MOMC TV Season 1 is on Eclectic Cuisine – the specialty of Chef Johari Edrus, the most senior member of Masters of Malaysian Cuisine. The premise of eclectic cuisine is that there are no constraints on what ingredients, cooking styles and cuisines you can deploy to produce a dish. Each of our chefs in this series is tasked with creating something eclectic – and Chef Bob Adnin came up with Sambal Daging Salai (Malay-style smoked meat sambal) with Belacan Tomato Salsa in Tacos.
