Food Affair with Mark Wiens will kickstart a

which will see both parties collaborate on a suite
of entertainment and lifestyle content, as well as
joint marketing, to spotlight and inspire travel to

During a recent media roundtable, Wiens
was more than happy to talk about the brand
new series.

“I kind of just showed up to eat and talk,” he
claimed, drawing a distinction between the
production of his content and working with a
large production such as Food Affair.

The series is the first non-scripted food series
hosted by Wiens, as he travels Singapore in
search of the lesser known stories, personalities
and history behind Singapore’s cuisine.

“I’ve been to Singapore a number of times,
but I never really sat down with the owners of
restaurants to learn about their stories. So to me,
that was probably the biggest breakthrough;
learning the stories, learning a bit more about
the history and migration to Singapore.”

In order to convey the stories it wants to tell,
Food Affair’s episodes will feature a wide array of
guests that will join Wiens, as he – and the
audience – learns more about the distinct and
rich culinary heritage rooted in Singapore.
