It wasn't bad. Taking into account that it was made by Jo Minjoon, it was a really good score. But for Kaya to have helped him on this dish, it was an ordinary score. But the dish wasn't completed yet. Because the foie gras wasn't cooked.
Jo Minjoon tasted the puré. The sweet and sour flavors unique of the white grape stimulated his tongue. And what was felt at the end was the flavor of the demi-glace sauce. It wasn't too excessive and you didn't get sick of it.
Jo Minjoon turned to look at Kaya.
"Shall we place the puré in the plate first?"
"Yes. That would be good."
Jo Minjoon picked a rectangular plate. Then he poured the puré in a round shape. He didn't forget what Alan had told him. That he was neglecting plating. So he wanted to show that.
Jo Minjoon dropped three drops of puré in a zigzag shape. Then he pushed the puré to the empty spaces of the dish with the bottom part of the spoon. At first glance, it looked like three lines were drawn. The top and bottom lines drawn to the right, and the middle line drawn to the left.
He thought that it would be quite good if he placed the three pieces of foie gras for the judges. Jo Minjoon looked back again at Kaya. Kaya's eyes were more serious than ever. It was at that time when Jo Minjoon was opening his mouth.
"Kaya....."
"Time is over! This is the last shift! Quickly finish your dishes!"
Even before Jo Minjoon could say something, the buzzer, together with Alan's voice sounded. Kaya stood in front of the countertop with a frozen expression. And then, took the foie gras.
Foie gras, at first glance, looked like chicken breast that was boiled down in beer. The yellowy brown exterior wasn't as smooth as she had thought.
Kaya touched the exterior of the foie gras slightly. It was soft. And when she sliced it, that sensation didn't change. The foie gras, which interior was well thawed, sliced as well as pudding.
Kaya started to slice the foie gras. It had the shape of a narrow and thick columns. She placed it in the hot pan.
Foie gras was a dish which you had to accumulate fat in the goose's liver. Also it released abundant oil and the amount it released was enough to fill the pan.
When one side of it got seared enough, Kaya flipped the foie gras. Then tilted the pan. The foie gras started to tilt to one side, and the oil started to gather in one place. Then, Kaya used that oil to pour it on the foie gras. It was the arroser method Jo Minjoon had used previously.
The sight of the oil sizzling and boiling was really pleasing to see. The thick aroma that could be felt wasn't nowhere near what they remembered. The aroma was so strong that you could mistake the meat for spices. Jo Minjoon tried to connect the aroma he had never experienced before with something in his mind. But he couldn't do so. It was at the point that there was almost nothing that could be compared to.
She placed the seared foie gras on top of the white grape puré. And on top of that was placed the thinly sliced white grapes as decoration. And at that moment, an uncontainable smile could be seen from Jo Minjoon's mouth.

8 points. The dish that was half made by him got an 8. It meant that it could be presented in a Michelin restaurant immediately. Jo Minjoon looked at Kaya. Looking at that joyful expression, Kaya couldn't help but frown.
