Episode 3

Overview

In this episode Luke boards the train at Ga Thap Cham where tonnes of fresh fruit are loaded like a produce market: but he has to be quick as the train waits for no one. Luke soon finds his way to Nha Trang, known for its diverse sea life and beautiful coastline. It is here he hand-catches his favourite seafood, sea urchin. Back on land, Luke explores the streets and discovers the smell of the potent tropical fruit called durian. He also tries the local dish 'banh can’ which is prepared on tiny burners on the side of the road. Heading back towards the water Luke visits Luong Son fish market where he nervously awaits approval of his chargrilled calamari dish from the local workers. Finally, Luke visits a barramundi farm where they also harvest sea grapes which inspires his last dish.
