Adam Liaw's songs that set him off

from Take 5 · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Who knew cooking competitions would take over Australian television? Back in 2010 the finale for the second season of Masterchef became the most watched non-sporting event of that year. And the winner? Adam Liaw. This Malaysian-Australian lawyer had been working in Japan when he decided to enter the Masterchef competition. He became a firm favourite, and after that victory… everything changed. Adam published a handful of cookbooks, became the host of a brilliant cooking show on SBS called Destination Flavour, started a family, and kept everyone entertained on his always active Twitter account. He’s has been in to Take 5 before, back in 2013. And he was so good, I asked him to return. Across five songs, Adam shared the moments in his life where things changed. Whether it was playing tennis air guitar in a childhood bedroom, or bonding with his wife over a new fave, this co-host will make you fall in love with this legend even more.Starship – ‘We Built This City’Smashing Pumpkins – ‘Bullet With Butterfly Wings’Beastie Boys – ‘Check It Out’Montaigne – ‘Fantastic Wreck’Wiley, Stefflon Don & Sean Paul – ‘Boasty (ft.
