From chicken rice to sup tulang, Singapore’s food repertoire is unparalleled. And few would argue that the length and breadth of Singapore’s culinary landscape outstrips the physical size of this little island. Eating is rightfully the national past time for many Singaporeans. And family food institutions on the island have a very special place in a nation of unabashed and discerning foodies. This January, Food Empire returns for a brand new season. Through 10 weekly episodes, Food Empire burrows far and wide to bring audiences more stories behind classic dishes and national favourites. Besides celebrating pioneer chefs, Food Empire Season 2 uncovers the evolving story behind the next generation of hawkers, chefs and food entrepreneurs keeping the fire strong in the many kitchens of our island. New favourites are making their way to the hearts and bellies of epicurean Singaporeans as successors of family eateries continue to innovate and surprise our fussy palates.
