South African Food Tour: Your Taste Bud Adventure with Warren Mendes

Calling all foodies and travel dreamers! Buckle up for a culinary adventure unlike any other. Food Trail: South Africa, a brand new 10-episode series, premieres on Friday, March 29th, at 9:55 PM (GMT+8) on Global Trekker. It's guaranteed to make your mouth water and your wanderlust roar.

This is different from your average food show. Forget fancy kitchens and Michelin stars for a taste of the real South Africa. Food Trail: South Africa is about joining South African-born chef Warren Mendes on a delicious journey across the country's stunning landscapes. Think Cape Town's bustling markets overflowing with exotic spices, the dramatic coastline of the Cape Winelands, and yes, even a safari adventure in the heart of the Kalahari!

Here's why you should ditch the takeout menus and tune in:

Food that Tells a Story: South Africa's cuisine is a melting pot of cultures, with influences from Malay, Indian, Dutch, and German settlers all simmering together. Each episode dives into this rich tapestry, showing you how food connects people and places.

Meet the Real South Africa: Forget tourist traps. This show takes you on a journey with local heroes, from passionate farmers tending modular micro-farms to Zulu villagers sharing their traditional cooking secrets. Prepare for some profound, heartwarming moments!
Feast for the Eyes (and Stomach): Food Trail: South Africa isn't just about the food (though that's a big part). The show boasts breathtaking visuals, with stunning shots of South Africa's diverse landscapes—think epic desserts, lush vineyards, and majestic mountains—all providing the backdrop for your culinary adventure.

Here's a Taste of What Awaits:

Episode 1: Cape Town Cravings: Explore the vibrant city, sample exotic produce at a bustling market, and savour a steaming Cape Malay Curry.
Episode 2: Cape Coast Capers: Travel the scenic coast, discover inspiring micro-farming projects, and learn how to braai a whole fish, open (barbecue) at a stunning nature reserve.
Episode 3: Wine & Dine in Wine Country: Get lost in the heart of South Africa's famous wine region, sip on Pinotage and the best Ratafia wines, and learn to make the classic Bobotie dish (think a savoury, spiced meat pie).

(And that's just the beginning! We don't want to spoil all the delicious surprises...)

Food Trail: South Africa (Season 1) is more than a show; it's an invitation to explore a vibrant country through its soul-satisfying food and the warm hospitality of its people. So, grab your metaphorical (or literal) fork and embark on a delicious journey every Friday at 9:55 PM (GMT+8) starting March 29th on Global Trekker!
