In this series of Destination Flavour, Adam visits the Asian food mecca of Singapore. Over 6 weeks, he goes on a journey of food discovery like no other across the length and breadth of the small island nation. From specialty hawker stalls that have been handed down through generations, to some of the finest 5-star restaurants on the planet featuring the likes of Michelin-starred chef Guy Martin and even Australia's own Chef Tetsuya Wakuda, Adam leaves no stone unturned in his quest to share with us the very best flavours the country has to offer. But for Adam, this journey is also personal, as he discovers not only long-held secrets about his family ancestry in Singapore, but also takes on one of the biggest pressure-cooker challenges of his career.

Singapore is a place that Adam has a strong personal connection with. That's because his mother was born there, as was his grandfather and great-grandfather before that... and many of his father's Hainanese relatives also call Singapore home. In this episode, Adam catches up with a cousin from his father's side of family, to learn how he has been making Hainanese chicken rice for over 30 years. The experience also inspires his quest to create his Salute to Singapore banquet menu for the feast that will happen in just six weeks' time - let the food adventures begin.
