Welcome to The Potluck Newsletter (Podcast Edition). I give my Pilot pens a break this week and take to the airwaves with a MasterChef finalist. Let’s tuck in. Subscribe here:
Welcome to The Potluck Podcast. Taking pride of place at the dining table are the food stories whipped up by MasterChef Singapore Season 2 finalist, Nor Hadayah Mohamad, or more fondly known as, Nor.
“Cooking on #MasterChef is like entering a wrestling ring and you start questioning your life choices,” she candidly shares.
Nor shares the highs and lows of her colourful and (sometimes teary) journey of taking part in the high-octane cooking competition.
She has been hailed as 'Soul Woman', wowing judges with her dishes that boast intense and vibrant flavours, with dishes like Gambas Al Ajillo, Kek Pisang Nanas to a coffee-infused Mexican beef stew.

Nor also shares how her interest in cooking blossomed, from accompanying her mother to the wet market, crimping epok epoks while other kids were out playing rising out of her mother's shadow in the kitchen to baking and cooking all sorts of cuisine from Mexican, Japanese to even Uzbek.
She shares her plans for life after MasterChef and her plans to open up the possibilities of Halal food.
