| Summary |
This week Poh moves out of her kitchen and heads off overseas - to Malaysia, the country where she was born. She is on a three-week trip to find out more about her heritage and about the traditional dishes that come from Malaysia.In the first week of her trip, Poh visits Kuala Lumpur, her hometown. This is a city known for its street food and immediately after she arrives, Poh's out on the street looking, talking and eating. While in Kuala Lumpur Poh spends time at her grandmother's house with her aunts and her mother. As they cook for a large family meal, Poh learns from her great aunt how to make poppia, a kind of spring roll. Then it's time for a little sight-seeing and Poh goes off to visit the famous Batu Caves with their Hindu temples and Macaque monkeys. But Poh has a date and so she leaves the caves to meet Chef Matt, famous for his roti which needs to be thrown, much like a pizza before it's cooked. He teaches Poh the art of roti throwing. Poh also meets Chef Shamiel, a master of the dish nasi lemak, which, in Kuala Lumpur, is called 'the national dish'. Kuala Lumpur, like all of Malaysia, has wonderful markets and Poh drops into the Chow Kit Market on her way to meet Chef Ismail whose restaurant specialises in Malay food. Ismail shows Poh his River Snail Curry and then, for the less adventuresome, his Jackfruit and deep-fried Anchovy Curry. Poh's time in Kuala Lumpur ends with a night at a Malay wedding.Next week Poh's off to Melaka to discover more about the food she most loves, Nonya cuisine.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Produced by ABC TV.
