Has he got an unfair advantage? Footage resurfaces of MasterChef finalist Reynold Poernomo appearing on the Indonesian version of the cooking show as a guest judge

He’s been impressing the judges with his delicious desserts on MasterChef: Back To Win and is still in the running to win the contest. 

And it seems Reynold Poernomo knows exactly what it takes to win the Channel Ten cooking show.

Footage has emerged of the pastry chef, 26, appearing on MasterChef Indonesia as a guest judge in 2019, alongside his brother Arnold, who was also a judge on the show.

During his appearance on the cooking program, Reynold taught the contestants how to create one of his popular desserts, the ‘White Noise’.

The pastry chef was first asked by one of the co-hosts how he feels about being a guest on the show.

‘It feels a bit weird because my brother started from here… and for me in Australia now I’ve come from the contestants to become one of the judges,’ he explained.

He went on to say: ‘Today I’ll be making one of my signature desserts it’s called ‘White Noise’. This dessert is revolved around the colours of white.’

The pastry chef also created the same dessert during a competition on the show this year.

Reynold first appeared on MasterChef Australia in 2015 and returned for this year’s all stars season.

Arnold has been a judge on MasterChef Indonesia since 2013, after appearing first as a guest on the second season before returning as a permanent judge.

He is known for teaching contestants how to improve their basic cooking techniques including cleaning and cutting raw food.

Meanwhile, Reynold is also no stranger to the cooking world as he co-owns Sydney’s popular Koi dessert bars with Arnold and their other brother Ronald.
