MasterChef Australia’s Reynold Poernomo promotes new series

Reynold Poernomo was a breakout star on MasterChef Australia: Back To Win earlier this year. 

And now the reality star-turned-celebrity chef is giving fans insight into his life in his  very own series. 

The cooking superstar, 26, promoted his stylish new YouTube venture, titled SWEET X SALTY, on his Instagram on Wednesday. 

The trailer promised to show the thrills and spills of Reynold’s life as he makes his way around his at-home kitchen and KOI Dessert Bar in Sydney. 

The footage sees the smiling reality star as he runs errands, collects fresh produce and whips-up a range of delicious meals. 

Describing the series, Reynold said: ‘Whether it’s comfort food or food to challenge yourself, I’ll be teaching you what I have up my sleeve.’ 

He continued: ‘[I’ll be] sharing with you some of my favourite recipes and little snippets of my boring a** life.’ 

The chef teased the new series first episode would be out this Friday. 

While the star has seemingly gone from strength-to-strength, Reynold admitted KOI Dessert Bar was struggling on the show in July.

‘Like, we do have Koi. People think it’s successful. And it is. It’s great. I guess there were moments where we took the success for granted,’ he said, breaking down. 

‘I’m not going to go too into details and… now there’s a lot of things that we’re trying to keep our head up high, trying to maintain our image.

‘People see it as, like, the products are so great. But why is it that we’re still struggling?’

‘So that’s the saddest part about this business. It’s, like, hospitality industry has never been easy. I didn’t come on here for the fame or anything like that.’
