In Search Of Heat
In Search Of Heat is back for a second serving with Fiji-born Singaporean private chef and photographer, Kevin Lee. In Season 1, Kevin was just starting to plant his roots here after living overseas for decades - becoming Singaporean while embracing his Fijian upbringing. These days, he continues to run his private dining supper club and has a small farm where he plants and harvests his own fresh ingredients.Â
In this second season, Kevin goes on a wild road trip up north to Malaysia and Thailand on a journey beyond incorporating chilli and heat as part of his culinary identity. This time, he is looking outward as he travels to gather inspiration from our spice-loving neighbours to unearth some of the hottest dishes in the Southeast Asian region. He also rediscovers centuries-old cooking techniques that have almost disappeared, and even uncovers some of the most unsuspecting ingredients that go into mind-blowingly spicy concoctions worthy of ancient royalty.
