Eat by Ear

Eat by Ear is the world's first docu-dramedy podcast about food in Singapore. Each episode blends hawker-chefs’ secrets and stories, in their own voices, with a tender narrative stream of culinary consciousness. This sonic feast serves up the roaring stir-fry flame, the hissing steam, the bubbling broth interwoven with the stacking of melamine plates, the clinking of coffee spoons, and the delightful rojak of everyday languages. It’s the Singapore you think you know but have never heard.

If food is your love language, Eat by Ear is your poetry. If you like the Japanese food shows The Solitary Gourmet and Midnight Diner or Stephen Chow’s God of Cookery, you have found your next must-listen. Binge or savour, but heed our warning: do not consume on an empty stomach!

This podcast is a love letter to Singapore from award-winning writer-director-producer Woo Yen Yen, whose work has been featured on Netflix, HBO, and the BBC, and international award-winning sound designer Lim Tingli, whose works have screened at Cannes, Venice, Berlin and Sundance.
