MasterChef Australia, a renowned Australian cooking reality show, is set to return to Hong Kong for filming after a 15-year hiatus since its debut series in 2009. The decision to revisit Hong Kong was influenced by the city's efforts to attract tourists.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board recently announced that three episodes of the show's sixteenth season will be filmed in Hong Kong. The aim is to showcase the city's iconic landmarks, its vibrant street food culture, and its Michelin-starred restaurants.
MasterChef Australia invites passionate home cooks to compete for a grand prize of A$250,000 (HK$1.29 million) by presenting their handcrafted dishes to a panel of four judges. One of the judges, Andy Allen, a former winner of MasterChef Australia and an award-winning chef, expressed his excitement about visiting Hong Kong for the first time. He praised the city's diverse food offerings, describing it as a melting pot of different cultures, bold flavors, and unique ingredients.
The other three judges on the show are Poh Ling Yeow, the runner-up of MasterChef Australia's debut season; food critic and journalist Sofia Levin; and multi-Michelin Star award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli. The show's trip to Hong Kong is sponsored by the Hong Kong Tourism Board and Cathay Pacific Airways.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board stated that MasterChef Australia's visit will showcase the city's dynamic fusion of East-meets-West culture on screens worldwide. The upcoming season, which includes the three episodes filmed in Hong Kong, will soon air on the Australian TV channel Network 10.
MasterChef Australia has gained global recognition and influence over its sixteen seasons, celebrating and nurturing home cooks and turning many into household names. The show has been screened in more than 180 countries and has attracted leading chefs from around the world. This return to Hong Kong marks its first visit since the inaugural season and its first venture overseas for filming in seven years, as the past six seasons were filmed in Australia.
Overall, the filming of MasterChef Australia in Hong Kong is expected to provide a platform to showcase the city's culinary excellence and cultural diversity, further enhancing its reputation as a global food destination.
