Episode Synopsis "#3 | Nor - MasterChef Singapore S2 Top 5 Finalist - The Soulful Cook "
Meet Nor Hadayah Mohamad, or Nor, a Top 5 finalist on MasterChef Singapore Season 2 (2021). Nor has been hailed as 'Soul Woman', wowing judges with her dishes that boast intense and vibrant flavours, from Gambas Al Ajillo, Kek Pisang Nanas to a coffee-infused Mexican beef stew. Nor shares how her experience on Masterchef is akin to "enter a wrestling ring, where you start to question one's life choices" and the highs and lows of her colourful and (sometimes teary) journey of taking part in the televised cooking competition. Nor also shares how her interest in cooking blossomed, from being "my mother's shadow in the kitchen", crimping epok epoks while other kids were out playing to cooking all sorts of cuisine from Mexican, Japanese to even Uzbek. Nor also shares her plans for life after MasterChef and how plans to open up the possibilities of cooking Halal food.
