MasterChef Australia’s popular Brendan Pang’s passion for food was sparked by his Chinese-Mauritian grandmother, whom he fondly refers to as ‘grand-mere.’ Building upon her foundation, he ventured into dim-sum, a dish he is now famous for.
The chef, who was recently in India, for the first time, hosted a six-course dinner in Bengaluru, at The Leela Palace’s Pan-Asian restaurant, Zen.
Having emerged from the crucible of MasterChef Australia, Chef Pang says the show had a profound impact on his culinary evolution. “I’ve always thought there was just one way of doing something,” he reflects. “What MasterChef taught me was that you can do something and make it taste or look good in so many different ways.”
