Ep. 123: Pertarungan Ultimate VS Supreme: Duel Spaghetti Antara Tim

123

Mariko Niki suggests to Yamaoka that they eat lunch at an Italian restaurant and Kurita decides to join them. When they arrive, they overhear Yūzan Kaibara telling the chef off for serving him unacceptable carbonara. As Kaibara is leaving, he spots Yamaoka and tells him the next round of the Ultimate VS Supreme Menu competition will be about spaghetti dishes. Yamaoka thinks he will adapt spaghetti to Japanese tastes. Kurita disagrees but when Niki says she's being nonconstructive, Kurita becomes upset and leaves. The supreme side presents garlic spaghetti and tomato sauce spaghetti. The ultimate side presents spaghetti with sea urchin eggs and salmon roe and spaghetti with abalone sauce and thin slices of abalone. The supreme side is declared winner because its simple dishes brought out the original deliciousness of the pasta, whereas the dishes of the Ultimate side completely obscured the flavor. After the defeat, a glum Yamaoka asks Kurita to eat dinner with him and says he should have listened to her and that they work best together as a team. (Source: Wikipedia)
