Culinary showman Sharone Hakman of MasterChef US made his way to Malaysian shores to talk about his main passion in life, the one thing he was born to do – food! Sharone’s visit here coincided with the premiere of MasterChef US Season 3 on STAR World (Astro Ch 711) and STAR World HD (Astro Ch 722) on 16 September 2012 at 8pm.

Previously a financial planner, Sharone left the corporate world to pursue his passion for food by starting his journey as a chef. His outstanding performance on MasterChef US brought Sharone’s aspirations in the culinary world to a whole new level. Owner of a barbecue sauce company and a well sought out chef, Sharone creates love and passion through his food.

Sharone held a cooking demonstration at Mid Valley Megamall where thousands thronged the area. Cameras filmed him scurrying around in search of his ingredients as his shopping adventure was aired live at East Atrium.

The event, hosted by international celebrity and model, Lisa S, then saw Sharone captivating the crowd with his engaging personality by inviting shoppers to come on stage to personally taste his food.

Yep, this man can cook…

And he uses only the freshest ingredients around… 😀 The dish of the day was Seared Duck with Bak Choy and Coconut Black Rice.

Here’s the seared duck

Piping hot coconut black rice

Yummilicious sauce

His cooking is great, I assure you…I managed to get a taste of this, and it’s simply divine!
