Thanh Cuong proved his talent in cooking, as well as processing raw ingredients, during various stages of the contest.
In the final round on Saturday, he defeated rivalPham Tuyet with a comprehensive menu of starter, main course anddessert, having 120-minutes to cook the meal.
For the contest, Cuong chose to prepare threestarter dishes, including asparagus salad, Japanese seaweed with soyaand fresh oyster with green mustard.
Judge Tuan Hai noted that he highly appreciatedCuong’s creativeness when combining three fruits of mandarin, orange andlemon for the starter dishes.
“They really blend very well. Good work!” Hai said.
However, judge Hoang Khai did not taste the oyster, saying the oyster might not have been “fresh”.
Cuong then cooked fried salmon and baked lambchop dishes for the main course. He received praise from all threejudges for these dishes.
For dessert, Cuong made banana crepe.
Judge Christine Ha, who won the third season American Master Chef, said banana crepe was her favourite dish.
