The Rainbow nation of South Africa is gaining popularity year by year in China, with more and more Chinese tourists, students and businesses seeing it as their destination for travel, studies and investments. The same is true for China in the eyes of South Africans. There is a widespread thirst among Chinese and South Africans for knowledge about each other. To start up, they can get to know each other through all-too-important food.

RELISH focuses on the exchange of culinary delights, but viewers can also have a feel of the fusion between the two cultures as reflected in people’s life, education, tourism resources, business opportunities, etc.
