Chef at the University Canteen

Chapter 220: Attacked by a Bun at Breakfast! (Part 2)


Especially the "Stargazing" pie, which is essentially sardines with their heads and tails cut off and inserted into a pastry pie. The finished product looks like a group of fish with blank dead fish eyes, gazing at the stars at a 45-degree angle. Just looking at it is enough to kill anyone's appetite.

The vast internet users even gave it a seemingly more fitting name: "Eyes Wide Open in Death"...

Sun Never Sets cuisine not only contains dark dishes, but the traditional English breakfast is considered the dawn of Sun Never Sets' dark cuisine, becoming a favorite among many international students.

Sun Never Sets playwright Somerset Maugham once said: "If you want to eat well in Sun Never Sets, have breakfast three times a day!"

This "golden quote," while ridiculing Sun Never Sets' dark cuisine, emphasizes the dawn status of the English breakfast.

Sun Never Sets also has an old saying: "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."

This saying further proves that people of Sun Never Sets are quite particular about breakfast.

The traditional English breakfast is considered one of the most sumptuous breakfasts in the world. A complete English breakfast must include fried bacon, fried sausages, fried eggs, grilled tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, buttered grilled toast, baked beans in tomato sauce, hash browns, black pudding, and juice, among others.

Of course, breakfast varieties differ according to region and taste.

Therefore, Professor Hans and other members of the visiting group did not have any particular expectations for Huaxia's breakfast. After all, what rich breakfast could surpass the English breakfast?

Mind you, they all grew up eating English breakfast!

What Professor Hans and the others did not expect was, when the waiter served the breakfasts, they saw the table filled with all kinds of foods. They were all dumbstruck.

Just the buns alone had several types!

Aside from soup-filled buns, there were fresh meat buns, scallion beef buns, mushroom and vegetable buns, spicy vermicelli buns, red bean paste buns, and more, about five or six types.

And breakfast didn't stop at buns; there were enticingly fragrant hot braised items such as duck necks, duck feet, duck wings, pig head meat, pig ears, pig tails, as well as eggs, dried bean curd, and so on.

There were also fried spring rolls, and griddled spring pancakes, spread with aromatic sauces and stuffed with stir-fried vegetables—just looking at them makes one salivate!

Besides, there was porridge, lots of kinds!

Beyond plain porridge, there were lean meat and vegetable porridge, mushroom chicken porridge, century egg and lean meat porridge, snow fungus porridge with rock sugar, pumpkin and date porridge, longan lotus seed eight-treasure porridge...

All kinds, an abundance laid out on the table!

With so many breakfast options, where to start?

Professor Hans and the visiting group members looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

The English breakfast, although rich, compared to the Chinese breakfast, is like a little brother!

"I just saw a lot of people eating those small buns; they seem really delicious, how about we try them too?"

At this moment, Pete, a teacher in the visiting group, pointed at the steamer basket on the table, suggesting to Professor Hans.

Professor Hans recalled how, earlier while passing through the cafeteria dining area, he indeed saw many students in front of a steamer basket with these same small buns.

The students were all eating with enjoyment, their eyes almost squinting into lines, hence these little buns must be delicious.

So, he nodded, smilingly said: "Then let's try these first and see how they taste?"

In Sun Never Sets, there are bread, burgers, and sandwiches, but such steamed white dough buns, they had never seen before, let alone tasted.

Thus, Professor Hans and his group were very interested in these buns, and each wanted to try them to see how they tasted.

Placing a basket of small buns in front of himself, Pete, who had earlier suggested, eagerly reached out to grab one bun and took a bite as soon as it reached his mouth.

As soon as he bit down, an unexpected incident occurred!

The thin and soft dough skin was just bitten open, and a rush of steaming hot broth shot out from inside!

"Oh! Shit! How come there's so much soup in there?!"

Caught off guard, without any preparation, Pete was drenched with broth all over his head and face, nearly falling off his chair in shock!

With a flustered expression, he threw away both the soup-filled bun he'd yet to eat and his chopsticks, somewhat shaking with fright.

Now, Pete's mind was filled with confusion and frustration; bread had never had any soupy liquids, how could Huaxia's "bread" possibly contain soup?

This is just too miraculous!

Professor Hans and the others were equally flabbergasted. They had never expected breakfast could cause a bun to "attack" them. This was simply unheard of, truly bizarre.

Although he wanted to laugh badly, being the courteous gentleman he was, Professor Hans restrained his amusement, stood up from his chair, and handed a few paper towels to Pete to comfort him:

"Pete, wipe the broth off your face first. You haven't eaten this bun before, so it's normal not to know how to eat it. Just be careful next time and it'll be fine.

Moreover, don't you think the broth splashed from the bun is fragrant? It's not only miraculous but also delicious!
