"I enjoy them very much! They were all delicious and way better than the ones I've eaten before." 

Xiu Mei didn't stop there and continued flattering the elderly woman. "Also, I could taste that they all taste very authentic. Did you travel to different Asian countries to perfect these recipes?" 

What she said was a half-truth and half flattery. If we move the elderly woman out of the picture, Xiu Mei greatly enjoyed and appreciated their food.

Her family would often take vacations in different countries so her tongue is already quite familiar with the signature recipes of each country, and after tasting the food here in 'The Paradise', all her words are purely admirations and praises. 

Being able to cook them exactly as it tastes and some foods, even better than the ones she tasted abroad, is really amazing. 

She wanted to genuinely praise the owner, but seeing Mrs.Kim's character, she easily recognized this kind of person.
