18 of the most talented amateur cooks are invited to compete in a high-pressure cooking audition. 10 are rewarded with the opportunity to compete in the MasterChef kitchen, and go on to battle for the title of Singapore's very first MasterChef.

Contestants discover a massive Mystery Box and are tasked to battle it out in the kitchen for a crucial advantage in the invention test.

The teams take on the challenge of feeding the many hungry students that attend a Singapore sports school.

The invention test features the first guest chef of the season, chef Haikal Johari, the first Malay chef to receive a Michelin star.

The Team Challenge splits the Top 6 and pits them against each other in a thrilling three-way challenge. It is also the toughest Pressure Test yet in a chef-see, chef-do masterclass with Chef Ming, co-owner of Park Bench Deli.

The contestants find themselves having to step into the headspace of Bjorn Shen after the first-ever judge switch of the show.
