As Malaysians, we really really love our food and there’s a good reason why. How can anyone resist all the delicious food you can find not just in Malaysia but the whole of Asia. This is exactly why HBO is producing Food Lore, a drama series that revolves around FOOD!

We are fortunate enough that food in Asia revolves around more than just the taste. Don’t get me wrong, the taste is a very important factor. But we also have customs, traditions, and special occasions that make food more special.

Food Lore is a new drama series on HBO that explores not just food but also the stories behind a dish. In fact, there is a total of eight different stories that take place around Asia.

We’re not going to give any spoilers but it involves a bad tempered cook and an ambitious salesperson who form an unlikely friendship.
