Round 1 winner: Laila Bazahm — advanced to face Bobby.
Round 2 · Bobby lost
Laila Bazahm beat Bobby with Kare-kare.
Kare-kare's sauce depends on toasted peanuts ground to a paste and slow-thickened with toasted rice flour. Bobby's version, per the room, leaned on peanut butter — a shortcut that lands as candy, not depth.
