Season 10

Bourdain roams Singapore’s historically rich streets, immersing himself in the island city-state’s expansive tapestry of multicultural cuisine. He shares an old-school prawn mee lunch with his trusted Singaporean culinary guide, KF Seetoh, and visits the Muslim Quarter for a soup-like dish of wontons, rice cake, coconut gravy, vegetables, and hard-boiled eggs as part of the host’s food-focused excursion. The journey also examines the dichotomy within Singaporean society—a nation celebrated for its tolerance of diverse cultures, generous social services, and sanctioned diversions (such as legalized brothels and casinos)—alongside the constraints on basic civil liberties like freedom of the press and privacy.
