FOLLOW Adam Liaw and Poh Ling Yeow journey as they travel across Australia, including Coal Creek Community Park and Museum, as they search for Australia’s national dish.
In the brand-new series Adam & Poh’s Great Australian Bites, join the dynamic duo as they cover sweeping plains, epic coastlines, and sparkling cities in search of Australia’s national dish.
Adam and Poh start their travels in the heart of Australia at Uluru, moving on to Darwin and Kakadu where they explore Australia’s original First Nations cuisine and subsequent multiculturalism.
Then travelling through regional Victoria, the pair gains further insight into the three culinary pillars of any Australian town; a pub, a bakery, and a Chinese restaurant.
They head to Tasmania to investigate the great Aussie meat pie, and in South Australia they discover how Australia’s love of café culture took Australian brunch to the world stage.
In Sydney surrounded by the icons of Australia, they look at the icons of Australian food and create a truly spectacular cake, before ending up in Canberra – our national capital – to answer once and for all what our national dish might be.
Along the way, Adam and Poh catch up with a stellar list of friends who have shaped both the culinary and cultural fabric of Australia, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, iconic artist Ken Done, South Australia’s favourite Maggie Beer, Australian politician and former Wallabies captain David Pocock, the Australian Women’s Weekly’s renowned queen of cookery Pamela Clark, celebrity chef and food icon Elizabeth Chong, TV personality Peter Everett, Australia's preeminent providore of seafood John Susman, and Executive chef and owner at Pilu At Freshwater Giovanni Pilu.
