On Friday night the Masterchef finals took place at the Spring Cultural fare, with the 4 senior competitors reaching the final and 4 pairs in the Junior section.
The Seniors had an hour and a half to put their “Taste of Asia” on plate and the Juniors had one hour 12 mins to produce their “Taste of Italy”.
The standard of food produced very high and most competitors were extremely well organised, which gave the judges a really hard job. The judges were Simon Hill the manager from HK Culinary Academy and last years star graduate Geraldine and Mr Binge (headteacher) and his wife and they were not only looking at the finished dishes, but also the creativity and working practices.
After much deliberation the results were announced and it was very close between thetop two in both categories, but there can only be one winner .
In the Junior section this was Avantika Malhotra and Chiara Dadamo from 9W, for their Italian Flag on a plate, made up of Two types of homemade pasta, with pesto and ragu, risotto ball, bruchetta and ricotta and coconut dessert.
Really well done also to Ottavia De Rosa and Lucy Acheson, who came clse in 2nd place
Winning the senior was Kaela- Mei Townson (10W), who made an appetiser of Asain Seafood, which stunned teh judges in terms of presentation and flavour.
Specail mention to Katherine Nye who came close in 2nd place with her classic Thai dishes
Well done to all the other competitors, you food was very good though and i hope you enter next year.
