It's been about a year since I last posted - this is the reason why...

Watch the trailer for Sik Fan Lah! - episodes drop weekly on TVNZ1 and TVNZ+ starting 10am Sunday February 12^th!

When it’s time to eat, we say SIK FAN LAH! Come with us on a culinary adventure across Aotearoa New Zealand, uncovering hilarious and hearty stories of modern Kiwi-Chinese life through our universal love for food.

In each of the six action-packed episodes, a different Kiwi-Chinese host journeys into the far corners of our country to chase new takes on classic dishes and the secret recipes only true insiders know. Don’t expect it to be easy - they’ll need to hack at cabbages, fend off horrifying cicadas, cross steaming mud pools and pummel mooncakes into submission if they’re to get a real feed.

But the spiciest part is mixed in between bouts of laughter and hungry mouthfuls, when our friends and family share intimate tales of being Chinese in the place we call home.

Whether it’s Palmy’s 65 kilogram whole roast pig, claypot chicken rice cooked in the Otago goldfields, or geothermal Chinese pāua from Rotorua – there’s plenty to munch on!
