- "Mung Daal's biggest failure, the Won Ton Bombs"
- -Lo Mein
Lo Mein is Mung Daal's former cooking master. He reunites with his former apprentice after Truffles and Chowder find him out on the street telling embarrassing stories about Mung Daal.
Appearance
Lo Mein is a short, elderly humanoid with green skin, white, Sun Tzu style facial hair and bushy eyebrows. He has crows feet, mouth wrinkles and a large nose. When he was younger, he had a similar appearance, only with blue hair and a trimmed mustache and eyebrows.
He wears a dragon-patterned, air-force blue onesie with a shamrock shaped headpiece with a hole in the middle to accommodate his head. He wears magenta spectacles.
Relationship With Mung Daal
Prior to being retconned in a flashback by adult Mung Daal (With the help of Chowder), Lo Mein had a poor impression of Mung's abilities as a chef after he used the wrong ingredients during the preparation of Won Ton Bombs, which caused everyone who ate it to develop food poisoning and, as a symptom, explosive diarrhea. From then on, Lo Mein went on to regard Mung as a failure and tell the citizens of Marzipan City stories of Mung's shortcomings as a chef's apprentice. He takes great delight in sharing these stories and has a possible hatred/animosity towards Mung.
After Mung and Chowder replace the disgusting Won Ton Bombs in the flashback, Lo Mein's opinion of Mung shifts, regarding him as "the greatest chef who ever lived."
Lo Mein has an authoritarian teaching style, focusing on discipline and strict punishments, claiming that he trained Mung "like a dog". Some methods Lo Mein uses, particularly on an elderly Mung, include hitting him with a cane and spraying him with a spray bottle.
