Audra Morrice is stepping out of the MasterChef kitchen and into her own lane with Audra’s Eat, Roam, Relish, a new series for SBS Food that sends the chef-turned-host on a deeply personal journey through Borneo, starting May 28 at 9:00pm.
Produced as a food-travel hybrid with a strong cultural spine, the six-part series finds Morrice—currently on MasterChef Australia: Back to Win and a regular judge on MasterChef Singapore—diving into her family roots and the under-explored culinary traditions of Sarawak, the Malaysian state on the island of Borneo.
The premiere, titled “Old Kuching,” opens with Morrice’s return to her mother’s hometown. Once a trading post on the Sarawak River, Kuching is now a designated UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy—rich with layered influences from Malay, Chinese, Indigenous Dayak, and colonial British traditions.
But this isn’t just another dish-driven travelogue. Morrice isn’t dropping in on high-end restaurants; she’s foraging with locals, learning tribal customs, sleeping in longhouses, and cooking with families in the jungle. Along the way, she traces her own identity through food—one bowl of laksa at a time.
Audra’s Eat, Roam, Relish positions SBS Food to reach a culturally curious audience hungry for destination storytelling with heart, depth, and flavor. With its mix of intimate storytelling and immersive location shooting, it plays as much like a heritage docuseries as it does a traditional cooking show.
