A tension-bathed Victor after getting his dish done waited for the review from the judges. On tasting the melon, the white men could not believe how amazing the food was when it hit their tongues.

One of them said:

"I really like your pasta, it's fine, it's thin. Inside, you get the almost sweet sea flavour of the prawns but you get something else that tastes like offal and has a better finish.
"But what really intrigues me are those seeds, Crunch of a nut, the sharpness of lemon, and finish bitter."
