BBC Two - Exploring China: A Culinary Adventure, Episode 4

Ken Hom and Ching-He Huang make an emotional return to their ancestral homes.

Cookery series. In the final leg of their journey, Ken Hom and Ching-He Huang make an emotional return to their ancestral homes before reuniting for their final meal in Hong Kong.

China - the superpower the world fears, but few really know. Ken Hom, the godfather of Chinese cuisine, and Ching-He Huang, leading chef of the contemporary generation, together undertake an epic 3000-mile culinary adventure across China - not only to reveal its food, but its people, history, culture and soul.

In the final leg of their culinary adventure across China, Ken and Ching make an emotional return to their ancestral homes, the climax of their entire journey, before reuniting for their final meal in Hong Kong. 

They start first in the dim sum capital Guangzhou to explore the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine, the food most familiar to the west, before heading their separate ways. Ching travels across the south China sea to Taiwan where her food journey began at her grandmother's knee, while Ken cooks for relatives he hasn't seen for more than 23 years.
