The MasterChef semi-finals continue with the remaining eight contestants challenged to create a dish inspired by someone they admire. After this challenge, one more cook will be leaving the competition while the others move on to a daunting challenge of cooking a three-course lunch at Grocers Hall, home to one of the oldest companies in the City of London. Then its back to the MasterChef kitchen for the last challenge of the semi-finals: to cook an outstanding dish to win over five of the country's most feared restaurant critics.

The final four amateur cooks embark on a culinary adventure in Hong Kong where they will face three challenges, including recreating dim sum dishes at the Lung King Heen restaurant.
