I loved the when he walked off on Jock, and told him he probably didn't have enough time but was cool and collected.

[Mistyavalon]

Poh
Andy says the base has the right texture and bounce. Edges nice and crispy.
Mel says it is quietly perfect
Jock says it is faultless in a homely way but not wowed by it

Scoring

So it’s not a given for Poh,

Khanh
Not the dish he wanted but tastes good apparently..yeah i can see that
Andy thinks it looks unfinished
Jock says first time having choc honeycomb
He likes it
Tasty dish but doesnt feel like a complete dessert

Andy says it tastes good but not there for him.. the elements are all garnishes
Mel says the elements are good but is it worthy to get into top 10
