The beloved love team of Marvin Agustin and Jolina Magdangal is making a comeback to make your hearts full and your stomach fuller in the latest installment of Singapore Tourism Board’s (STB) Zi Char or Char Lang.
As a special Valentine’s day treat from STB, Marvin reunited with Jolina in its third episode of Zi Char or Char Lang, where they recreate the garden city’s uncontended Zi Char dish, Chilli Crab.
Decades may have passed, but the chemistry between the iconic duo from the 90s is so evident that they easily bring all the right ingredients to make this reunion exciting for fans and foodies alike.
With equal parts informative and fun, Zi Char or Char Lang is STB’s way of introducing more Filipinos to the crazy delicious world of Zi Char. In this series, Marvin invites your favorite celebrities where they attempt to recreate the unique flavor combinations of Zi Char dishes.
Zi Char dishes, like Chilli Crab and Cereal Prawn, have put Singapore on the culinary map, and with Filipinos sharing the same love for crazy delicious pairings, it is no surprise that many may feel the itch to travel to Singapore.
However, with borders still closed, STB is bringing Singapore closer to Filipinos by letting them reimagine Singapore through efforts like Zi Char or Char Lang.
“Zi Char dishes may sound like a new concept to many Filipinos, but for Singaporeans, Zi Char has always been the go-to cuisine and due to its great value, huge portions, and comforting flavors reminiscent of grandma’s home cooking,” said Ruby Liu, STB’s area director to the Philippines.
“The good thing about Zi Char, though, is that it has humble beginnings that one can try making their own at the comforts of their home. While we wait for the borders to open, it’s the perfect way to reimagine Singapore and make it even more personal,” Liu added.
