There's no such thing as Malaysian cuisine! In the very first episode, we shatter the myths surrounding Malaysia and its diverse food culture. Kicking things off with satay, we look at the mysterious origins of this classic Malaysian dish. It's a story that tells us a lot about what people know, and think they know, about Malaysia.
Hear from food writer and cultural custodian Kalsom Taib, who is older than Malaysia itself. She shares her knowledge on Malaysia's rich culinary landscape and its many historical influences.
Hosted by Dr Noby Leong and Philip GIbson, this episode sets the scene for an exciting series that will delve into the rich histories, cultures and cuisines of a very misunderstood nation.
