Wednesday nights episode of MasterChef Australia is going to be a tear-jerker, with the remaining contestants being surprised with photos of their loved ones, and then asked to cook a dish that is reminiscent of them.

Fan favourite Poh Ling Yeow has often referred to her mum Christina when speaking about some of the Malaysian dishes shes made this season.

Not only do they share a love of food, but a fantastic sense of humour as well.
