Ep 44. The Shocking Judgment! Back in the Palm of Mystical Fairy, Pai!
- June 28, 1998
Now that the judges have savoured every bit of Mao's tofu, Shou An's dish is Three Harmony Tofu. Secret Ingredients: Tofu, meat-flavoured tofu strips and tofu noodles cooked together with a special sauce. The judges also finished every bit of Shou An's dish. It appears that it is now tilting to Shou An's advantage. As the judges emerged from a closed session, they announced the winner: Mao.
What tilted the judges toward Mao's Magic Panda Tofu was universality and originality. While the judges were split over the taste and the cooking techniques of both dishes, one of them recalls eating Shou An's dish at Kikkaro, Pai's restaurant some years back. Hence, Shou An stumbled upon Pai's secret dish without realizing it! No marks for originality there!
Convinced now that he has truly lost, Shou An resorts to blowing up the ship, with everyone on it!!
