0:00:110:00:13

# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play

0:00:130:00:18

# And get along with each other

0:00:180:00:20

# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat

0:00:200:00:24

# Listen to the rhythm of the street Open your eyes! Open your ears!

0:00:240:00:30

# Get together, make things better By working together

0:00:300:00:34

# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

0:00:340:00:38

# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:00:380:00:43

-# And I say, hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

0:00:430:00:48

# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:00:480:00:53

# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #

0:00:530:00:59

Hey, DW!

0:00:590:01:01

-Hey!

-Whoa-a...!

0:01:020:01:06

Hi, I'm DW, and this is going to be the best show you've ever seen.

0:01:090:01:14

-Know why? Because Arthur's letting me do the show opener.

-Cut! DW!

0:01:140:01:19

-Look right at the camera - make contact with the viewers.

-OK, OK!

0:01:190:01:25

Show opener, take two.

0:01:250:01:27

Hello, my name's DW. I'm opening the show today and...

0:01:270:01:31

Cut! This isn't working.

0:01:310:01:33

We need a different setting - someplace more exciting and scenic,

0:01:330:01:38

like...the ocean.

0:01:380:01:41

-Hello, everyone...

-Cut! Too much motion. We need something as scenic

0:01:430:01:48

but not as distracting, like...

0:01:480:01:51

I know! Outer space.

0:01:510:01:53

-He...

-Cut! This isn't right either. It's too...

0:01:530:01:57

Listen, Arthur, you said you were gonna let me do this myself.

0:01:570:02:01

Now let me do it!

0:02:010:02:03

Hello, and welcome to our show.

0:02:030:02:06

-My name is...

-Cut! That was actually great, DW, but we're out of time.

0:02:060:02:11

Nice job, though.

0:02:110:02:13

ALL GASP

0:02:170:02:19

You kids are so lucky.

0:02:200:02:23

-This is one contest I wish

-I

-could enter.

-Chef Ming Tsai is coming

0:02:230:02:28

to judge the kids' cooking contest? Who's Ming Tsai?

0:02:280:02:31

He's the host of Simply Ming on TV.

0:02:310:02:34

And the judge is Ming Tsai? Arthur, this is huge!

0:02:340:02:40

What shall we make for this contest? Cheese straws? No, too festive.

0:02:400:02:45

-Brie en croute. Too conservative.

-The contest is for kids, Dad.

0:02:450:02:49

Good. Then we should make oobleck. I learned a recipe at school.

0:02:490:02:54

People don't eat oobleck, DW. And I know what I want to make -

0:02:540:02:59

chocolate cake.

0:02:590:03:01

I love chocolate cake.

0:03:010:03:03

I have a recipe for chocolate brandy cake with roasted hazelnut filling.

0:03:030:03:08

I just want a simple chocolate cake. And I want to make it with no help.

0:03:080:03:13

You'll need help with the stove, and I'm busy.

0:03:130:03:16

-So it'll have to be Dad.

-Don't worry, Arthur.

0:03:160:03:20

I'll stick to stove help only. Oh, here! Classic chocolate cake.

0:03:200:03:26

This is a fantastic recipe.

0:03:260:03:28

Doing it by myself includes choosing the recipe.

0:03:280:03:32

-Oh, hi, you guys. Researching recipes?

-Getting hungry, you mean!

0:03:360:03:41

-What are those?

-Just some information cards I laminated.

0:03:410:03:45

Information cards?

0:03:450:03:47

The recipe I chose is rendang, which means water buffalo stew.

0:03:470:03:52

It comes from the Minangkabau tribe in Indonesia,

0:03:520:03:55

so I'll provide Ming with facts about their cooking practices.

0:03:550:04:00

See you guys. I've got to get home and start working on my costume.

0:04:000:04:04

-Costume?!

-I wouldn't feel right serving rendang without native dress.

0:04:040:04:09

Don't worry. You don't need a costume for a great chocolate cake.

0:04:110:04:16

-Hey, Brains, what's in the bags?

-Just a few things

0:04:160:04:20

for my hydroponic greenhouse. Wanna see it?

