Plot
BoBoiBoy and his friends are on their way back to Gaharum's house with two ingredients they have. While BoBoiBoy thinks he'll never learn how to use his Third Tier Powers at that rate, Gopal still refusing to believe Qually's betrayal. Fang blames Gopal for trusting Qually, Yaya only hopes with the two ingredients (the Crystal Salt and Sacred Peppers) they have collected.

As BoBoiBoy wonders what Qually wants all those ingredients for, the gang discovers Qually's spaceship which was already in front of Gaharum's house. Qually tells Gaharum that he has the ingredients that the latter asked for, BoBoiBoy and his friends arrived at Gaharum's house, much to Gaharum's joy as he mistakenly thinks Qually was their friend. However, BoBoiBoy and Qually quarrel while presenting the ingredients to Gaharum. BoBoiBoy has two while Qually has all four. Gaharum decides that BoBoiBoy failed while Qually won. Seeing BoBoiBoy asks for a second chance, Hang Kasa advises Gaharum to hold an Enchanted Tom Yam cooking contest between BoBoiBoy and Qually. After consideration, Gaharum agrees to the proposal and gives three days to prepare. Qually, not pleased with Gaharum's change of heart, asks if he can use all the ingredients collected. Gaharum agrees. BoBoiBoy and his friends discuss ways to make up for the lack of available materials.

At Gaharum's command, BoBoiBoy and Qually put the ingredients they were looking for on the table; found that BoBoiBoy only has two while Qually has three. Gopal mocks Qually for lacking Blue Flame; suddenly Qually took out a Blue Flame flower from his sleeve, causing the BoBoiBoy gang to be upset. Qually explains that he keeps his Blue Flame stash a secret because it only appears once every ten years; Ying cursed Qually's cunning. Gaharum decided that only Qually qualified to study with him. BoBoiBoy pleads to be given another chance because this is the only way to get Timber's power, but Gaharum hesitates. Seeing BoBoiBoy asking for a second chance, Tok Kasa advises Gaharum to hold a Tom Yam Sakti cooking competition between BoBoiBoy and Qually. While making judgments, Gaharum likens BoBoiBoy to King Balakung who is stubborn but never gives up. "Rambutan fruit has a lot of hair, well, I agree!" The BoBoiBoy gang welcomed the decision while Qually was not satisfied because his teacher seemed to have a change of heart. "A sparrow eats rice, that's it!" Gaharum gave three days to prepare. Qually asks if he can use all the materials collected; Gaharum also allowed both parties to use whatever materials could be obtained.

Gopal asks BoBoiBoy where to find ingredients comparable to Qually, and Fang even questions if he is good at cooking tomyam. BoBoiBoy admits he's not smart, while Gopal interrupts and admits he's only good at eating, inviting criticism from Yaya and Ying. BoBoiBoy finds a way and plans to visit Tok Aba on Earth for guidance. Three days later, there was a cooking competition between BoBoiBoy and Qually hosted by Tok Kasa with himself and Gaharum as judges, attended by Gopal, Fang, Yaya and Ying, as well as Rimbara residents such as the Cendawa and Brolangkas Brothers. Tok Kasa's way of presenting himself as the 'most handsome and intelligent' host and judge invited a sarcastic comment from Gopal. The contestants are given 60 minutes to prepare a dish resembling Gaharum's favorite Tomyam Sakti, and whoever serves the best dish will be deemed the winner and receive the requested prize: Gaharum's hereditary recipe book for Qually, or Oakuat seeds for BoBoiBoy to release latent powers.

BoBoiBoy remembers the time he visited Tok Aba before competing. Tok Aba was surprised because his grandson was suddenly interested in learning how to cook tomyam. BoBoiBoy explains that he has to win the competition to gain new powers, but Tok Aba is skeptical. Yaya please plead because the time given is only three days. Tok Aba is hesitant because his family's traditional tomyam cooking is quite complicated, but BoBoiBoy vows that he is ready to learn. "You don't need to cut down the logs, the competition starts now!" Gaharum rang the table bell, and both contestants began to relax while Tok Kasa began to comment. BoBoiBoy split into five into Quake (as leader), Blaze, Thorn, Ice and Thunderstorm, and distributed tasks among themselves, praised by Tok Kasa as a smart and creative strategy. Quake arranges firewood in the kitchen, Ice washes vegetables; Blaze arranged the vegetables on the cooking table, then blew out the stove; Thunderstorm uses the Lightning Knife to chop the ingredients carefully; and Thorn was tasked with preparing water for the gravy. Qually who alone cooks in a simple but agile way, from slicing onions, dicing radishes to splitting coconuts. When Tok Kasa announced that there were only 20 minutes left, BoBoiBoy Gempa started to feel anxious because his side was a bit behind, while Qually had already started to stir up the sauce. Lightning, who was too slow to cut the vegetables, was urged by Quake to speed up and act to perform Lightning Splitting to cut through the remaining ingredients in an instant. Qually peels Blue Flame flowers into the sauce as a seasoning, while BoBoiBoy uses kantan flowers for the same purpose.

