Why Did Sav Not Go to Hong Kong?
Social media is buzzing with confusion as fans wonder why Sav was absent from Hong Kong promos. Some speculated it could be health, visa, or family issues, though none are confirmed by producers or Sav herself. One fan on X wondered if contestants were warned about needing passports, suggesting Sav might not have had one. .
Another thought is that visa issues could be the reason. Despite missing Hong Kong, Sav will return to MasterChef Australia soon, with a Channel 10 spokesperson confirming her return during Wednesday's episode. If the next challenge relates to Hong Kong week, Sav might face a challenge catching up.
Absent Contestants: A Season of Mystery
Sometimes, contestants have to miss challenges because of personal reasons. Stephen Dennis didn’t come back for a cooking chance because his mother, Dahlas, needed his care. “My mother is very sick in the hospital,” he said. “My father passed away because of Covid, so I have to help my mother.
It wouldn’t be right to come back to filming with this in mind.” Lourdes Leschen also couldn’t come back for a cooking chance because she had an important surgery that she couldn’t miss. She told Yahoo Lifestyle, “I had surgery that was too important to miss.”
Savindri Perera Wiki
Savindri "Sav" Perera is a contestant on MasterChef Australia Season 16. Originally from Colombo, Sri Lanka, she moved to Adelaide at 18. While working in a bank, cooking is where Sav truly shines, especially recreating her late mother's Sri Lankan dishes. Her childhood was filled with food memories, like eating crab curry with family on Sundays.
Sav deeply admires her mother's cooking skills, which inspire her own rustic, colorful style in the kitchen. She quit her job to focus on MasterChef, aiming to honor her mother's legacy and pursue her dream of opening a Sri Lankan brunch café in Adelaide.