0:04:200:04:23

I transformed my parents' greenhouse into this full hydroponics system.

0:04:230:04:29

-Wow!

-Wow!

-The success of my berry tart

0:04:290:04:32

for the contest depends on the quality of the ingredients.

0:04:320:04:37

It was imperative to cultivate the sweetest berries.

0:04:370:04:41

I need to do something that makes my chocolate cake really special.

0:04:410:04:46

Good idea. A great chef always has a signature -

0:04:460:04:50

something that makes his recipe unique.

0:04:500:04:53

Mm! Delissimo!

0:04:560:04:58

-You know what I think it needs a little more of? Sugar...

-No!

0:04:580:05:03

-Nothing makes a cake taste less sophisticated than extra sugar.

-Dad!

0:05:030:05:08

But I'm just trying to...help.

0:05:080:05:12

-How about more extra-dark chocolate?

-Good idea.

-What do you think?

0:05:120:05:18

-How come he gets to give advice?

-He's a kid, Dad.

0:05:180:05:22

OK. But may I please offer you one small yet crucial piece of advice

0:05:220:05:26

about chocolate cake?

0:05:260:05:29

It's good to go off-recipe and experiment a bit.

0:05:290:05:33

But there is one ingredient you absolutely must use properly

0:05:370:05:41

to make a successful chocolate cake - baking powder.

0:05:410:05:45

Got it - baking powder.

0:05:450:05:48

Mm! I've found my signature ingredient -

0:05:490:05:53

an extra amount of extra-dark chocolate.

0:05:530:05:56

I have to go to the art room to see if the glue on my headdress is dry.

0:05:560:06:01

-I hope Ming Tsai is nice.

-I wouldn't count on it.

0:06:010:06:05

Ming Tsai was voted one of the 50 most beautiful people

0:06:050:06:09

-in Famous Faces magazine.

-So?

0:06:090:06:11

So he's not only famous, he's glamorous.

0:06:110:06:15

What if my quiche Lorraine doesn't have enough glamour?

0:06:150:06:20

He won't judge the quiche on its glamour. It wouldn't be fair.

0:06:200:06:24

Have you seen those TV judges? They're never fair.

0:06:240:06:28

I have to say, Muffy, that bite of quiche was a waste of tastebuds

0:06:320:06:37

-and saliva.

-Ming! You awful brute!

0:06:370:06:41

How can you say that about Muffy's quiche?

0:06:410:06:44

Muffy, your quiche Lorraine was delicious.

0:06:440:06:48

It was abom-i-trocious, an absolute disgrace!

0:06:480:06:51

Muffy should be forbidden from cooking ever again.

0:06:510:06:55

But I didn't even make this quiche! My cook did.

0:06:550:06:59

He probably has impossibly high standards.

0:07:000:07:03

I bet he takes cooking really seriously.

0:07:030:07:07

Making a chocolate cake - in the left cooking ring,

0:07:070:07:11

we have dessert chef Arthur Reed.

0:07:110:07:14

Making his famous stir-fried butterfly shrimp with syrup

0:07:140:07:18

is the renowned Ming Tsai!

0:07:180:07:21

Chefs, take your positions.

0:07:210:07:24

On your marks, get set...go!

0:07:240:07:27

AUDIENCE GASPS

0:07:400:07:43

Ten seconds, ladies and gentlemen!

0:07:430:07:46

We have a winner! Ming Tsai prepared a full gourmet meal in ten seconds!

0:07:460:07:52

Well, at least Ming Tsai is going to be the judge,

0:07:540:07:58

not a contestant.

0:07:580:08:00

# And Ming Tsai says DW's the winner

0:08:000:08:04

-# DW's oobleck is the best recipe in all the land... #

-Where's Arthur?

0:08:040:08:09

What are you doing, Arthur?

0:08:120:08:14

This is your last day to practise.

0:08:140:08:16

I'll set my alarm to wake up early to make the cake. Today I'm resting,

0:08:160:08:21

-like a boxer does before a big match.

-OK, champ. You'll be great.

