This short film follows two children who work as young chefs in Taiwan and they learn to make the traditional Hakka cuisine, which they transform into creative cuisine. The preserved radish egg is a common homemade dish for the Hakka people. In order to create the best "Preserved radish egg", young chef, Black Cat, decides to add some chocolate to it! However, the young chefs are not skillful enough and they turn it into a real dark cuisine. That's what this show is all about. With persistence, Chef Black Cat keeps trying and turns the dish into a Japanese omelet of a Hakka kid.
If you enjoy cooking shows, you will definitely resonate with this one. Watching these Taiwanese chefs and judges in action is really interesting and fun. Cooking is definitely an art form, especially when you look at it in the way this show does. This show is formatted in a game show format with an energetic host, a group of contestants and judges. The host is definitely full of energy with an almost over the top kind of presentation. The young contestants appear to be tweens and young teens. It has fun content and shows us great details as the contestants create their culinary creations. The cinematography is very good, with terrific close-up shots of the food and contestants in action. The game show set is bright and fun. The studio kitchen is bright and clean and we view it from a variety of camera angles. The transitions between scenes are also fun and colorful. The background music fits the show and is non-distractive. Because this short is a TV food show, it is pretty predictable -- I really enjoyed learning more about the young chefs -- their creative spirit is very inspiring.
The film's message is about how young people are perfectly capable of cooking food in a creative way. The dialogue of this film is in Chinese with English subtitles.
I give Crazy Kids Kitchen 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18. By Xiangxi K., KIDS FIRST!
