Now we have a four boy Top 4 – Aaron, Casper, Petro & Vinnie.   On Sunday, we have Meghan Markle, Duchess Of Sussex in the MasterChef kitchen with judges Jean-Christophe Novelli, Poh Ling Yeow & Sofia Levin. The fourth judge Andy Allen is absent from the photo (and he was…   Read more»

Sadly, the contestant who was Eliminated was Annabel, so Bye Annabel!

The contestant whose dish least resembles Poh’s trio of snacks would be sent home.      All of Aaron’s dishes were perfect and flawless. He had Top Dish(es).     Petro’s Kuih Lapi was missing layers and some of the layers that were present were raw inside….   Read more»

They had to recreate Poh’s Spiral Curry Puff, Kuih Lapis (multi-layered rainbow coloured steamed dessert) & Kuih Koci (banana leaf-wrapped rice flour and palm sugar-pandan-coconut dumplings).

So happy the Thundercats site is back. 😀 

Tomorrow night’s Pressure Test Elimination is set by Poh whose theme is Malaysian Snacks! 
 
Aaron, Annabel, Casper & Petro will have a gargantuan task ahead of them if they want to avoid going home. Soon the Top 5 will become the Top 4!

There were several flaws from the quintet, from burned eggplant, undercooked lamb, scarcity of beans, forgetting the capers and sauce that was not reduced or seasoned enough.    However, the best version of the dish was made by Vinnie who won Immunity for the second time…   Read more»

The contestants had to recreate one of Andy’s signature dishes (BBQ Lamb, Confit Garlic, Caramelised Eggplant Cream & Braised Borlotti Beans). They had no recipe and didn’t even know what the dish looked or tasted like. They just had to follow everything Andy did and try to keep…   Read more»

Tonight on MasterChef, the Top 5 (Aaron, Annabel, Casper, Petro & Vinnie) had to Keep Up With Judge Andy Allen!

I wish Winter wasn’t two-thirds over.

It was Luke who ended up impressing the judges the least so he was Eliminated. Bye Luke!

Luke – Spiced Lamb Rack, Roasted Figs, Radicchio & Orange Espagnole. The sauce was too sweet and there was a massive hunk of fat on the lamb that he neglected which ruined the eating experience.  Screenshot-2026-07-20-20.57.41.png

Casper – Cod Veloute, Fennel Puree & Zucchini Salad. Unlike Annabel’s fish, the char on Casper’s fish overpowered everything else and the sauce was unbalanced with flavours that did not combine well.

Petro – Espagnole Duck, Celeriac Puree & Figs

Tonight on MasterChef, Judge Jean-Christophe set the Elimination Challenge which was all about French Sauces.

Both of these dishes were perfect. One dish had just a bit more depth of flavour and that made all the difference. The winner of the Immunity from tomorrow was Vinnie! Congratulations to Vinnie who is automatically the first contestant in the Top 5.   Also coming up this week – Jean-Christophe’s Sauces…   Read more»