Gopal called BoBoiBoy to add salt, so Ice brought a chunk of Holy Salt to the kitchen table to pour into the gravy. Worried that the sauce would be too salty, Quake grabbed the salt from Ice and sprinkled little by little salt into the sauce. Qually covered her pot of soup, releasing a sweet smell that enchanted Gopal until he mistakenly cheered for Qually until he was reprimanded by Ying. With 10 minutes left, Quake tasted the sauce and found it too spicy. Thunderstorm and Thorn come with coconut milk to pour into the sauce. After that, Quake stirs the gravy and worries that his tomyam won't have time. Blaze found that the fire was not strong enough and tried to perform a Fire Breath, but the breath was so strong that the gravy crater was completely covered in flames, making the situation even more alarming. In fact, Qually mocked his opponent's behavior while Fang lamented that the side he supported would lose. Ice tried to save the day by using his Freezing Ice to put out the fire, but it was too much as the crater was completely covered in ice. Quake began to lose the spirit to continue competing. Ochobot opened a teleportal on the competition stage and brought Tok Aba here at Yaya's command.

Tok Aba went to visit his grandson and told him that cooking not only requires knowledge but also patience and high determination. The earthquake showed his frozen cooking, making Tok Aba collapse instantly. Tok Aba explains how he corrects cooking: if it's too salty add water, if it's too spicy add sugar, he even advises that cooking can be done in large groups but the head must be one, like the 'Javanese proverb' that reads "too many cooks spoil the broth." Gopal out of confusion asked since when did Tok Aba knew English.

BoBoiBoy Quake digested Tok Aba's advice and returned to lead his team. There were five minutes left, and Qually began to pour his tomyam into the bowl. Blaze held up his cauldron and melted the ice with Melting Heat. BoBoiBoy fuses again and turns into Elemental Fusion Blaze and Ice, which is BoBoiBoy FrostFire. FrostFire works his cooking with "Frozen Hot Spray, Optimum Heating, Harmonious Mixing," drawing cheers from friends and attendees alike. Tok Kasa also praised the way BoBoiBoy surprised the audience with the optimal and efficient use of power. In the last minute, FrostFire managed to sprinkle coriander leaves as a decoration for the tomyam dish. Time is up, and both contestants present their work to the judges. Qually presents Tomyam Galaksi, which is four main ingredients combined in one dish that is "guaranteed to fly to the stars". After tasting, Tok Kasa attests to the deliciousness of Qually's work while Gaharum comments that Qually has successfully combined the ingredients to produce "quite complex and detailed flavors." After Qually thanked and left, suddenly Gaharum spoke as if there was a shortage. It was BoBoiBoy's turn to present Tomyam Fusion Tok Aba to the judges.

After tasting it, Tok Kasa comments that the tomyam looks simple but can hold its flavor, while Gaharum asks where BoBoiBoy learned to cook it. BoBoiBoy proudly replied that it was a family recipe passed down through generations. Gaharum praises BoBoiBoy's cooking as "quite unique" tomyam and has never tasted anything like this. BoBoiBoy thanked him with a chuckle and left. After a long discussion, Gaharum and Tok Kasa appeared to announce the results of the competition. "Strawberry langsat fruit, the result is a draw!" The decision shocked the whole hall. BoBoiBoy was also confused, even Qually was disappointed because he thought that meant he failed. Gaharum made it clear that a tie was not a sign of failure, then he mixed the two tomyam into one: "Betel leaves and curry leaves, this is the tomyam I'm looking for!" His comment is that both tomyam have their own shortcomings but when combined they become perfect.

Gaharum congratulated both participants and presented their respective rewards. Qually accepts her teacher's recipe book and vows to learn all the recipes it contains to achieve her ambition. BoBoiBoy received Oakuat seeds and was ordered to be planted and well cared for. Qually shakes hands and makes up with BoBoiBoy, but is given a cold look by Gopal. "Tomyam Sakti given the name, you two seem compatible." Tok Kasa suggested that Qually join TAPOPS as a cook for BoBoiBoy's team, and Qually agreed. Qually apologizes to BoBoiBoy and friends for his past actions and admits that he was too ambitious to use them for his own benefit. Gopal is still reluctant and even scolds Qually for causing damage to Fang's spaceship even though it was already "bad and bad", drawing criticism from Fang. Ying forgives Qually because he and BoBoiBoy managed to claim what they were looking for. Qually is grateful to have inherited the treasured recipe book and plans to cook a "Galaxy Special Fried Rice" for them, complete with two buffalo eye eggs. Just hearing about the food finally makes Gopal willing to forgive Qually and invite him to cook lunch, but Tok Kasa interrupts to invite them to a tomyam feast. So BoBoiBoy and Qually served their combined tomyam to the audience to enjoy.
