Hao's only hope is that his grandson Mark enters a prestigious university, but Mark's dream is to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and become a chef and take over the family restaurant. Due to Hao's difficult personality, the restaurant is on the verge of bankruptcy and he finally collapses. In order to save the restaurant, Mark enters a cooking contest without his grandfather's knowledge and consent in Shanghai. He competes against talented chefs from Japan, Korea, and Australia, and freely shows off the ravishing cooking skills that he has accumulated from his grandfather over the years. As Mark wins round after round and gains attention, Julia, the contest producer notices something peculiar about him, then slowly realizes that Mark and her husband David resemble each other.

dude is such a rock star
so
what do you have for us
not much technique on the plate is there
oh we wanted to uh
on and respect the pig by uh
giving you its truest essence
very old style
simple traditional pot chop
a bit too traditional for me peasant
cooking really
[Music]
i do taste like a scent of
truffle
really i thought that was beer oh
actually uh you're both right um
what you're tasting is the pig's final
meal
it's not about way to go
i think the dish is too plain not for me
i think it shows
incredible restraint
well we may not agree on the technique

the pork is tender
flavorful and perfectly seasoned for
that you deserve a spot in round two

a all on her own i hate it when

a chance at winning the million dollars
but this
this could be ourselves
that's right
oh
[Music]
you did what you came here to do
grandpa needs you and you need to go
back
just think of how happy he'll be
i think
[Music]
what's cooking
what is cooking
well to be honest my father hated me
cooking
you know
he would have been happier with doctor
or engineer
but what parent wouldn't
but i believed in my cooking i i lived
in myself
so i left behind my life
i left behind my hometown and
[Music]
it was actually the hardest thing i ever
had to do you know
but you know it would have been harder
not to follow the courage of my
convictions
then i'll cook
that would have killed me
[Music]
every team has finished their shopping
and now have less than an hour to
complete their dishes and there's team
two vacuum sealing that beef and yes
here's team three grilling those big
juicy prawns meanwhile team nines
chicken is boiling with ginseng as i
speak the kitchen is literally steaming

wait to see the cameras

their chefs now
hey guys tokiowa what'd you get
courage of my convictions well you can't
put that on the menu mate doesn't matter

it goes with my caviar appetizing yeah
but doesn't his beef on tray come right
after your appetizer no
we serve my press duck with polka drink
for the entree french appetizer with
french audrey newsflash missy this is
not france we should be focusing on
local flavors using local ingredients in
other words serve your menu
and come swing on your teammate
from a local market around
[Music]
[Applause]
hell was that
everyone okay
more importantly did you get that on
camera
okay
an absolute disaster
for team eight and with such little time
left i don't know how they could
possibly
recover oh that's a shame i thought that
team really had a bit of potential
oh wow
what's cooking everyone park papa is
back
yeah nice to see you guys too you came
back yeah shoes you spent all your money
on shoes what are you talking about it
took me three hours to pick these out
they all match my chef's jacket very
camera friendly we won't be on camera
why not because we don't have any food
to show
well that's not true we've got beef
vegetables rice plenty here for a
beautiful dish what dish
are you kidding
we're cooking for final recipe 20
minutes left chef 20 minute
okay let's do it let's do it let's cook
for royalty
let's make royal bibimbap
what is that
only the best tasting pink pop anyone's
ever eaten
all day
[Music]
sometimes you eat with your eyes
you gotta make it look good
[Music]
do
[Music]
[Music]
and now for my secret weapon gochujang
from a sacred village from the quebec
mountains
the sunlight up there goes chili peppers
touched by the gods
this is awful oh it's worse and that is
crap you're talking about this this
stuff is legit
oh my god does anybody have any msg
presentation forget teammate
wait not so fast
man i think you're poisoning what
dimitri
so
[Music]
today we prepare for you a song of the
sea
sprinkled with white pearl powder
before you
is a silky chicken
but the chicken
is merely a cooking vessel
for
the dish within
white bird's nest
harvested from the deep caves of burma
water fire and earth
the primary elements of cooking
representing water
we have a soup seaweed and oyster
i don't see any oyster
or seaweed just a
caviar
that's not caviar
they're bubbles of sea water filled with
a distilled essence of seaweed and
oyster
and next we have fire
a tenderloin wagyu beef
it's perfectly seared
actually it's not
it was cooked sous-vide
that seared out her crust
is really a coating of bamboo charcoal
powder
and finally earth
instead of a tiramisu dessert i've
created a forest mission
using edible soil made from crystallized
chocolate
i'm confused smoke without fire
chocolate soil
why cook this way
cooking is about transformation
in order to appreciate the finest
essence of each ingredient
we must challenge our preconceptions of
food
[Music]
no it's royale bibimbap
[Music]
the delicate blowtorch skill
maximizes the aroma of the bugy beef
each of the vegetables were treated with
care
cooked under different heat it is a
symphony of season in the ball
you're both wrong
this is
not bibimbap
this is not gochujang
what's in this
this paste
pine nuts
sesame oil and
fresh apples
i also put in some chinese wrote song
why would you do this to your children
i think in cooking
as in music
harmony is greater than the sum of his
parts
i wanted to bring all these ingredients
together
to create something new something
one of a kind
[Music]
young man
you have succeeded
you
not only have brought
harmony and balance to a simple dish
but
elevated to something worthy of
kings
and queens
we have a tie
team two
and team eight please step forward
congratulations the judges have awarded
both teams the highest number of points
in the history of final recipe
only one team can advance to the next
level
here to determine the tiebreaker please
welcome masterchef david chan
as a chef your first mission is to bring
ultimate pleasure to our palates
but a good chef can do so much more
a good chef can move us reawaken our
passion our dreams of childhood
but a great chef
can do all of this
on a budget
each team has been given the same amount
of money to create their magnificent
dishes
the team which spent the least money
will be declared the winner
wait where the hell is he going sir
i believe we have a winner
teammate you're going to the next level
[Applause]
[Music]
we're clear
[Applause]
is
[Music]
so
excuse me
oh hey it's you
so what are you cooking
um it's
not for cooking it's uh it's actually a
home remedy
i burned my hand let me see

