Spring Onion

Fresh, Crunchy and Tasty, like a healthy version of pop corn 

I never knew how spring onions were grown until recently.  I was whining to my colleague about how anytime i wanted spring onion, i had to buy one whole bag from the supermarket.  I would end up with 6 or 7 big stalks when 1 would be more than enough.  It was not a very good use of my $0.80.

Imagine my surprise when she said that she planted her own spring onion, and this can be easily done by planting shallots (also called scallions)!

Wok Stars Episode 10 - Grand Finale

After episode 9 which turned out to be just a prelude, its finally time for the grand, grand, final finale, for the final cook-off between Kenneth and KS.  

The final episode started with the camera crew catching the contestants at home on the day of the final cook-off.  Kenneth was shown demonstrating his awesome Microsoft Office skills, having planned out his steps to finish 30 minutes ahead of time.  He also shared that he was out to prove that CIA graduates trained in Singapore could cook good food, in an effort to show that the local US-trained intelligence community could do more than just cook up stories about Mas Selamat.

KS was shown mumbling repeatedly about wanting to beat Kenneth, having invested in a canning machine and a donkey's butt to later open a can of whoop-ass over the walking CIA apron.  He then proceeded to make himself breakfast and left home without finishing it.  It must have been pretty alarming for KS fans because 1. there was still no list, 2. he didnt finish his breakfast, which could mean that the food maybe didnt taste too good, or he had stolen a bite of the donkey butt.
You can tell that he is a Willin Low fanboy from the cap
