Star Vs Food Malaysia sees chaos ensuing in the kitchen, as the celebrities struggle to whip up delicious cuisine and try to hone their craft. Speaking about the show, Bront Palarae said in a statement, The experience of cooking Tempoyak and Gulai Daun Pucuk Paku was unparalleled as I was on the knifes edge this time unlike enjoying my meal in the restaurant. I was nervous but Chef Ismails passion encouraged me and helped my confidence grow. In the promo, you can see I was struggling to manually peel the coconut husk to get the grated coconut for dishes and the experience is priceless.
Star Vs Food Malaysia premieres every Saturday and Sunday at 12pm on PRIMEtime (Ch 704) and can be streamed on Astro GO and On Demand.