better
my father's fixo
no way my
grandfather uses it for cuts it's things
like hell though i'll try it out
it doesn't taste too bad as tea either
thanks
chef oh call me david

meeting well sorry let me see are you
raised atrium reverence uh no this is
all wrong just have penny say noodles
today's challenge involves one of the
world's oldest culinary staples the
noodle
china alone has over 1200 different
noodle dishes each offering a distinct
look into the soul of its many peoples
and personalities and in this round
we'll be taking a look into the souls of
our remaining chefs
you'll be cooking today for the grand
master herself so show her your
technique show her your soul
the chef with the best noodle dish
will advance to the final round
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
chef dimitri suddenly picked up some
speed look at him swiftly running his
hands over that kitchen top there he's
really showing off some fine double
blade skills breaking down the pork into
an excellent minced meat the rhythms
he's drumming out is already stimulating
our palates making me wonder what
culinary surprise he's gonna bring to
this battle today
[Music]
each noodle has a distinct flavor
yellow pepper green tea sesame
but what flavor is this
[Music]
while your dish is beautiful
i only wish they were as appetite
i uh
hand-pulled the noodles to make the
strands as soft as a baby's bottom
these noodles are light and airy
very resilient thank you
excellent bite
i only wish that the noodles were the
only strands on the plate
i decided to make you a noodle soup
inspired by my family recipe
i extracted broth from kombu bonito
flakes
and smoked shiitake mushrooms to get the
most umami
chef don't you think something is
missing from your plate
no
my dish is perfect
[Music]
chopsticks
i forgot the chopsticks you must
remember the most important thing about
cooking
the food is for the people who eat it
not for the chef who makes it
dumplings
[Music]
my earliest food memory
my grandfather makes the best dumplings
for new year's
they're supposed to represent luck and
harmony
but to me they
represent the reason i'm here today
my grandfather
they look lovely but today's challenge
is to create a noodle dish yes if you
look closer you'll see i didn't use
traditional skins to wrap the dumplings
i used noodles
extraordinary
well if they taste as good as they look
[Music]
well done
well done

made this all possible
the grand master herself ms julia lee

perform amazing feats in the kitchen
here to defend his title please welcome
master chef david chen
and his challenger today is a young man
you've come to know over the last two
weeks you've watched him grow into an
outstanding chef dmitry beckmann better

we're here today in singapore because
today's challenge is special today we
want to take you on a journey
today
we want to ask
what does family taste like
everybody just hold your cameras that is
definitely not in the script
what's going on is family a flavor
can the memories of the ones you love be
reached through the senses of taste and
smell
tonight the chef that reaches deep into
his heart and finds the dishes that best
answer this question will earn the title

my son's birthdays
every birthday we used to cook together
no rules
no recipes
for that day my son was the chef
my son was in charge
but he's gone now

eat

15 dishes for 15 birthdays i have missed
including

good cooking can take you on an
adventure a journey to new faraway
places
it can take two different ingredients
from opposite ends of the earth and
bring them together in perfect harmony
or you can take an ordinary ingredient
something common
and transform it into something new and
exciting
it can make the impossible
possible
but best of all
good cooking brings people together
it is the ultimate expression of love
and the best cooking the greatest
cooking of all
is the family meal
because
who's gonna feed you better than the
people you love

fish
