\"\"<\/a>MasterChef SA is the talk of the country, and we have 14 more gripping episodes to look forward to in the next four months. \u00a0To spice things up a little, we have launched two competitions, the\u00a0first being a prediction of who will win MasterChef SA in episode 18<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We are also running a weekly lucky draw for the correct prediction of who our readers think will be booted out of the MasterChef SA every week. \u00a0For the correct prediction of who will leave MasterChef SA in episode 5 (17 April)<\/span>, I \u2665<\/span> my Laundry<\/strong><\/a> has generously offered a food and wine pairing voucher to the winner. \u00a0Last week the trailer for episode 5 hinted that the sixteen finalists were divided into two teams, and each team had to choose which member they were eliminating, meaning that two finalists may be booted out.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0\u2665<\/span> my Laundry opened a month ago. The back section is on two floors, and contains the laundry, with washing, dry cleaning, ironing, and collection\/delivery (within the City Bowl initially) services\"\"<\/a> offered, not visible from the coffee shop\/restaurant on the ground floor. It has been beautifully transformed, with a 14-seater silver grey concrete table top resting on steel legs, comfortable white and black high-back chairs, a wooden counter, and wooden shelving. \u00a0On the mainly brickwork walls are artworks, which will be rotated over time.\u00a0The inspiration for the name and concept for I\u00a0\u2665<\/span> my Laundry, which is co-owned by Clayton Howard and Mico Botha, comes from The French Laundry in New York, which was first started by a husband and wife team, running a restaurant and a laundry first as two outlets next door to each other, and then opened up to become one entity. \u00a0The Buitengracht branch is the third to open in the past four months, with branches in Durbanville and Kenridge too.<\/p>\n

Free wifi is offered, and a coffee machine makes perfect cappucinos from Brazilian-imported beans by Joga Joga Caf\u00e9, exclusively stocked in South Africa by I \u2665<\/span> <\/span>my Laundry.<\/span> Cupcakes and chocolate pops are for sale, as is delicious Dim Sum all day long, at the most unbelievable value of R40 for eight pieces and a cup of coffee or a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. \u00a0An exciting subsidiary business is I\u00a0\u2665<\/span><\/span> my Wine, for which Clayton and Mico host interesting corporate events in which they bring together an alcoholic beverage supplier and a chef or restaurant to create magical food and wine pairing evenings.<\/p>\n

Tweet your prediction of which of the\u00a016 remaining finalists<\/a> <\/strong>will be booted out of MasterChef SA to\u00a0@WhaleCottage, or e-mail it to whalecot@iafrica.com. Closing time for entries<\/span> is\u00a0Tuesday\u00a017 April at 19h30,\u00a0at\u00a0the start of episode 5. \u00a0The winner will be contacted immediately after the show ends. There will be a weekly Restaurant Voucher prize draw per episode for the correct prediction of who will be booted out of MasterChef SA, and voting for the following episode can start as soon as that day\u2019s episode has been aired. Should there be no correct entry received, the prize is rolled over to go to another week.<\/p>\n

POSTSCRIPT 17\/4<\/strong>: Berdina Schurink was voted out in episode 5 this evening. \u00a0No correct prediction was received. \u00a0The prize from I \u2665<\/span> my Laundry will be rolled over to another week.<\/p>\n
