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

Wok Stars Episode 7

The Wok Stars series is clearly getting more exciting, as the cooks demonstrate their improving cooking abilities as well as their creativity.

**Warning: Spoiler Alert**

Episode 7 of Wok Stars began at the JEM Koufu foodcourt, where the challenge was to be a hawker's apprentice for a day and handle lunch service.  To me this was very thought-out, as the cooks got to practice being the real deal and at the same time get experience from established chefs in the business.  Viewers also got the benefit of catching a glimpse into the work that goes into preparing food in the different stalls.  It was really interesting to learn that there were three pots to cook fishballs which cooks have to juggle during service, and to watch the techniques involved in braising chicken :) :)
