In a release by broadcaster Mediacorp yesterday, Shen said: "We are a nation of proud home cooks, and I am sure many of my fellow Singaporeans have been waiting a long time to show off their chops on a TV show of this level."
D'Silva said he would do his "utmost to invoke the cooking spirit from every contestant, so that they can find their true self".
Morrice added: "This will be a great opportunity to showcase and harness not just the wonderful multicultural cuisine and people of this beautiful country but hopefully inspire and encourage more people to get back into the kitchen and discover their hidden MasterChef talents."
