Compared to the diverse characteristics of the new towns in the Holy Alliance, High Castle City, despite its long history, seems quite ordinary through the eyes of someone like Alexei who has seen many similar cities.
Narrow alleys, streets overflowing with sewage, old restaurants, and sharp-tongued housewives.
Contrarily, the cuisine of High Castle City provided many surprises to both Alexei and Taiomir.
The manager of Grace Market had somehow invited an authentic Falan chef and experienced an abundance of novel ingredients from Black Snake Bay.
This chef even developed three entirely new sauces based on Falan's oil and noodle sauce.
Brown sauce made from beef broth and black pepper, white sauce made from milk and butter, and red sauce made from Black Snake Bay's purple egg juice.
The three sauces had complex layers; some tasted odd, while others were unexpectedly delicious.
