Format
[edit]It is a reality cooking competition show conceived and produced by Heliconia H Group. It starts with recruiting vendors from street food stalls, flea markets, small restaurants or eateries to compete in a cooking competition. They are divided into 3 teams with a head teacher as the main judge and a head chef trainer for each team who teaches cooking to their team members.
Audition rounds
[edit]This round will be divided into two stages:
- Stages 1: Contestants must dress, apply makeup, style their hair, create a character, and present their regular menu item in a captivating manner within 30 seconds for initial evaluation by the headmaster and head chefs.
- Stages 2: Contestants must take a menu item from their own restaurant and recreate it as a more unique and creative dish within 60 minutes. They will then present this new dish to the head chefs for team selection. The selection process is as follows:
- If no head chef selects a contestant, they will be eliminated.
- If one head chef selects a contestant, the contestant will join that head chef's team.
- If multiple head chefs select a contestant, the contestant will have the right to choose which head chef's team to join. Each team member will receive an apron corresponding to their team's color. Each head chef may have a maximum of six team members.
Competition rounds
[edit]Individual Challenge
[edit]Contestants must create a food dish based on the given prompt within the allotted time, usually 60 minutes. Afterward, each team's head chef will taste their team members' dishes and select the two best dishes from their team, totaling six dishes for the judging panel (consisting of the headmaster and two guest judges each week) to taste and determine the best dish. Dishes that exhibit creativity will be given special consideration. The winner of the best dish will receive special privileges in the next challenge.
Restaurant War
[edit]Each team must prepare a dish according to a specified nationality and style, which will be judged by a panel of 20 judges. The judges will then select the winning team through a voting process. Three primary ingredients will be provided, and the winning team from the Individual Challenge will have the privilege of selecting these ingredients for all three teams. Each team will be allotted 60 minutes to consult with their head chef mentor regarding the menu and kitchen operations. Following the consultation, each team will have 90 minutes to prepare their dish. The head chef mentors will be limited to observing their team's performance through a closed-circuit television system in a control room. To communicate with their team members, the head chefs must press a button corresponding to the member's name. During these communications, the remaining team members must temporarily halt their tasks, although the countdown timer will continue. If the headmaster deems that the three teams are experiencing significant difficulties and the head chef mentors are unable to maintain control, the headmaster may grant the head chef mentors limited permission to assist their teams directly.
Elimination
[edit]Following the judges' evaluation of all three teams' dishes, a letter will be sent to each team's room to announce the results of the Restaurant War round. The winning team will not have any team members eliminated that week. For the two losing teams, each head chef must nominate two team members to be evaluated by the headmaster and the winning team's head chef. The winning team's head chef will have the option to select one of these nominated contestants to join their team. However, each head chef may only exercise this privilege once per season. After making their decision, the headmaster will determine which contestant will be eliminated and return their apron.
