0:00:02 > 0:00:07# Every day you walk down the street Everybody that you meet
0:00:07 > 0:00:11# Has an original point of view
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- # And I say, hey!- Hey!
0:00:13 > 0:00:18# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play
0:00:18 > 0:00:20# And get along with each other
0:00:20 > 0:00:24# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:24 > 0:00:30# Listen to the rhythm of the street Open your eyes! Open your ears!
0:00:30 > 0:00:34# Get together, make things better By working together
0:00:34 > 0:00:38# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:00:38 > 0:00:43# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start
0:00:43 > 0:00:48- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:48 > 0:00:53# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other
0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey, DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Hey!- Whoa-a...!
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm DW, and this is going to be the best show you've ever seen.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- Know why? Because Arthur's letting me do the show opener.- Cut! DW!
0:01:19 > 0:01:25- Look right at the camera - make contact with the viewers.- OK, OK!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Show opener, take two.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Hello, my name's DW. I'm opening the show today and...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Cut! This isn't working.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38We need a different setting - someplace more exciting and scenic,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41like...the ocean.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- Hello, everyone...- Cut! Too much motion. We need something as scenic
0:01:48 > 0:01:51but not as distracting, like...
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I know! Outer space.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- He...- Cut! This isn't right either. It's too...
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Listen, Arthur, you said you were gonna let me do this myself.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Now let me do it!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Hello, and welcome to our show.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11- My name is...- Cut! That was actually great, DW, but we're out of time.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Nice job, though.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19ALL GASP
0:02:20 > 0:02:23You kids are so lucky.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- This is one contest I wish- I- could enter.- Chef Ming Tsai is coming
0:02:28 > 0:02:31to judge the kids' cooking contest? Who's Ming Tsai?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34He's the host of Simply Ming on TV.
0:02:34 > 0:02:40And the judge is Ming Tsai? Arthur, this is huge!
0:02:40 > 0:02:45What shall we make for this contest? Cheese straws? No, too festive.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Brie en croute. Too conservative. - The contest is for kids, Dad.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Good. Then we should make oobleck. I learned a recipe at school.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59People don't eat oobleck, DW. And I know what I want to make -
0:02:59 > 0:03:01chocolate cake.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I love chocolate cake.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08I have a recipe for chocolate brandy cake with roasted hazelnut filling.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13I just want a simple chocolate cake. And I want to make it with no help.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16You'll need help with the stove, and I'm busy.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- So it'll have to be Dad. - Don't worry, Arthur.
0:03:20 > 0:03:26I'll stick to stove help only. Oh, here! Classic chocolate cake.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28This is a fantastic recipe.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Doing it by myself includes choosing the recipe.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- Oh, hi, you guys. Researching recipes?- Getting hungry, you mean!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- What are those?- Just some information cards I laminated.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Information cards?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52The recipe I chose is rendang, which means water buffalo stew.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55It comes from the Minangkabau tribe in Indonesia,
0:03:55 > 0:04:00so I'll provide Ming with facts about their cooking practices.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04See you guys. I've got to get home and start working on my costume.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- Costume?!- I wouldn't feel right serving rendang without native dress.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Don't worry. You don't need a costume for a great chocolate cake.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Hey, Brains, what's in the bags? - Just a few things
0:04:20 > 0:04:23for my hydroponic greenhouse. Wanna see it?
0:04:23 > 0:04:29I transformed my parents' greenhouse into this full hydroponics system.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Wow!- Wow! - The success of my berry tart
0:04:32 > 0:04:37for the contest depends on the quality of the ingredients.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41It was imperative to cultivate the sweetest berries.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46I need to do something that makes my chocolate cake really special.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Good idea. A great chef always has a signature -
0:04:50 > 0:04:53something that makes his recipe unique.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Mm! Delissimo!
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- You know what I think it needs a little more of? Sugar...- No!
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- Nothing makes a cake taste less sophisticated than extra sugar.- Dad!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12But I'm just trying to...help.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18- How about more extra-dark chocolate? - Good idea.- What do you think?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- How come he gets to give advice? - He's a kid, Dad.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26OK. But may I please offer you one small yet crucial piece of advice
0:05:26 > 0:05:29about chocolate cake?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33It's good to go off-recipe and experiment a bit.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41But there is one ingredient you absolutely must use properly
0:05:41 > 0:05:45to make a successful chocolate cake - baking powder.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Got it - baking powder.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Mm! I've found my signature ingredient -
0:05:53 > 0:05:56an extra amount of extra-dark chocolate.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01I have to go to the art room to see if the glue on my headdress is dry.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I hope Ming Tsai is nice. - I wouldn't count on it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Ming Tsai was voted one of the 50 most beautiful people
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- in Famous Faces magazine.- So?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15So he's not only famous, he's glamorous.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20What if my quiche Lorraine doesn't have enough glamour?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24He won't judge the quiche on its glamour. It wouldn't be fair.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Have you seen those TV judges? They're never fair.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37I have to say, Muffy, that bite of quiche was a waste of tastebuds
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- and saliva.- Ming! You awful brute!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44How can you say that about Muffy's quiche?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Muffy, your quiche Lorraine was delicious.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It was abom-i-trocious, an absolute disgrace!
