Chapter 32

Diners can choose from more than 40 appetizers, soups and salads, steaks and lamb chops, signature dishes, poultry and seafood, side dishes, desserts and a variety of options on this exquisite Morton Steakhouse menu. drinks.

However, Shen Xiaoxiao did not find most of the must-have dishes on the menu of the New York branch of Morton's Steakhouse.The appetizer options, for example, don't have half oyster shells with meat, grilled sea scallops, grilled snails, tuna tacos, prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella, or rib-steak tacos.

Therefore, she had to choose crab cakes and seafood platter for appetizers; for soup and salad, she chose lobster bisque and Caesar salad; for steak and lamb chops, the only and best choice was of course filet mignon.

Signature dishes, poultry and seafood, she only saw Boston lobster and grilled salmon.There were no Chilean sea bass fillets, cold-water lobster tails, Alaskan king crab legs, grilled Maine lobster from the New York branch, so she didn't order seafood.

Finally desserts, hot chocolate cake, sundaes, creme brulee, cheesecake.Although she didn't have her favorite double chocolate mousse and Haagen-Dazs ice cream, she had to order creme brulee and Morton's legendary hot chocolate cake as a substitute.

When putting down the menu, Wu Wenjing asked her with a smile, "How is it? Is there anything you like?"

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, "Uh...I am very grateful to you two for your hospitality, even though there are basically none of the dishes I like to eat here."

Zhao Jianhui, who was sitting on the left side, blinked and didn't believe her words, "Miss Shen..."

"Call me little."

"Okay. Xiaoxiao, this Morton's Steakhouse is quite well-known on the Internet and in Shanghai. Why do you feel that there is no dish you like?"

"Mr. Zhao, just now Wu Wenjing and I were discussing something about the New York branch of Morton's Steakhouse."

"Oh...? Can I just keep my ears open?"

"Of course. I didn't order your main course, I only chose some appetizers, side dishes and desserts."

Wu Wenjing took the menu, looked at it and said, "Xiao Xiao, what about your main course?"

Xiao Xiao picked up the goblet and took a sip of mineral water, "Filet Mignon."

"Fili? But, the most popular dish here is prime T-bone steak."

"T-bone is also good. If you don't need to maintain shape or lose weight, T-bone is of course the best choice."

"What do you mean?"

"When it comes to the value of a cow, the filet is the least active part of the cow's body. Because there are only such a small piece on each cow, it seems 'rare is more expensive'. Right?"

"Yes."

"So, filet mignon, commonly known as beef tenderloin, is characterized by more lean meat, high protein, and low fat. It is more suitable for girls who like to lose weight and maintain their figure." Xiaoxiao explained carefully.

"Really? That's fine, I want a filet mignon too." Wu Wenjing nodded.

Then, he asked her husband, "What about you? What kind of steak do you want?"

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled softly, "I think, Mr. Zhao must choose between sirloin steak and rib eye steak."

Zhao Jianhui shook his head and laughed, "Xiao Xiao, you know my taste better than Wen Jing."

Wu Wenjing glared slightly at her husband, "What are you talking about!? Talk nonsense again, you pay for today's dinner yourself."

"I'm sorry, Wu Wenjing. Did I...did I talk too much?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, keep talking." Wu Wenjing said with a smile on her face.

"Sirloin steak is the outer tenderloin, the loin of the beef, which contains a certain amount of fat, especially the white tendons on the outside, which is more tough and chewy, suitable for young male diners. Ribeye steak, Chewier than sirloin, more flavorful than filet. Juicy, tender, with lots of red and white fat that's beautifully marbled."

"Well, it makes sense. It sounds like it's really suitable for Jianhui to eat."

"Okay, I've said enough as a guest. Next, I think it's up to the host to order."

Zhao Jianhui turned his head and greeted the waiter in the distance, "Waiter, we want to order here."

A young boy came over quickly, "Excuse me, what do you want to order?"

Wu Wenjing asked friendly, "Xiao Xiao, you have eaten authentic Morton's steak in New York, why don't you order it for us?"

Zhao Jianhui took advantage of the situation and chimed in, "That's right. From the chat just now, I can tell that Xiaoxiao must be an expert in eating steak."

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll add three more dishes, Morton's signature burger, Boston lobster and oysters."

After ordering all the dishes she wanted to order, she asked the waiter again, "Do you have any good red wine here?"

Wu Wenjing whispered from the side, "Xiao Xiao, we both drove here by ourselves, so we can't drink."

"I know. You can drink non-alcoholic drinks like mineral water or fruit juice."

"Then you order red wine, won't you drink it by yourself?"

"Of course. The steak needs to be paired with red wine to taste the essence of the steak."

"Miss, what kind of red wine do you want?" The young male waiter quickly pulled his eyes away from the tattoo pattern on the small left upper arm and asked.

"Forget it. You give me a bottle of 'Hands of Time' from Stag's Leap Cellars 2012."

"The hand of time?"

"Is your sommelier here Chinese or American?"

"American."

"Ask your sommelier to come over."

When the waiter turned to leave, Zhao Jianhui and his wife looked at her, "Why are you looking for their sommelier?"

Shen Xiaoxiao said, "Oh, the waiter may not know the specific name, year or which wine cellar produced the red wine."

A foreign man in a high-end shirt and trousers came to the table for the three of them following the guidance of the waiter.After looking at Shen Xiaoxiao beside him for a few times, he suddenly said in English, "Camilla, how did you come here (Camilla, how did you come here)?"

Looking at the foreign man who was speaking, Xiaoxiao smiled and stood up and shouted in English, "holyshit! Jeffrey, Ithought you were dead too. (My God! Jeffrey, I thought you were dead.)"

At this time, he turned around with a smile and introduced to Zhao Jianhui and his wife, "My friends, let me introduce you. This is the handsome American guy I met in Chicago, Jeffrey."

Zhao Jianhui and his wife stood up and introduced themselves to each other in poor English.The American man named Jeffrey actually spoke fluent Chinese, "Hello, I am Camilla's American friend."
