In Search of Heat

In Search of Heat follows Fiji-born Singaporean private chef and photographer Kevin Lee on a journey of discovery in chilli, exploring adventurous ways to use chilli as he celebrates and tries to understand our love affair with heat. Along the way he meets inspiring people and through them, gains knowledge on Singapore's heritage with this simple ingredient. 

In Season 2, Kevin goes on a wild road trip up north to Malaysia and Thailand on a journey beyond incorporating chilli and heat as part of his culinary identity. This time, he looks outward as he travels to gather inspiration from our spice-loving neighbours to unearth some of the hottest dishes in the Southeast Asian region. He also rediscovers centuries-old cooking techniques that have almost disappeared, and even uncovers some of the most unsuspecting ingredients that go into mind-blowingly spicy concoctions worthy of ancient royalty.