0:08:210:08:26

ALARM BEEPS

0:08:260:08:29

Butter, eggs,

0:08:320:08:33

sugar, extra dark chocolate,

0:08:330:08:36

baking powder... Oh!

0:08:360:08:38

-Dad! Dad!

-Wh-what?

0:08:400:08:43

DW used up all the baking powder yesterday -

0:08:430:08:46

the most important ingredient in a chocolate cake! It's an emergency!

0:08:460:08:52

Oh! I have baking powder in my catering supplies.

0:08:520:08:56

-On the shelf in the garage?

-In a silver canister marked baking powder.

0:08:560:09:00

Be sure not to take the canister marked baking SODA.

0:09:000:09:06

Oh, no! It's...flat!

0:09:280:09:31

Aa-aargh!

0:09:310:09:34

Well, don't feel that bad, Arthur. I mean, look at my frozen fruit pop -

0:09:340:09:40

-it's melting.

-At least you have an entry.

0:09:400:09:43

Hurry up! Ming is already here. He's really nice.

0:09:430:09:47

Even though he's famous, he's friendly.

0:09:470:09:50

I wonder if he's friendly to kids whose cooking creations are a flop?

0:09:500:09:55

And if you refer to fact 10b on your information card,

0:09:550:09:59

you'll see that the spoon you are using was chiselled by hand

0:09:590:10:03

-by an old woman from the Minangkabau tribe.

-A thorough presentation.

0:10:030:10:08

-And the water buffalo stew...

-The rendang.

-Yes, the rendang.

0:10:080:10:13

It's delicious.

0:10:130:10:14

-HAMMERING AT DOOR

-Wait! The contest must be stopped!

0:10:140:10:18

Wait!

0:10:180:10:20

Dad, how many times do I have to tell you?

0:10:200:10:23

This is a kids' contest!

0:10:230:10:25

-Arthur, you made a fantastic batch of brownies!

-Brownies?!

0:10:250:10:30

-Mr Tsai...

-Call me Ming, please.

0:10:300:10:32

-It looks like you made some wonderful brownies, Arthur.

-I did?!

0:10:320:10:37

Ming, my son was aiming to bake a cake,

0:10:370:10:40

but by accident he used baking soda instead of baking powder...

0:10:400:10:44

That's why they were flat?

0:10:440:10:46

I thought I'd made a huge mistake, so I didn't even bring them in.

0:10:460:10:51

Your mistake looks good to me. Let me tell you,

0:10:510:10:54

some of the best recipes started out as mistakes.

0:10:540:10:59

A long time ago, in ancient China, the emperor's cook

0:10:590:11:03

was preparing a dinner of dumplings. But he made a mistake.

0:11:030:11:07

He didn't watch the pot, and all the water boiled off.

0:11:070:11:11

Aagh!

0:11:110:11:13

-What is it?

-The dumplings are stuck to the pot.

0:11:130:11:16

The emperor is ready to eat now.

0:11:160:11:19

Quick, I will put the dumplings on a plate for him.

0:11:190:11:23

But I will be severely punished when he sees my mistake.

0:11:230:11:27

-These dumplings are shrivelled and brown!

-Your Majesty,

0:11:310:11:35

may I present you with a new recipe from the kitchen, called, um...

0:11:350:11:40

-pot-stickers.

-Hmm! Delicious!

0:11:400:11:44

From now on, I declare that all my dumplings shall be pot-stickers.

0:11:440:11:50

That's how pot-stickers were invented - from a mistake.

0:11:500:11:54

Except the emperor thought the pot-stickers were delicious.

0:11:540:11:58

And so are your brownies - delicious.

0:11:580:12:01

So, Ming, who's the winner?

0:12:010:12:04

Well, Sue Ellen, the ultimate grand prize-winner is...me!

0:12:040:12:09

KIDS: Hey! That's not fair!

0:12:090:12:12

Do you know why I'm the winner?

0:12:120:12:14

Cos I get to eat this wonderful food you all worked so hard to prepare.

0:12:140:12:19

-Wanna be winners too?

-Oh, yes!
