Taste of Malaysia with Martin Yan

Life on the Pahame River

Season 1 Episode 110

Pahang is the longest river in Malaysia. More than a water highway it’s a complete ecosystem. Cooking local river fish with durian fruit (called the ‘king of fruits’) is a favorite among the residents. Martin visits a durian farm in the area where the best ‘king of fruits’ are grown. Nearby he visits Malaysia’s famous chef Wen — a celebrity chef and TV host — to compare recipes.
