The taste of French food
On the seventh of February at noon, Sam Genesis and I go to a French restaurant to have lunch. After the thorough comparison of the price, location, taste etc. finally we decided to go there, exactly except the gooses’ lung other kinds of food should prone to our flavor. The restaurant is christened “French dishes” it is located on the 51TH HAN KOU ROAD.
For my first sight of it, the commodious environment, luxurious service, fragrant atmosphere which I have imagined vanished right away. Exactly it is quite small, but the environment, service is decent. The small restaurant has two parts for entertaining the customers, one could be seen directly from the outside, and the other is hid beside the counter. Surprisingly, more foreigners were willing to have meal at “French dishes”, self-evidently my intuition told me the food should be quite delectable and tasted memorably. After glanced e menu, I ordered a bowel of leek-potato soup, a share of fresh bolognaise noodles, and the roasted apple with cinnamon. I ordered them because I found these foods are rather distinctive, and bristle with the mystery, in one way, I like it because I have not heard it before. For the Sam and Genesis they preferred like the spicy and hot kind, before the eating, we looked around the environment carefully and curiously. We found the factors for restaurant to attract the consumers are not merely how big it is. More importantly, people have their own preference for it taste, the attraction of the environment, and whether it has a balmy environment for eating. In this restaurant, manager seems more astute, for instance he disposes the magazines, the latest newspaper, novel, and create a melodious music for people who are waiting for food, in this way, it is easily for people to kill the time, and mentally they have more inclination to have meal at the same restaurant again. During the waiting, I encountered a foreign couple, they looked vey convivial, by etiquette I greeted to them, they beamed at me and we began to chat with one another. Through the talking I knew the diet difference between China and their country Britain. For example in their country people used to use fork and small knife for eating. During meal if you make a cross by fork and knife on the plate, it means you have finished it, and during the meal people eat quietly, they don’t like make the noise by gobbling the food, or using the tools.
About 15 minutes later, we began to eat food! Inevitably the cuisine of the leek- potato soup is totally different than Chinese. For it ingredients, it added more cheese, butter, mashed potato and less salt, oil. The soup let me recall the original taste of the potato, leek. Although the taste is not totally cater to my flavor, but it is acceptable and smelled fragrantly. Later I ate the fresh bolognaise noodles; this food is originated from the Italy. The whole ingredients were made up of pepper sauce, meat seasoning, sugar, little salt, leeks, noodles etc. before the eating just from the optic and smelling sense, it was attractive enough to make you drool over it. The noodles were more al dente which let people to relish the eating more relaxedly and have the better emotion. The final dessert was the roasted apple with cinnamon. That was my first time to know except eating for fruit, apple also can make a meal. After the cutting it rivulet of juice slowly flow down. That looked so cute; I even didn’t want to eat it! However in general I found this food should have some upswing, because it had excessive oil, which is totally detrimental for our health. While people enjoy the food, it aims to make our physical body worse…
In general I think eating the meal at this restaurant is a good choice, relatively speaking the food is cheaper, for most of the food. They are still very healthy and palatable.
