Chapter 579: Lemon Water

The rich, golden oil from the Hele Crab coated each grain of rice in the risotto, turning them into shimmering golden nuggets, transforming each into a flavorful explosion.

Seasoned with saffron, sweet pepper, and rosemary, each bite delivered the utmost pleasure.

By this point in the competition, although the judges only took a small bite of each dish, they were already feeling full.

Still, when Chuan Ye Zhengming's Valencia Hele Crab Seafood Risotto was served, many judges couldn't help but take a few extra bites.

Unfortunately, one of the judges no longer had a qualification card, so in the end, Chuan Ye Zhengming only received 12 qualification cards.

Following Chuan Ye Zhengming, six more chefs received the four or more qualification cards needed to advance, while three failed to complete the competition.

In the end, out of the one hundred and five chefs invited to compete, only forty-two made it to the next round.
