The second season of the MasterChef Singapore which ended in April this year, served up a sumptuous repast for over a million viewers, making it the top1 local English variety series on Channel 5 for 2021 to-date. The casting call then had attracted applicants from all walks of life including a singer, athlete, and teacher, amongst others, and the show's finale was an epic showdown where Derek Cheong was crowned winner after edging out runner-up Leon Lim by merely one point! Fans who wish to relive some of the riveting moments of MasterChef Singapore season two can do so on-demand via meWATCH, or every Sunday, at 12pm on Channel 5 starting from 29 August 2021.
Besides uncovering cooking talents, MasterChef Singapore also provided various opportunities and opened up paths for both winners and contestants alike, in their pursuits to realise their culinary dreams. Since his win, MasterChef Singapore season two's champion Derek Cheong has expanded his university dining venture Twelve Flavous to a full fledged private dining experience and started his own locally-brewed kombucha business, Broux.
Cheong said: MasterChef Singapore has truly changed my life. Not only did I manage to secure a gig as a commis chef at the renowned three Michelin-starred French restaurant Mirazur for their pop-up at Straits Clan, it has also opened many doors in the culinary world for me. I've met so many amazing people in my journey during and after MasterChef Singapore, and I am genuinely grateful for all the wonderful experiences.
Singaporeans and permanent residents looking to have a shot at achieving their culinary dreams can apply at this website by 13 October 2021. MasterChef Singapore is only open to those who are currently not working as a professional chef or those who have never worked as one before.
