In order to regain the public’s trust and become Chaos City’s food guide once again, the Food Association was very sincere this time around. They invited famous personalities in the culinary world and renowned food critics to be the judges to judge anonymously to obtain the final results.

  Other than the overall ranking, there were even categorized lists including meat category rankings, seafood rankings, soup rankings, snacks rankings, and more, which encompassed almost all varieties of food. The categorized rankings made the search for food even more convenient.

  The innovative ranking system and anonymous judging made all the foodies curious.

  Every customer would have their number one dish in their heart, so it would be inevitable that they would be curious about who would claim the top spot in the various categories, which dish would it be, and if it was the number one dish in their hearts.

  Of course, most of the people waiting in the front were the owners of the various restaurants and cafeterias—they nervously watched the timer on the screen countdown.

  The Delicious Cuisine Rankings would, no doubt, have an immediate effect on the restaurants’ customer flow. If they could reach a good spot in these rankings, there would be no worries about business for a subsequent period of time.

  “In my opinion, the top spot for the meat category would definitely go to Ducas Restaurant’s roast pig. Could there be anything more delicious than roast pig?” an obese middle-aged man said with a grin. As an avid fan of roast pig, Don had already made Ducas Restaurant an indispensable part of his life.

  Besides, as an experienced chowhound, he knew that Ducas Restaurant always had a secure spot as the first place in the Delicious Cuisine Rankings for the past decade, and its position was never surpassed or challenged by others.

  Even if there were some changes made to the Delicious Cuisine Rankings, he firmly believed that the roast pig from Ducas Restaurant would be undefeatable in the meat category.

  “It’s hard to say for the rest, but Sith Restuarant’s freshwater seafood soup would definitely be the top for soups! The thick soup made from fresh freshwater seafood, combined with the owner’s secret seasonings, has an enchanting taste!”


  “I’m highly recommending the stir-fried small river shrimp from Dica restaurant. The river shrimp stir-fried under high heat is so delicious that even the shell is crispy and tender. It gets more fragrant as you chew when you eat it whole including the head. Couple it with a flask of good wine, and you can’t find another place for comparison.”


  The foodies kept recommending their favorites with a smile while flaunting a little. They were waiting to see their favorite dish appear at the top when the rankings were revealed, and then to receive the waves of admiring gazes from the others.

  “If the judges’ mouths are all normal, in my opinion, it is only normal if Mamy Restaurant slays in all the rankings,” Harrison said with a chuckle after he and Gjerj squeezed their way to the front.

  “Isn’t it a little too cruel if it slays everything?” Gjerj said while scratching his head.

  Harrison thought for a while, and, with a nod, said, “That’s true, it’s better to live and let live.”


  “Big Brother, we’re not opening a shop in Aden Square, why are we looking at this?” Eugene, who was carrying a large backpack, asked Fabian with bewilderment among the crowd.

  “Although we’re not opening a shop here right now, that’s our goal.” Fabian looked at the ranking board that stood tall with glittering eyes, and continued, “Aden Square is Chaos City’s most bustling place with the most places to eat. We should first get a firm placing in the marketplace, and the next step would be to open our very own restaurant in Aden Square so that more customers would get to eat our roast chicken.”


  “To let more people try our roast chicken?” Eugene nodded ponderingly. After a while, he curiously said, “Big Brother, do you think that Mag’s restaurant that we’re going to today would make it to the rankings?”


  “Perhaps. The owner of that restaurant seemed quite confident,” Fabian said after thinking for a while.

  “I don’t believe that fellow would be able to come out with anything delicious. In my opinion, his restaurant would definitely not make it into the rankings,” Eugene said with certainty as he shook his head……

  What’s this shiny thing? Gina looked at the magical screen curiously as the numbers on the screen changed.

  When she saw so many people staring at it, and even Mr. Mag paused in his steps, she thought that this had to be something very important.

  Mag had been taking note of the discussion that was going on in the crowd. Amongst them, there were also Mamy Restaurant’s regulars recommending Mamy Restaurant’s food confidently, but he did not say a single word all throughout, and only had his eyes fixed on the flickering numbers.

  He had not felt such nervousness for a very long time—ever since awaiting his TOEFL results back then.

  “Ten, nine, eight……”


  As the countdown got closer to an end, the crowd surrounding the screen quieted down. Everyone held their breath and stared wide-eyed at the magical screen as they waited for the arrival of the miracle.

  Delicious Cuisine Rankings — Meat category rankings:

  First place: Red braised pork — Mamy Restaurant!

  Second place: Peking Duck — Mamy Restaurant!

  Third place: Pepper steak — Mamy Restaurant!

  Fourth place: Roast pig — Ducas Restaurant!……

  When the results of the first category ranking came out, everyone was speechless when they saw Mamy Restaurant won the first three spots.

  Ducas Restaurant was famed for its roast pig, but it was only in the fourth place after being defeated by three dishes from the same restaurant. What was going on?

  “F*ck, there must be some dirty play here, right? Where did this Mamy Restaurant come from? How can there be three meat dishes that taste better than roast pig!” Don was in disbelief.

  “Mamy Restaurant is incredible!” Harrison said with a satisfied smile. This ranking caused many regulars of Mamy Restaurant to smile.

  They felt increasingly proud when they saw the people around them look dumbfounded.

  Well, the judges are quite professional. Mag’s eyes also lit up a little, and he smiled slightly.

  The ranking for the meat category rankings stayed on the screen for around 10 seconds before it minimized to the bottom right corner of the magical screen. The next ranking to be published was the seafood rankings.
