John starts his tour in the Indian city of Mumbai, where he visits Chowpatty beach for street food. John then heads to the Tiffin Tin, at a five-star hotel, and makes easy mango samosas.

John heads to Amritsar, where he visits the holy Golden Temple and learns about Sikhism. John also gets his hands dirty in a class that teaches attendees how to prepare the perfect butter chicken.

John Torode travels to Beijing to observe the traditional method of preparing Peking duck from the most loved Peking duck restaurant.

John travels to bustling Hong Kong, where he journeys through the markets and has a go at preparing steamed prawn dumplings.

John moves on to Hong Kong's modern cuisine with an introduction to cha chaan teng, a clash of cultures on a plate, and a new take on crispy pork.

Influences on Macanese cuisine come from all over the globe, and John experiences one of the spiciest dishes he's come across so far when he tries African chicken in the former Portuguese colony.
