IRIS BLUE
Chapter 7: Pastry Chef

All eyes looked at Elna, some dessert moss in a serving plate without rest.Melani the last finished immediately put on a big smile.

"I love your dessert, it's so good, it melts in your mouth.What do you think?"Melani asked for opinions on some people who had tasted Elna dessert.

Prooookkk..proookkk.all clapping.

"It's the best dessert I've ever eaten.This oath is delicious." said one of them.

"I think the same, it's really delicious."Praise the others.

"What's this?"A man had just come and approached the crowd.

"Hi Chef Rey..."Sapa Melani's.

"Mrs Melani..."Chef Rey wonders why HRD head Iris hotel came to his territory, usually also he who met the middle-aged woman.

But it did not last long, he found the answer after seeing a foreign woman in his kitchen.

"Include me, he's the head chef of Iris hotel."Melani introduces Rey to Elna.

Rey looked at Elna and stretched out her hand, "Hi, I'm Rey."

"Elna."tell Elna briefly.

Deg.deg.deg suddenly his heart skipped a beat when his hand came into contact with Elna.

"Hhhmmmm.Hopefully you will work with me." he said after taking off his hand.

"Yes Chef."Elna smiled.

"Chef wants to try Chef Elna's dessert?"assistant chef who is usually called Yudi offers Rey to taste a dessert made by Elna.

"Of course."He spoke while looking at Elna.

Yudi immediately picked up the remaining dessert one on the table."It's Chef."

Rey takes the plate from Yudi's hand and notices a green dessert in front of her."Is this a dessert moss?"ask her.

"Yes Chef."Said Elna.Honestly he was very deg degan.However a little much he knew who the man who tasted his homemade dessert.Although never met in person, but as a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu,clearly he knew the best graduate of his senior, and one of the best graduates was the hazel-eyed man standing in front of him.

Rey smiled after trying the dessert, then put the plate on the table."Welcome to my junior." he said.

Many do not understand the meaning of Chef Rey's words, but not with Melani and some other assistant chef.

"Well, I salute you, Chef Rey, just tasting a little, you already know that he's from the same school as you."Said Ms. Melani.

"Of course mom, the first time I saw his appearance I was suspicious, because Le Cordon Bleu has its own characteristics in terms of plating.And after tasting it, I make sure that he is my junior."Rey smiled, then looked at Elna meaningfully.

"Alright, I don't think I need to worry, please take care of our new chef chef Rey, I'll leave her to you."Melani said before leaving the big kitchen.

Rey raised her thumb, and nodded her head in response to Melani's request.

"Follow into my room."Rey walks first on the tail of Elna behind her.

"Please sit down."

"Thank you chef."

"I haven't gotten your CV from Ms. Melani, maybe she forgot to send it.May I ask you directly?"Ask chef Rey.

"Chefs are happy, of course."

"France or Australia?Chef Rey's question refers to where Elna went to cook school.

"Australia chef."he said briefly.

"So you know me?"

Elna nodded."In the campus hall, photos of all the best graduates of Le Cordon Bleu are displayed there including a photo of your chef."Elna.

"Alright, for your first day, check all the materials in the storage shed, if there is anything lacking or anything you need, take note and send it to my email."

"Good chef."

"Your room at the end of the left aisle, temporarily, I'll give you four assistant chefs to help you.Enough?"

"Now you can go back to your room, and do the job I gave you earlier."

"Good chef."

Elna stood up and stepped out of the room, but before she held the doorknob, Chef Rey called out to her.

"Chef Elna, wait."

Elna turned, "She's the chef."

"Today we have a VIP guest from Russia, a successful businessman came with his wife and stayed at the president suit room.Mr Vladimir loved spicy food,so tonight the main course is solyanka.but his wife is on a diet, nah, now I ask you, about the appetizer and dessert what would you recommend for our current situation?"Rey asked to try Elna's abilities.

After thinking for a moment, he began to issue his opinion."For the appetizer, it's probably best if Chef serves pumpkin soup, and for dessert I'll make ptichye moloko."

"Reason?"rey asked full of probes, but the pull of his lips to the side had shown that he was satisfied with the choice of his new chef, only he wanted to know what reason Elna chose both.

"First of all, our VIP guest is Russian and the main course Chef Rey chose was a typical Russian meal, so I tried to choose the same appetizer and dessert, for her pumpkin soup, so I tried to pick the same,this is a very tasty pumpkin soup, and is suitable for the wife of Vladimir who is on a diet because it contains a lot of protein, vitamin C and fiber that is good for health, as well as good for health,while ptichye moloko for dessert because the main ingredient of this cake is milk coated with chocolate with a taste that is not too sweet, and milk can reduce the spicy taste of the main course that the chef chooses."The light of Elna is long.

Now Rey can't hide her smile, "Good choice, get everything ready!"Rey's orders.

"Appetizer is also a chef?"

"Yes appetizer and dessert, all I leave to you."Further.

"But my skills are dessert chef."subtly refuse.

"Yes I know, but a chef has to make it all.And this is your debut, in case the response of Mr. Vladimir and his wife is good, he said,most likely you do not have to wait until three months to become the permanent Chef of Iris Hotel."Said Rey.

"Good Chef."Elna turns around, planning to return to her room, but once again Rey calls out to her.

"Do you have a sister?"Ask Rey.

Elna frowned, confused by Rey's question.

"I'm sorry if my question is a little personal."

"No papa Chef, and I don't have an older sister, I'm sorry."Elna shut the door to Chef Rey's room and stepped into her room."This is a rare opportunity for me, I should be able to present the best for the Iris hotel narrator."Elna monologues.

Rey still stood pensive and sighed harshly,"Hhhhh....Maybe I just miss him."Rey monologues.

After Elna's departure, her thoughts drifted on the lover who decided to marry her older sister.

In the afternoon, busy activities began to occur in the main kitchen and pastry kitchen, each busy with the task given, and Elna was very grateful,Chef Rey sent in a very deft assistant so she didn't find much of a constraint in getting everything done on time.

And arrive at the time to present all the menus that are prepared for special guests of Iris Hotel tonight,and of course this is the task of the head Chef to serve food.And the first one served is pumpkin soup.

Vladimir's master's wife stared at the soup bowl in front of him with a sparkling face."How did Chef know I liked pumpkins so much?"He spoke very fluent Indonesian.

"Really madam?Our pastry chef made it, and hopefully it feels to your taste."

"I'll try it."Madame Vladimir took a spoon and tasted the pumpkin soup which looks very appetizing.

"Wahh chef, this is delicious.."praise Vladimir's mistress."Try it baby, I know you don't like pumpkins very much, but after this I'm sure you'll be hooked."He told his husband to try it.

Doubtful Mr. Vladimir put the pumpkin soup into his mouth.And as his wife said earlier, he was really addicted, so it did not feel the soup was out of nothing.

"This is one that I like when I go to Indonesia and stay here, in addition to the service is very satisfying, my tongue is also very satisfied to enjoy the food served."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir."

"And I can guess, you made me solyanka, chef Rey, I can smell the fragrance, when you present it in front of me, I'm impatient." she smiled.

Rey immediately took two bowls of solyanka to enjoy the two guests."Your guess is correct sir, and please enjoy."Rey placed the final bowl in front of Vladimir's mistress.

"I thought it was so good, you never let me down, Chef Rey."Once again, Vladimir praised Rey.

"May I meet the chef who made this pumpkin soup?I'm curious."Madam Vladimir spoke between her meals.

"Of course, madam."
