My Kitchen Rules SA: episode 3 summary<\/strong>
\n\u201cMr & Mrs\u201d Bruce and Claudia now at the top of the leader board!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In tonight\u2019s surprising episode of My Kitchen Rules SA, married couple Bruce and Claudia finally played their cards and showed that they\u2019re the ones to beat in this gruelling competition! After having executed a very strategic game so far, Bruce and Claudia managed to garner a whopping 72 points out of 100 from their fellow competitors and celebrity judges J\u2019Something and David Higgs, displacing Bloem besties Liz and Leanne from their comfortable spot at the top of the leader board.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to deliver,\u201d Bruce hinted at the start of the show, with Claudia by his side. \u201cThe way I see food is similar to martial arts,\u201d Bruce explained. \u201c It\u2019s all a precise movement. Everything must have a balance: you have sweet and sour, hot and cold, sugar and spice!\u201d Moreover, this ambitious couple revealed that they\u2019ve been practicing three hours a day of cooking ahead of the show, proving that they have their sights firmly set on the finals. In previous weeks the rest of the contestants speculated about the fact that Bruce might have a bland, unadventurous palate, but these suspicions were immediately diminished when Bruce – a world champion martial arts master – revealed his and Claudia\u2019s starter dish: a prawn and pork ravioli with basil butter\u2026 and a lot of chillies!<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that their eight fellow competitors found the chillies in the dish way too overwhelming, both celebrity judges David Higgs and J\u2019Something felt that they \u201cnailed\u201d their starter, having absolutely loved it. Next up was their main dish of salmon teriyaki with herbed basmati and edamame beans. Of course, Bruce and Claudia had another trick up their sleeves when they turned their basmati into egg fried rice, a subtle nod to Bruce\u2019s Chinese heritage. Liz from Bloemfontein admitted that she\u2019d never tried edamame beans before, while Lani from Cradock couldn\u2019t hide her shock when she discovered egg in her rice! \u201cFor me, the egg in the rice was just really weird\u2026 Was it supposed to be there? I\u2019ve never had egg in rice before,\u201d she revealed. Despite lacklustre plating, the judges gave Bruce and Claudia\u2019s main course high praise again, while their fellow competitors had mixed reviews, many saying that the dish lacked flavour or correct seasoning. If Bruce and Claudia were to beat Liz and Leanne\u2019s score of 69 out of 100 they\u2019d have to blow everyone away with their dessert.<\/p>\n

Claudia\u2019s speciality has always been baking, and she did not hold back when it came to preparing her mille feuille with vanilla pastry cream and berries. When judge J\u2019Something confessed that a mille feuille is his favourite dessert, Claudia clearly felt the pressure to perform, but her anxiety around producing the perfect end to their meal didn\u2019t matter because the dessert was a total triumph. \u201cI can tell you now that I can\u2019t make puff pastry this good,\u201d Chef David Higgs complimented a teary Claudia. \u201cThis was a very, very good dessert,\u201d he concluded. Not even their competition could fault the dish. \u201cIt looked like it came straight off a magazine cover,\u201d Kelly raved. \u201cIt was absolutely sublime.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that, it came to scoring the night and Bruce and Claudia did what they set out to do from the start and took over the top spot on the MKRSA leader board. Next week it will be the turn of mother and daughter duo Lani and Louzel to host everyone in their farmhouse in Cradock, Eastern Cape. Will their three-generation-old family recipe book stand them in good stead, or will they crumble under the pressure of following Bruce and Claudia?<\/p>\n
