Another meat dish that they served was galbi. They served both marinated beef and pork shirt ribs. They were grilled over an open flame and cut into bite-sized pieces, suitable for quick consuming without getting messy.
There was also a dish of friend chicken, which was crispy, golden and very delicious especially when dipped into that secret sauce she shamelessly asked for more from Madam Lim who readily agreed to give her some.
And lastly, they provided a fish dish – saengseon jorim (braised fish). From the chef’s mouth, they used yellow croakers for the dish. This dish is made by using a certain fish (mackerel, hairtail/beltfish, or yellow croaker), braise it in a wide, shallow pan alongside chunks of daikon radish, and a mixture of soy sauce, chili flakes, garlic, and ginger.
The fish and the radish absorb the thick, reduced sauce beautifully and pairing this with rice completes the dish and makes it a wonderful dish not to miss.
Thanks to this additional dish, Diamond lost count of the rice bowls she ate in that one hour. However, other people were counting.
For a typical person, while eating at home and using home bowls, having at most one to two bowls was the norm, as the rest of the belly would be filled with the side dishes.
However, for this one sitting, the kitchen staff who had prepared a feast for at most ten people, found all the food that they have prepared completely devoured with no scraps remaining. As for the 10- cup rice cooker that they have cooked, capable of producing twenty bowls, it was all clean without a single grain in it.
Their madam only ate a single bowl, which meant the rest was in that belly which wasn’t bulging but looked flat. Was this guest a mukbanger?
Even Madam Lim was filled with shock as she experienced this in person. Having watched some of the videos which influenced her to instruct the kitchen to cook more food even if one person was coming. Since videos were usually edited, who knows if she hadn’t eaten that completely?
But now, she was proved otherwise, after seeing how she demolished every single dish with a smile on her face.
It was only after she drank the remaining fish soup that she patted her flat belly with satisfaction.
"Aunty, your chefs are magical. I truly enjoyed this meal. Thank you very much!" she sincerely thanked the other, having eaten her fill.
It’s been a while since she ate numerous spicy dishes and yet she didn’t feel the consequences of fire. Perhaps, it was because the moment she eats, her physique will start the magic, converting any food into energy to drive the gears of her body.
With her face twitching, Madam Lim, exasperatedly responded, "You are welcome. As long as you like it!"
She scared this old lady very much.
When she heard that they could meet as soon as she arrives, she was overwhelmed with gratitude and happiness. That was a major step taken to saving her son. How could she not be happy?
Understanding the importance of Diamond’s arrival, and how she wasn’t a favorite of drama. She didn’t even bother to inform her other children. So, unless their staff had passed messages to them, they would be alone for a while. By the time anyone else returns, either a solution would already be there or a new plan would be in formulation.
Having this nonsensical confrontation where she let a person she called get questioned and doubted, and have to prove herself, she didn’t think that Diamond would be very pleased about that. It wasn’t about trying to give Diamond face, but she had this foreboding sensation that if that ever happens, they would be the ones suffering. She hasn’t forgotten that Diamond was a vengeful spirit towards those who wrong her.
Didn’t she host a concert around the same date as those artists who spoke ill of her and caused them a lot of damage?
That employee who stole from her, wasn’t she uplifted before getting dragged down in a humiliating manner?
There were so many of her achievements that were made public and she didn’t want to be part of them. Moreover, there was that legend from the auction where she got head-to-head with that other man. Did that man win?
With all that in mind, it was better to just be direct about her needs and deal with the matter as soon as possible before any conflict arises.
