Sik Fan Lah! - Palmerston North

Student and "meme queen" Abigail Leonita Masengi heads to Palmerston North in the fifth episode of this Chinese cooking series. She is shown around by local Jess Wong, who co-produces the show. The main feature of their adventures is the roasting of a whole pig in an earth oven. This can be a risky process, but "that's where the art comes in". The community turns out for the feed, including Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon. Masengi also visits a local dumpling shop, learns how to make mooncakes (the tricky traditional way!), and enjoys a meal from a Chinese-Māori chef on his family marae. 

When it's time to eat, we say 'Sik Fan Lah!'
