Eric Khoo is making a second anthology series for HBO Asia revolving around food, 'Food Lore'.
Acclaimed Singaporean filmmaker Eric Khoo is making another anthology series for HBO Asia, after last year’s horror series Folklore, which featured ghouls and ghosts from around Asia. But this time, the theme of the new series is food, which is another subject that’s close to the heart of the self-professed horror fan.
Khoo will be the showrunner once more, and will also direct one episode. Speaking to media at HBO’s press event in Hong Kong on Monday , Khoo said his episode would be “a simple love story” about a romance between two people who come from different culinary worlds – a French chef and a Malay mee siam hawker.
“What I really felt was important for the series was the diversity of Asian food and different cultures. From day one I had to have all the episodes to have mother tongue – it had to be the language of the country. That’s when you really get the flavour of it,” Khoo added. “It’s about a mysterious woman who comes to an island and opens a food stall, and makes all the wives worry about their husbands,” Christian said. Intriguing, we must say!