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Muffy should be forbidden from cooking ever again.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59But I didn't even make this quiche! My cook did.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03He probably has impossibly high standards.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07I bet he takes cooking really seriously.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Making a chocolate cake - in the left cooking ring,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14we have dessert chef Arthur Reed.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Making his famous stir-fried butterfly shrimp with syrup
0:07:18 > 0:07:21is the renowned Ming Tsai!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Chefs, take your positions.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27On your marks, get set...go!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43AUDIENCE GASPS
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Ten seconds, ladies and gentlemen!
0:07:46 > 0:07:52We have a winner! Ming Tsai prepared a full gourmet meal in ten seconds!
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Well, at least Ming Tsai is going to be the judge,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00not a contestant.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04# And Ming Tsai says DW's the winner
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- # DW's oobleck is the best recipe in all the land... #- Where's Arthur?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14What are you doing, Arthur?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16This is your last day to practise.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21I'll set my alarm to wake up early to make the cake. Today I'm resting,
0:08:21 > 0:08:26- like a boxer does before a big match.- OK, champ. You'll be great.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29ALARM BEEPS
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Butter, eggs,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36sugar, extra dark chocolate,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38baking powder... Oh!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Dad! Dad!- Wh-what?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46DW used up all the baking powder yesterday -
0:08:46 > 0:08:52the most important ingredient in a chocolate cake! It's an emergency!
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Oh! I have baking powder in my catering supplies.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- On the shelf in the garage?- In a silver canister marked baking powder.
0:09:00 > 0:09:06Be sure not to take the canister marked baking SODA.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Oh, no! It's...flat!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Aa-aargh!
0:09:34 > 0:09:40Well, don't feel that bad, Arthur. I mean, look at my frozen fruit pop -
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- it's melting. - At least you have an entry.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Hurry up! Ming is already here. He's really nice.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Even though he's famous, he's friendly.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55I wonder if he's friendly to kids whose cooking creations are a flop?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59And if you refer to fact 10b on your information card,
0:09:59 > 0:10:03you'll see that the spoon you are using was chiselled by hand
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- by an old woman from the Minangkabau tribe.- A thorough presentation.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- And the water buffalo stew... - The rendang.- Yes, the rendang.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14It's delicious.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- HAMMERING AT DOOR - Wait! The contest must be stopped!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Wait!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Dad, how many times do I have to tell you?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25This is a kids' contest!
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- Arthur, you made a fantastic batch of brownies!- Brownies?!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Mr Tsai...- Call me Ming, please.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37- It looks like you made some wonderful brownies, Arthur.- I did?!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Ming, my son was aiming to bake a cake,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44but by accident he used baking soda instead of baking powder...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46That's why they were flat?
0:10:46 > 0:10:51I thought I'd made a huge mistake, so I didn't even bring them in.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Your mistake looks good to me. Let me tell you,
0:10:54 > 0:10:59some of the best recipes started out as mistakes.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03A long time ago, in ancient China, the emperor's cook
0:11:03 > 0:11:07was preparing a dinner of dumplings. But he made a mistake.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11He didn't watch the pot, and all the water boiled off.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Aagh!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- What is it? - The dumplings are stuck to the pot.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19The emperor is ready to eat now.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Quick, I will put the dumplings on a plate for him.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27But I will be severely punished when he sees my mistake.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- These dumplings are shrivelled and brown!- Your Majesty,
0:11:35 > 0:11:40may I present you with a new recipe from the kitchen, called, um...
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- pot-stickers.- Hmm! Delicious!
0:11:44 > 0:11:50From now on, I declare that all my dumplings shall be pot-stickers.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54That's how pot-stickers were invented - from a mistake.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Except the emperor thought the pot-stickers were delicious.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01And so are your brownies - delicious.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04So, Ming, who's the winner?
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Well, Sue Ellen, the ultimate grand prize-winner is...me!
0:12:09 > 0:12:12KIDS: Hey! That's not fair!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Do you know why I'm the winner?
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Cos I get to eat this wonderful food you all worked so hard to prepare.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Wanna be winners too?- Oh, yes!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Dig in!
