Masterchef Malaysia

I think this would be the last post on my Masterchef Blogger experience cuz after this we should all put our eyes on CH104 Astro Ria for Masterchef Malaysia! Don't forget people! It's at 9pm and it starts on 22nd October!!!

We had the exact same type of challenge we had during Semi-finals which is mystery box challenge and skill test. But this time the Mystery Box Challenge was prolonged to 1 hour.

As you can see in my previous post, the Mystery Box contains two avocados while the skill test was chopping onions. We were given 10 minutes to chop. The judges in this test will evaluate the fineness of the chopped onions and also the quantity. I managed to only chop one T_T And at this particular test 6 participants was injured!I myself cut my thumb nail without realising it!Lol

And then we have three distinguished judges which are Mr KY Speaks (a renown Blogger), Mr Raqim Ahmad (Astro Brand Manager) and Chef Kerlley Bong (an experienced chef graduated from La Cordon Bleu, France).

Then I met bloggers from the semi-final round again

This is Kak Yati from Sawanila.com She made poached egg that we had learn previously. I think cooking skills are running through her blood and veins by genes because her little sister joined this competition too!

Then I met Kak Mimi. But we just bumped into each other twice. First is on my way back from the toilet (she was on her way to the toilet of course). Second is when I finished praying and she just entered the Surau.Haha!

I also met the famous Falihin. He made sushi out of the mystery box challenge! What an idea huh?But he still owes my mum his pan-grilled chicken recipe though *tibe-tibe*. We are the youngest participants here *although I don't look as young as him but believe me, we are at the same age or I think I'm younger than him by few months :P*

And then I met James. He doesn't look as energetic as he was during the semi-finals. He said he had come back from work at 4 am before he went to the event! *And he has to cook afterwards!* Nevertheless I'm still looking up on him for being so passionate! Way to go James!

And then I met again the very kind and helpful Chef Ryan from the Cooking House. He is the one teaching me how to pipe the avocado custard inside the Roti Puri. At home, I use to just sandwiched the Roti Puri with the custard in between because I've tried piping in custard once at home but the Roti Puri deflated and I can't seem to pipe in the custard. Apparently it takes expert chefs to teach me how to do it. At the very last moment, there's this lady in a red shirt *I can't find her picture* telling chef ryan "Don't poke from the sides!!poke from the bottom!!" Then chef Ryan repeated the same to me and Chef Kerlley was also very kind helping me out with the "piping work". She said "put the piping bag deeper and then you start piping". That would be a very useful tips for me (and all of you). Millions thanks to all the chefs who had willingly assisted me especially Chef Ryan whom I guess inspires a lot of other participants too. I learn so much that day :)

Now, now, I'm really looking forward for Masterchef Malaysia to begin! For a start, I'm eying for Masterchef Lynn because I met her during the finals the other day!
