Chapter 23 Meeting Li Jingyi by chance
Luo Fan was a little hesitant when he heard this. If it was normal, Shi Jiaxin would ask him to invite him. But today's meal Luo Fan mainly wanted to thank Zhang Minghao, and it would be a bit inappropriate to ask Shi Jiaxin to come and invite him.
Shi Jiaxin saw Luo Fan's hesitation and said quickly: "Brother Fan, the restaurant I chose is very difficult to book normally.
It is recognized as one of the most influential Chinese restaurants in the world. It ranks 19 in the world and ranks 1st in Chinese restaurants. It took me a lot of effort to decide. If you don’t go today, I don’t know when I will be able to eat it next time.”
After hearing Shi Jiaxin's words, Zhang Minghao couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiao Shi, can you be hakkasan?"
(ps: Hakkasan in Shanghai actually opened in March 2014, but hakkasan is the only high-end restaurant I have been to. Instead of writing other hard-cores, it is better to write something I have been to myself, so here is a little bit of awesome.)
Zhang Shuai was a little confused when he saw Zhang Minghao so excited. Isn’t it just a more advanced restaurant? As for being so excited?
Luo Fan had never heard of Hakkasan before, but he had already roughly understood what level this hotel exists from Shi Jiaxin's introduction. He had never been to such a high-end place in his past and present life.
"Oh! Xiao Luo, don't hesitate. Please invite me next time! This is hakkasan! I haven't been there yet! I went to eat once before, and I showed it to me for a year. This time it's my turn."
Zhang Minghao said so, and Luo Fan had nothing to hesitate, so he nodded and agreed.
Of course, Zhang Shuai would not have any objection.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Shi Jiaxin took out her cell phone and made a call.
A moment later, an Audi A6 drove over, Shi Jiaxin opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, and Luo Fan and the other three also got on the car.
Hakkasan is located at No. 18 on the Bund. When Luo Fan and his team arrived, it was already 7:30 pm.
The waiter led Luo Fan and the others to the seat reserved by Shi Jiaxin, and then delivered the menu.
Shi Jiaxin didn't even open the menu and started ordering directly: "Four special crispy duck, special spicy and sweet sauce baked pork willow, white vinegar baked tender meat on the back, garlic and cabbage, fried onion pork belly, and crab meat official swallow soup for soup."
"Okay, sir, do you want any drinks? We have all kinds of wines here." The waiter asked with a smile.
"You don't need to drink, right?" Zhang Shuai, who had mild fatty liver, immediately expressed his objection.
Luo Fan didn't want to drink much, but Zhang Minghao looked eager to try it out, but seeing that Luo Fan and Zhang Shuai didn't drink, he didn't say anything.
Shi Jiaxin thought for a while and said, "Then give us three glasses of soaked water and a Japanese sake."
"No problem, please wait." After saying that, the waiter turned around and left.
The sparkling water and sake came soon, but Luo Fan and the others waited for almost half an hour before serving the dishes in the kitchen.
The first one on the dish was the special crispy duck, with four pieces of duck skin on a plate.
Luo Fan picked up a piece of duck skin and looked at it. He found that the duck skin was burgundy overall, with caviar sprinkled on top, and then the duck skin was underneath. The duck skin was covered with scallions, the duck meat was shredded cucumber under the duck meat, and finally a thin layer of bread.
"It looks no different from ordinary BJ roast duck!" Zhang Shuai said.
Zhang Minghao rolled his eyes when he heard this, silently took out his cell phone and took a photo of the duck skin, and then posted it to the Penguin Space with the caption: Hakkasan's special crispy duck.
"It tastes similar." Zhang Shuai said after taking a look at Zhang Minghao's penguin space.
Luo Fan and Zhang Shuai had similar ideas. Indeed, this crispy duck was no different from ordinary bj roast duck. It was just that it didn't feel so thick and greasy, but it had a hint of refreshing feeling.
The next few dishes also made Luo Fan feel quite confused. The special spicy and sweet sauce baked pork willow ≈ fish-flavored shredded pork, which is very similar in taste and appearance, but the amount is much smaller than that of ordinary restaurants.
As for the tender meat of wild boar with white vinegar, it is obviously a lighter sweet and sour tenderloin. Luo Fan felt that this dish was not as delicious as Zhang Shuai's father.
The two garlic cabbage and fried shallot flavored pork belly are indeed delicious, which makes Luo Fan feel very amazing, especially the pork belly, which can't taste any pork belly. On the contrary, the meat tastes very delicate and the taste is quite rich. Luo Fan has never eaten such delicious pork belly in his two lives.
As for the final crab meat official swallow soup, Luo Fan only had one word of evaluation: light!
The bird's nest looks quite complete but has no smell. If it weren't for the smell, Luo Fan even doubted whether there was seasoning in this dish.
Zhang Shuai obviously thought so too. He took a small sip of his bowl of crab meat official Yan soup and put it aside, and never touched it again.
Halfway through the meal, Luo Fan suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom. He asked the waiter about the location of the toilet and walked towards the other side.
Luo Fan walked to the toilet door, and a figure that was extremely familiar to him walked out of the women's toilet and passed by him.
Luo Fan subconsciously looked back and the first thing that caught his eye was the iconic short hair. I don’t know what happened today. A small tuft of hair on the girl’s head was tied with a small braid, like a tuft of dull hair.
"Daimao" swayed left and right with the girl's steps, so lively.
Then Luo Fan noticed that the girl's hair color changed. It was black before, but now it was brown. The clothes she wore didn't seem to be right, and it looked like the school uniform of a high school student.
"Mikoto Misaka?" Luo Fan shouted subconsciously.
The girl paused and slowly turned her head.
"Tank classmate, why are you?" Li Jingyi was stunned for a moment and raised her lips slightly and asked in a brisk tone.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. Why did this dress today? The rabbit turned into a discharge?" Luo Fan asked back with a little teasing.
"This is called cosplay. I just finished a comic exhibition with my friend and had not had time to change my clothes.
By the way, Luo Fan, you actually know Mikoto Misaka. Do you like anime too?"
"Well, I'm an old otakus."
"That's it! Then I'm going to attend the comic exhibition tomorrow. Will you come?"
"I'll be free tomorrow."
"Then let's make a decision. I'll send you the address later." After that, Li Jingyi waved to Luo Fan and turned around and left.
