It came down to the wire for Poh, who served a colourful, mouth-watering dish to the new MasterChef judges.

‘It would be so awful to go home on this dish because it’s a dish that I love and know so well. But I usually take about three to four hours to make this cake,’ Poh admitted to viewers.

Melissa Leong took it up a notch, revealing to Poh and the other contestants, ‘I think it’s safe to say Australia thinks you are a pure joy, and that was a pure joy to eat. It was light, it was airy, it’s everything that makes chiffon cake great. And what a riot of colour. Absolutely gorgeous. Just like you.’
