Asian Food Channel Unveils Originals

SINGAPORE: The Asian Food Channel is gearing up to launch A Party Affair, its first locally produced program, and is planning to film its first travel reality series in the Philippines at the end of this year.

The first season of A Party Affair makes its debut on November 20. It features Singaporean chef Willin Low. The show is presented by Del Monte Asia and is co-sponsored by Kitchen Culture and SCS.

Derek Chang, the managing director of Scripps Networks Interactive for the Asia Pacific, said: “AFC is excited to launch its first Singapore based production featuring a local chef, and we couldn’t have asked for a better chef than Willin Low. Chef Willin’s personal mantra of staying true to his local heritage while incorporating western influences makes him the perfect candidate to be an AFC celebrity chef. We look forward to working with him again in the future and sharing his culinary talent with our fans.”

The channel is also planning its first reality travel show, set in the Philippines. The program, which is co-presented by the Department of Tourism Philippines, will give ten participants from across Asia the chance to compete in intense culinary and physical challenges.
