Leong was also making a vegetarian dish made from cauliflower.It seems like she's peaking at the right time and she is becoming a stronger competitor each week but it would have been great if she showed a bit more versatility by not cooking an Indian dish. Priya was cooking a dish inspired by her Indian roots, which is a vegetarian dish from the north of India.
She's from Vietnam, and she's trying to make a salmon and eggplant dish inspired by her travels in her own country which seems a bit safe fo me. She seems calm and composed since she does have a huge advantage over the other contestants in this challenge.
If that contestant isn't going home, It's going to be a miracle.
I don't envy the poor soul who has to cook a delicious dish in just 20 minutes.If one of them wins it, that would be pretty impressive. Priya and Jasbir can't eat any beef, so the steak sauce challenge will be extra difficult for both of them.Everyone else has 50, 40, and 30 minutes depending on how delicious their steak sauce was. The contestant with the best steak sauce gets 60 minutes to cook and the contestant with the worst sauce gets a terrifying 20 minutes to cook their travel-inspired dish. This episode is also the first double challenge, where each contestant was first given the task of coming up with a steak sauce that would pair well with a medium rare steak in just 15 minutes.The contestants had to cook food that tells us of their travel and food experiences across Asia. We're down to only Five MasterChef Asia contestants! This MasterChef Asia Episode is all about Food and Travel.
