Mystery Box 1: The first Mystery Box saw the returning cooks facing their nightmares – one of the worst dishes they have cooked the previous time they were in the MasterChef kitchen (which were Andre’s uni, Andrew’s poached egg, Andy’s lobster, April Lee’s Piña Colada dessert, Barrie’s Wagyu beef, Christopher’s ground pork, Dora’s beef cheeks, Jen’s Salisbury steak, Jeremy’s monkfish, Mai’s poached salmon, Marissa’s Asian street food platter and Thea’s pork belly and pork cheek tamale dish in the finale). The cooks need to reinvent their previous dishes using the main ingredients or parts of the components in them. To raise the stake, one home cook will be eliminated. Among the many standout dishes, Andre’s dish was deemed as the best and he will receive an advantage in the challenge next week. The worst dishes belonged to April Lee, Marissa and Dora. The judges in the end decided that Dora’s beef cheeks sandwich lacked ambitions compared to the other two cooks and she was the first returning cook to be sent home.
