The Great Escapade

Join Chef Anthony Yeoh as he embarks on an adventure not at tourist hotspots but real life destinations that shake him out of his comfort zone. In Sri Lanka, he learns how to ride the waves and care for elephants in a sanctuary. Deep in the Royal Belum Rainforest in Perak, the Jehai Tribe imparts blowpipe wisdoms. Inspired by the lessons gleaned on his adventures, he returns to Singapore and sets himself up for what might be his biggest challenge yet – a half marathon.

In Season 2, taking place during COVID-19, in a time of where global travel is almost non-existent, Anthony finds alternative retreats and continues his explorations in Singapore. He steps out of his comfort zone and immerses in the lives of Singapore's diverse communities. He undergoes training with award-winning bodybuilders, joins a wildlife team on rescue and care missions, and rediscovers nature through forest bathing and foraging. Each experience is augmented with a dish that he celebrates with his newfound friends.
