you're covering a very interesting and tasty topic this week and next.

It's not just a tasty, but also a crispy, crunchy topping that I literally sank my teeth into. Oh, intriguing.

I'm all about the crispy and crunchy. Previously, we've had really fun chats about your delicious investigations into bread, instant noodles, and you even did a bubble tea episode for talking points. Or what will you be eating and investigating this time round?

This time it's one dish that just about anyone, anywhere in the world loves. We're talking fried chicken. Yes, American style Korean, Taiwanese. I mean, every culture has fried chicken and you know, we've got them all here in Singapore. In fact, companies like Grab Food and Foodpanda have reported that they've seen a 70 percent increase in fried chicken orders from 2019 to 2020.

Oh, that's a big increase.

Oh, that's a big increase.

But at the same time, you know how we're all trying to get healthier these days, right? So I mean, what's going on? That's what we were asking. Why do we keep coming back for more of this fried chicken, even though we know that it isn't the most healthy thing to do? And what is it about fried chicken that keeps us hooked?

I want to know, too.

I want to know, too.

So we got a whole bunch of fried chicken from some of the most popular stores here in Singapore, and I send them all to a lab for testing because I wanted to find out just how much sodium and fat is in a typical portion that we eat. And let me just say that when I saw the results, well, I was pretty shocked. Oh, I mean, I know it's bad, right? But this bad, you got to watch the show for the results. You know how people always say talk is cheap, cheap, cheap. I couldn't resist that, you could pun. But my boss then asked me and said, Hey Steve, how about you eat some fried chicken every day for two weeks and we'll see what it does to your body?
