A moment that she had long dreamed of having.
In the recent episode of the regional cooling reality show MasterChef Asia, food content creator Abi Marquez, also known as the Lumpia Queen, appeared as a special guest judge.
“STILL CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!!!! I had the chance to step into a kitchen I’ve dreamed about SINCE I WAS A KID,” she wrote in a post on her account, where she attached her pictures taken on set.
The comebacking franchise, which last aired in 2016, seea Edward Lee, Pichaya Soontornyanakij (Pam), and Kelvin Cheung sit as judges over the course of the season that will run for 10 episodes.
