In this episode, Adam is in search of Singapore's best vegetable dishes. His journey kicks off with a very Singaporean breakfast at the Singapore Zoo. He first meets and greets the resident orangutan population and then finds a quiet corner of the zoo to show us how to prepare a Hainanese breakfast favourite – kaya toast with half-cooked eggs and Hainanese coffee.

In his quest to find the best ingredients for his banquet dinner, Adam Liaw visits a colourful fruit and veg market in Geylang and a Michelin-starred restaurant that's doing extraordinary things with the humble tomato. With the Salute to Singapore banquet dinner only weeks away, Adam heads into the test kitchen to make a dish that he used to enjoy as a child, lei cha... which is a mixture of different vegetables mixed together with rice and a tea poured over the top.

Adam Liaw discovers the sweeter side to Singapore's culinary scene, sampling everything from local hawker creations and homemade Peranakan kuehs, to exquisitely created restaurant dishes that are almost too beautiful to eat. Adam also makes time for a pit stop at Raffles Hotel where he enjoys the iconic Singapore Sling, considered the nation's national drink.
