Purattasi, the sixth month of the Tamil calendar is an auspicious month for Hindus. During this month, several Hindu temples in Singapore provide free meals to devotees. For the first time, cameras are allowed into the kitchen of Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, one of the oldest temples in Singapore to capture the cooking of free lunch for 12,000 devotees.
Masterchef Singapore Season 1 runner-up, Genevieve Lee, steps into this gastronomic frenzy to explore a remarkable culinary rule that challenges conventional chef wisdom: preparing this enormous meal without taste-testing until it is served the following day.
