Over the past month, we have brought you on the journey to Thailand and Philippines via their food. This time round, local celebrity personality Chef Bob is marrying our heritage with the international stage with this Southeast Asia-meet-West fusion recipe, featuring the Satay Goreng Slider. It’s has slightly more steps than the previous recipes we’ve shared but trust us, it’s worth every effort.
