Chapter 951:

The table was lined with small plates—one filled with pure crab roe, another with roe stir-fried alongside tender crab meat, and several others containing different preparations of crab. The presentation was exquisite.

Carrie picked up her fork, lifted a portion of noodles, and took a bite. The moment it touched her tongue, the deep umami of crab roe blended with the sweetness of the fresh crab meat, spreading across her taste buds. The seasoning was minimal, allowing the natural flavors to shine.

The noodles themselves were fresh, handmade, and perfectly chewy. After the initial burst of crab roe, the delicate wheat fragrance of the noodles followed, creating a well-balanced taste.
