Linda noticed that Sarah had been mentioning the fish in the restaurant several times. She had just told Linda that fish was the specialty of the restaurant. Now, she mentioned again that the specials were all fish. Obviously, she was nervous.
It seemed that the dishes really had been manipulated.
"Oh, really? So, which of these fish are the specials? Why don't you tell us?" Linda asked with a smile.
Sarah looked particularly calm. As a waiter served the first dish, Sarah began to describe it.
"You see, Lady Nalan. This is one of the specialties of the restaurant - Codfish with Poached Eggs."
Linda looked at the dish carefully. It had a pile of white things that were made to look like a salad.
Then, the waiter sliced the white part open, and all the egg yolks burst out.
"Lady Nalan, the codfish needs to be eaten with sauce, " The waiter gave a cordial introduction.
Linda cast a glimpse at Anna and received a nod in response.
So she went to taste the fish. It was delicious. No wonder it was one of the specials.
Then, the following dishes served all had fish in them. All of them were exquisite, living up to the reputation of the restaurant's namesake.
Linda can't help but exclaim over the wide variety of fish that were served. After a while, a waiter served a burning hotpot of fish head.
Having hotpot in winter, Linda had to admit that it was a nice experience.
But Sarah had yet to do what she really wanted to, right? This was only the calm before the storm.
"Well, the last dish is coming. The fish used is a grouper, which is very common in households. But it's especially good here, and the restaurant only serves one every day. Lady Nalan, please enjoy."
Nearly half an hour passed, a lot of fish dishes had been served. Linda was stuffed and didn't expect another one.
But since it was Sarah's treat, so what if she ordered more dishes!
"Grouper?"
"This kind of fish is very common. It's usually a staple home-cooked fish in average family households."
When the braised fish was served on the table, Linda paid attention to it to see if there was anything suspicious.
"Lady Shen, why don't you tell us what's special about this grouper? Why does the restaurant serve only one each day?"
"This grouper is a deep-sea grouper, which is hard to catch. It's more nutritious and succulent than the common grouper. It is low in fat and high in protein, making it good for women, " Sarah explained, a faint smile flickered across her lips.
"This grouper is quite big!" Linda looked at this grouper. It was relatively larger than the usual ones.
"Of course, this is a deep-sea grouper, which is much larger than common groupers in the market, " The waiter, standing on the side, explained hastily.
"I see, " Linda stretched out her hand and poked it with chopsticks.
