Poh's Kitchen

This week on Poh's Malaysian adventure, she heads north to the 'Pearl of the Orient', the island of Penang. A popular tourist destination, this tropical paradise has a diverse cultural background, which is clearly reflected in its reputation as the food capital of Malaysia.

Poh continues on her Malaysian adventure, heading south to spend her second week in the historic port of Melaka. Once a vibrant maritime trading centre at the heart of the international spice trade, Melaka boasts a rich culinary history. Over time it has been occupied by the Portuguese, Dutch, British and Japanese, who have all left their influence.

This week, Poh is on a quest to find out more about 'wok cooking'. She's no stranger to this ancient culinary art, having two wonderful mentors in her mum and aunty, but when it comes to cooking with high heat and lots of flame, it still presents a challenge.
