold 521 breakfasts at 7:57:36. Due to a shortage of ingredients, she has ended today's breakfast test.]
Unsurprisingly, Erina's outstanding performance earned the applause of all examiners and students.
...
"In the morning, people are refreshed after a night's sleep, but their stomachs are still relatively fragile."
"So, if the breakfast isn't balanced and nutritious, it won't sell well."
"Your mango egg idea was creative, but it couldn't escape being flashy but impractical."
"Nutritionally unbalanced, and who would eat sticky stuff first thing in the morning?"
"Compared to that, my ice and fire omelet, based on the Scotch egg, with added mousse, ham, spinach, and egg, along with rum for burning, is simple."
"It's easy to make, often producing hundreds in ten minutes."
"It's balanced, with meat and vegetables, and cheap."
"If people can buy a filling, cheerful breakfast for their kids at a low price, many will."
Seeing Alice hadn't sold any breakfasts, Erina couldn't help but be curious.
Pretending to be aloof, she boasted about her dish while giving some advice.
"Nagging."
"A breakfast is just a breakfast, why so complicated?"
"I didn't sell mine because molecular cuisine is too advanced for ordinary people!"
Listening to Erina, Alice was displeased.
However, her eyes betrayed a realization.
She had overestimated herself and underestimated Erina, never fully grasping the terrifying power of the God Tongue, which could adapt cooking methods on the spot.
"Being stubborn won't help. With only an hour left, you're unlikely to sell 200 breakfasts."
"If you don't recognize your flaws and improve, you'll stay stuck."
Unconcerned, Erina packed her things and was the first to leave the venue.
...
"Unbelievable, seeing Dojima's long-held record broken!"
Watching Erina leave, Hinako Inui felt like she was dreaming.
"Setting records for the shortest time and most breakfasts sold, and the overall quality of students this year is impressive."
"Reaching such a level among nearly 700 stands is truly commendable."
Fumio Daimidō was equally astonished.
"Without the shortage of eggs, she might have broken her record again!"
Shingo Kanazawa remarked in awe.
"Sigh, I misjudged. Though she succeeded just because she's the Director's granddaughter."
"Believed her achievements were natural, but I underestimated the Nakiri bloodline."
"Using the God Tongue perfectly, she paves a path to absolute deliciousness, creating unreachable culinary myths."
"She might be the perfect monstrous creation of Totsuki Academy!"
Dojima Gin sighed.
He had little impression of Erina before.
But her performance during the training camp showed she was always the strongest among the students, like a queen, always above everyone.
To her, everyone else seemed like ants she could crush at will.
Every dish she created was like a dazzling jewel, adding rare elegance to the dark, decaying culinary era!
Perhaps, from the moment she was born with the God Tongue, she was destined to be above others.
...
Bananas, strawberries, avocados, mangoes, blueberries, and other fruits were cut.
High-speed centrifugal spinning separated the pulp and juice, resulting in clear fruit juices.
These were mixed with milk and blended.
For added sweetness, Alice added honey before filling the mixtures into empty eggshells.
Alice placed the completed "eggs" on display.
Soon, curious tourists came over to ask, "Are these poached eggs?"
"No, they aren't."
"The egg white is a mixture of milk, agar, and yogurt."
"The egg yolk is more complex, made by blending fresh mango with sugar and adding it to a calcium lactate solution. Then a spoonful of this mix is placed in a sodium alginate solution, forming a thin gel shell around the juice, creating an egg yolk."
"You can think of it as milk, yogurt, and mango!"
"Amazing, I'll have a poached egg."
...
A gentle bite broke the "poached egg," releasing the juice inside.
The mixed yogurt and egg white provided a rich, sweet, slightly bitter taste that lingered.
First, the cool, refreshing sensation hit.
Then, the mango's sweetness and the milk's creaminess intertwined, creating a delightful taste experience.
The mango's sweetness was perfect, not overly sweet.
The milk's smooth texture made the poached egg even more pleasant.
Each bite offered the mango's pulp fibers and the rich milk flavor, making it irresistible.
This molecular dish's magic lay in looking like a raw poached egg but without any egg taste. Instead, it had the flavors of mango, milk, and yogurt.
This method provided a new texture experience, like enjoying a beautiful piece of art, surprising and delightful!
"Wow, it's mango yogurt."
"Tangy and sweet, and the texture is great."
After one bite, the tourist was amazed.
A poached egg that wasn't a poached egg; mango yogurt that wasn't just mango yogurt.
Despite being slightly inferior in taste, this dish broke traditional perceptions, making it worth a try.
"So, these eggs aren't real either?"
Curious tourists looked at other eggs on display.
"Right, they're just milkshakes on eggshells," Alice explained.
"Interesting, how do you eat them?"
"I left a small hole in the shell; you use a straw."
"Cool, can I have one?"
"Sure."
The tourist bought an "egg," inserted a straw, and took a sip.
"Hmm? This is... this is..."
The taste was smooth and refreshing, very rich.
The sweet flavor matched the mango milk "poached egg" perfectly.
A sense of satisfaction filled the heart unexpectedly!
