After nine weeks of intense competition, dental student Johnathan Chew is not the MasterChef Singapore Season 3 champion. MasterChef Singapore has a new winner! Chew, 23, defeated visual arts instructor Azwandi ‘Andi’ Robani, 41, and car salesman S ‘Nares’ Narekanna’, 31. This is a first-ever three-way finale in which the contestants had to create a three-course meal consisting of an appetiser, a main dish, and a dessert.

Andi was eliminated after the first two courses, allowing Johnathan and Nares to compete in the dessert round. Finally, Johnathan’s Lemongrass Meringue Tart edged out Nares’ Deconstructed Mango Tart. Johnathan won with a total of 76.5 points out of a possible 90, narrowly beating Nares by 1.5 points.

Aside from the MasterChef Singapore trophy, Johnathan received S$17,000 in cash, a book publishing deal with Marshall Cavendish, over S$3,000 in Nespresso products, kitchen appliances from KitchenAid, Global Knives, and Thermomix, an internship with Chef Gaggan Anand’s culinary team, and a staycation and spa package at the Fullerton Hotel. “I am so proud to be Singapore’s next MasterChef!” exclaimed Johnathan. Also, “This moment has always been a dream of mine, and clinching the trophy will motivate me to chase after all my other food dreams — like opening a bakery with my mum, which I feel is now within reach.”
