Adi drew a white apron and sat out; she had to back a team, and receive their outcome She chose the red team. On the red team, their entrée of pork san choy bow was praised for being served in cos lettuce, as well as the juiciness of the pork and the complex flavours, thanks to the addition of duck fat. Their main of beef and black bean with fried rice, led by Declan, was praised for the cooking and tenderness of the beef, the flavours of the sauce, different textures of the vegetables and being loaded with black beans. The dessert of lychees and vanilla ice cream was a miss with the ice cream not set and not well-balanced. On the purple team, the entree of pork and prawn spring rolls was delicious but the sweet & sour sauce was a miss. The lemon chicken main was crispy and cooked well, but the lemon sauce didn’t have enough lemon flavour due to the sauce being prepared too late. The dessert of pineapple fritter with vanilla ice cream was also a miss due to the ice cream not setting. Jock thought that the dish didn’t hit the brief of being nostalgic. The red team won despite dessert issues; the judges felt that the first two courses more than made up for it, and they were granted the chance to cook for immunity.
