MasterChef is being blasted for eliminating a Malaysian-born woman who faced criticism for a beloved national dish she made to perfection.
The BBC reality competition’s judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode criticised contestant Zaleha Kadir Olpin’s chicken redang stating the skin needed to be more crispy.
“I like the rendang flavour, there’s a coconut sweetness,” Wallace said, adding: “However, the chicken skin isn’t crispy.
But this is chicken rendang, not KFC so it all boils down to how the chef controls the spices and the flames.”
