Set to premiere on November 18 on HBO GO, Food Affair with Mark Wiens will be a six-episode series where Mark explores the abundant culinary treasures of Singapore with guests from fine dining chefs to hawker heroes. Mark has his work cut out for him since Singapore is home to more than 50 Michelin-starred establishments and over 60 Bib Gourmand restaurants, not to mention the abundant street food and hawker stalls that many frequent.

It’s undeniable that food is at the centre of all our lives, and that’s what brought us all together.”
