The first two meals allowed the competitors to demonstrate their speciality dishes, but the dessert course had a surprise for them.
The “Queen of Desserts,” Janice Wong, a well-known Singaporean pastry chef, unexpectedly dropped by the MasterChef kitchen. The Supertree Grove, her meticulous invention, was put to a surprise pressure test on the competitors. This spectacular display, which was inspired by Singapore’s gardens, included 10 layers of chocolate, mousse, and a lava core that were put together with exact timing and technique, including dipping in liquid nitrogen.
