Weekend Ramblings

For the foodies especially the locals, do check out two television programmes this weekend which are especially interesting - Ho Chak Season 3 on 8TV (Channel 18 on Astro) and Taste of Jason on AEC (Channel 19 on Astro). Both actually clash as they're on Sunday, 6 pm but I usually watch the repeat of Taste of Jason on Monday, 10 pm instead as 8TV don't do repeats.


Both shows introduce various restaurants/stalls and get up close and personal with how they prepare the dishes. While Ho Chak features three places per episode, Taste of Jason focuses on one place and his interview is really in depth. Last week, he featured Wei Kee's Roast Goose in Pudu and it was so fascinating to see how they prepared the goose and roasted it in a specially made oven with charcoal. I didn't even know they had kerabu goose feet and jellyfish here until I watched the show. For those who don't speak or understand Mandarin which is the medium of these two shows, there are Malay subtitles which allow you to follow the shows.

Have a good weekend and remember to tune in to the telly. For those Formula 1 fans - the high pitched whine is back with the start of the Melbourne GP so we'll be glued to the telly this weekend.

  4. precious pea - I only found out abt Taste of Jason last weekend so I can to slowly look for the repeats. There are other repeats on Monday but they're in the afternoon and evening when no one is at home.

    cookies cream - yeah, it's pretty obvious as they shifted them from their previous 7.30 pm slot.

    wmw - taste of jason is so good! I love the way he explores in depth.
