'MasterChef' Dessert King Reynold Poernomo's Sydney Shops Are Delivering That White Noise Dish

If you tuned into MasterChef last night, Monday, April, 13, you would have noticed a few things. Firstly, the show has three news judges: food writer Melissa Leong, Orana founder Jock Zonfrillo and Andy Allen of Three Blue Ducks. Secondly, Gordon Ramsay is weirdly nice (?). And lastly, Reynold Poernomo makes a damn fine dessert.

Those familiar with the long-running show — which is now in its 12th season — will already know this, of course, with the Dessert King whisking and foaming for the cameras in the seventh season. Last night, though, Poernomo gave us a nice little reminder with his White Noise dessert — made with whipped coconut ganache, strawberry gun jelly, yoghurt gel and strawberry pebbles — which Ramsay called "breathtaking" (see, nice).

Instead of Googling 'how to make Reynold Poernomo's all-white 'MasterChef' dessert', then realising you actually need liquid nitrogen and titanium dioxide to make it, you can order one of the Dessert King's cakes to your house. Yes, Poernomo has two Sydney dessert shops, in Chippendale and Ryde, called Koi, which he runs with his brothers Arnold and Ronald.

In these COVID-19 times, both shops are offering Koirantine Cake Delivery, which means they're dropping off delicious desserts to a whole heap of suburbs across inner-city Sydney and the northern suburbs. Convenient.

You know what's even more convenient? That White Noise dessert is on the menu, available for pick up or delivery from this Friday, April 17. We're sure it's not a coincidence in the slightest, but we're still excited. Also on the menu is a spiced chocolate brownie, a mascarpone tiramisu and a Red Fortune Jar layered with lychee pear, strawberry compote, rose and yuzu.

You can order Koi Desserts for pick up or delivery over here.
