<p style="text-align: center;">The original five-part series sees these renowned chefs travel to five cities in Asia including <a href="http://www.nognoginthecity.com/2014/05/16/15-thrifty-trip-macau/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Macau</a>, Shunde, Manila, Ipoh and <a href="http://www.nognoginthecity.com/2017/08/21/travelling-tips-kuala-lumpur-malaysia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kuala Lumpur</a> where they spend time with celebrated local chefs learning about the city, its food and culture, and are then tasked with preparing a local dish, putting their culinary skills to the test while battling each other out. The final two episodes take place in two destinations built, owned and operated by the Sunway Group; Sunway City Kuala Lumpur and The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat in Malaysia, which are the official premier destination partners of this series. From Malaysian cuisine to Filipino fare, there is a range of delicious dishes on display in all destinations.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Representing the East is Nicholas Tse, entrepreneur with his own cooking show, also known for singing and acting. On the opposing camp representing the West is David Rocco who brings his passion for food to millions of kitchens every day through his television programmes and his bestselling cookbooks where he shares the perfect combination of food, travel and a celebration of the sweet life. The competition promises to be a memorable one, as both chefs bring not only their extensive knowledge to our screens, but also their highly captivating on-air personalities and fascinating careers and back-stories. The ultimate winner will walk away with bragging rights to culinary supremacy, and a generous donation towards a charity of his choice.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>David Rocco</strong>, Canadian celebrity chef says, “Coming to Asia, exploring the different cities and learning more about their local cuisines has been an incredible experience.
