SINGAPORE: Home cooks in Singapore had better take note - popular reality TV cooking competition MasterChef is set to come to Singapore.
MasterChef Singapore will premiere on Mediacorp Channel 8 in August and the judges will be announced soon.
"MasterChef Singapore will have a truly 360 perspective, with a dynamic emphasis on interactivity, digital, television and on-ground activities," broadcaster Mediacorp said.
A nationwide casting call for contestants is already underway - home chefs can apply from now until Mar 25.
"For the very first time MasterChef is coming to Singapore! And we are looking for the best, brightest and tastiest chefs that the 'Little Red Dot' can muster – all of whom will battle it out in the MasterChef kitchen to be crowned Singapore's first ever MasterChef!" read the casting site.
A promotional video circulating on social media called for applicants to try their hand at becoming the "best home chef in Singapore".

Singaporeans will get a taste of the show earlier with the MasterChef Singapore Kitchen Takeover, which will premiere on Mediacorp Channel 5 in June.
For this programme, the judges will be invited by local food outlets to put a "MasterChef spin" on existing dishes to make them "tastier and more exceptional than they already are", Mediacorp said.
The cooking competition, which aims to find a nation's "best amateur cook", is produced in more than 50 territories globally - 10 in Asia - and broadcast in more than 200. Other spin-offs include a celebrity version as well as one for children.
