191025 Park Bom is going to be featured in MC Mong’s New title track “CHANNEL” for his 8th full album, ‘Channel 8’ Today at 6PM KST

MC Mong talked about Park Bom, who featured in “Chanel,” saying, “We had no connection, and I didn’t have her phone number. I’ve never met her either. Since the beginning of this song, I wanted Park Bom to sing it. I found out the contact information of her agency CEO and contacted him. I asked him if he could listen to this song once. The next day I received a call. I was told that she liked the song and wanted to take part in it. I felt really good.”

He added, “She came to the recording studio at night and finished recording it in three or four tries. As time went by, her voice matured, and I felt the nostalgia of old times, so I was grateful to her for that.”

سيتم الإفراج عن تعاون بارك بوم مع ام سي مونغ لـ أغنيته CHANNEL من أجل ألبومه الجديد Channel 8 اليوم في تمام الساعة ١٢ مساء بتوقيت السعودية

تحدثت ام سي مونغ عن بارك بوم ، التي ظهرت في أغنيته"Chanel" ، قائلاً: "لم يكن بيننا اي اتصال ، ولم يكن لدي رقم هاتفها. و لم أقابلها أبدًا. منذ بداية هذه الأغنية ، أردت أن تغنيها بارك بوم. لقد حصلت على معلومات الاتصال الخاصة بـ المدير التنفيذي لوكالتها واتصلت به. و سألته إذا كان بإمكانه الاستماع إلى هذه الأغنية مرة واحدة. و في اليوم التالي تلقيت مكالمة. قيل لي إنها أحبت الأغنية وأرادت المشاركة فيها. شعرت حقا بشعور جيد. "

Just a heads up for any one who gets the Mediacorp Channel 8 broadcast! (Probably Singaporeans and Malaysians)

I’ll be (my hands, rather), on the kids show 开课咯！(Apes Love Hypercraft) making molecular gastronomy goodies this Sunday 31 Dec 10am on Channel 8. It’s in mandarin but I think there should be subtitles.

Basically, the director found out that I could cook, so an additional scope was added to my job (*⁰▿⁰*). I’ll post the online link after it airs!

Edit: (because tumblr won’t let me put pics in reblogs)

This is the link to watch it legally online! https://video.toggle.sg/en/video/series/apes-love-hypercraft/ep5/558085 . My segment is the first one after the opening titles, so about 00:30-05:15.

Unfortunately, due to licensing issues, it might not work in some countries. :( And I can’t find the button to turn on subs on the online player, so be warned that it’s in Mandarin.

So, I made gifs!

Hey look, now you know how to write ‘Molecular Gastronomy’ in Mandarin, even if you don’t know how to read it. (Fen4 Zi3 Liao4 Li3)

I did the usual spherification:

Putting honey sodium alginate into the calcium chloride mixture. This was Souma’s method (from Shokugeki no Souma) , but the cons of this method is that the balls will keep solidifying, so you have to serve it quickly after it’s made...

... so that it explodes in your mouth well.

And then I did reverse spherification by putting something with naturally occuring calcium (a yoghurt-heavy cream mix) into a sodium alginate bath...

... which also explodes, but more like lava.

Then, for the final pièce de résistance, I made an egg with regular spherification for the ‘yolk’ (Made of mango juice)

“I have to stir again?!?!” Most of the shooting day was taken up by stirring, really.

The egg white was made with the same yoghurt mix.

How to tell it’s me and not some imposter: insanely short thumbs

The explosion shot didn’t look that nice, so I gif-ed the part of me squirting ‘soy sauce’ a.k.a. chocolate sauce on it:

“Sweet Sunny Side-Up Egg”.

Of course, there’s the mandatory “eating part” (spherified noodles). (I’m not the person behind the big ape head. XD)

I also made them credit me as @onionchoppingninja, the ‘Molecular Gastronomy Consultant’ XD. (I’m also credited elsewhere, but that’s a secret. :D)

To benefit those hit hardest by the pandemic, Laura most recently performed her new single, “Starlight” on an NBC-affiliated television station (KGW CH8) during the livestream event, “Together We Thrive: A Virtual Fundraiser for Oregonians,” which raised over $30,000 for four local charities (2020).
