Kuching - City of Gastronomy.

Occasionally a project involves an entire city, with all its representatives, organisations, stakeholders, interest groups and individual citizens, all with their competing objectives and priorities. In this case, the project was part of a bid for Kuching city to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network under the banner of gastronomy, alongside 37 other cities in a global network aimed at achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals through the growth of the creative economy.
With a 20,000-word report already in production and a UNESCO mandated application form pending, the city was permitted to submit one further link to seal the success of its bid. The obvious solution was a short film, the emotive heart to complement the rational mind of the written report.
With Kuching now designated among the latest batch of 49 cities worldwide, the first in Malaysia, the short film clearly did its job!

This made me proud, hungry, and sad that I'm too far away from home to get some pansuh ayam.
