Presenting to Judges

Judges
"Visually, it looks stunning, and it's authentic. I think you've played to your strengths, which is nice. Well done. Shall we taste? (Indicates vinaigrette). So this is meant to dress the salad?"
Aivan: "Yes. I like to drown mine and the noodles as well. Everything, everything. Mix it all up".
Judge: "It's authentic. It's charming. It's delicious. That lovely sour sweet note with the heat at the end is a wonderful combination."
"It tastes high caliber. I could have done with a touch more pork because it's flooded with noodles, but the way you cooked it and then caramelized it, it's delicious. Well done."
"The rice noodles have the perfect, perfect texture. There was a lot of work that was done here. That is beautiful."
"You know, the challenge tonight was to come to your house for a dinner party. And this dish, I can feel like I'm in your home because it's authentic with profound flavor and impact."
