Twelve-year-old Aisya Syahrul from Manchester, United Kingdom is one of the finalists in Britain’s Junior Bake Off (JBO) showdown, which will take place today (Jan 28). She made it into the finals with her Malaysian-inspired dishes.

The eldest of three siblings, Aisya learnt how to cook and bake from her mother and grandmother.

According to her baking profile, her earliest baking memories are of learning how to make curry puffs from her mother. She enjoys using Malaysian ingredients and flavours in her baking and learns from her grandmother who video calls her from Malaysia regularly.
