Food lovers and travel buffs are in for a sensory treat as Astro’s highly anticipated food travelogue, ‘Rasikka Rusikka Reloaded’, returns for its eighth season this August. Set to premiere on 8th August at 9PM on Astro Vinmeen (Channel 202), the new season promises an even richer exploration of Malaysia’s vibrant food culture.
Airing every Friday at 9PM across multiple platforms, including TV, Astro GO, On Demand, and sooka, ‘Rasikka Rusikka Reloaded’ continues to blend travel, storytelling, and culinary discovery in an engaging 27-episode journey across the country.
A New Thematic Twist
This season, creator and host Bala Ganapathi William (BGW) brings a fresh perspective to this beloved series by introducing a thematic-based food exploration format, a first in the show’s history. From roadside stalls to fine dining restaurants, Season 8 promises to dive deep into the soul of Malaysia’s most iconic dishes, offering a complete spectrum of flavors, cultures, and culinary styles.
Each episode will spotlight a unique theme, ranging from Malaysia’s national pride Nasi Lemak to vegetarian and non-vegetarian delicacies, cheesy indulgences, midnight comfort foods, authentic Nasi Kandar, banana leaf meals, oceanic seafood delights, gourmet burgers, grilled bites, rich Briyani dishes, and noodle-based creations, among many others.
From Street Bites to Luxe Plates
What sets ‘Rasikka Rusikka Reloaded’ apart is its ability to showcase both ends of the culinary spectrum. Viewers can expect to witness the contrast between humble, heartwarming meals from roadside hawkers and the grandeur of gourmet dishes in Malaysia’s finest restaurants. It’s a tribute to how food in Malaysia transcends class, culture, and geography.
With BGW once again at the helm, serving as a director, producer, and host, the series continues to offer personal, entertaining, and insightful storytelling. His enthusiasm for local culture and cuisine, combined with his charisma and wit, makes every episode more than just a food tour– it’s a cultural experience.
