MasterChef viewers gush that Brin Pirathapan is 'a worthy winner' after he is crowned champion in the 2024 final


The veterinary surgeon, 29, was chosen as this year's winner after what was branded 'the best final in the show's history.'

Cooking his way past 57 other culinary competitors after eight weeks of increasingly tough challenges, Brin's high stakes cook-off was in the Final Three, against Louise Lyons Macleod and Chris Willoughby. Brin took on a trio of challenges: celebrating Singapore's dizzying array of ingredients at a hawker market, cooking for discerning locals under the godfather of Singapore heritage cuisine, chef Damian D'Silva; producing a spectacular dish from Michelin-starred Chef Malcolm Lee's high-end menu at his most recent restaurant Pangium; and finally, taking what they'd learned cooking at Singaporean stoves to host a VIP lunch of their own creation, at the five-star Fullerton Bay Hotel, for some of the island's leading culinary figures. The main course was spiced venison loin, beef short-rib and pickled mushroom tartlet, celeriac and miso purée, salt-baked beetroot and pak choi, served with a gochujang and red wine sauce split with a herb oil.
