This club will involve a short discussion about chili at Poorn Club, and then we'll all go to the famous Shanghai Chili Cook-Off together to experience an incredible food festival and one of the biggest and most famous Shanghai expat events! Your entry ticket is included with the club.

 

What makes chili such a universal comfort food? And why does almost every Western culture claim to make the best one? Is it the heat, the flavour, or the pride simmered into every pot? Let's join Nico, our Popcorn Club foodie host, for a lively and mouthwatering discussion on the global culture of chili, how this fiery dish connects people, travels across borders, and becomes a symbol of home wherever it’s cooked. We’ll explore the stories, spices, and surprising cultural roots behind chili before heading out together for a delicious adventure!

 

After our chat, we’ll dive straight into the action at Shanghai’s famous Chili Cook-Off — one of the city’s biggest and longest-running expat events, drawing food lovers, chefs, and spice enthusiasts from all over the world. Popcorn has your entry ticket and first drink covered, so just bring your curiosity (and your appetite). Expect amazing flavours, friendly competition, and a crowd buzzing with international energy. It’s the perfect blend of culture, food, and fun. Let's have an experience we'll never forget and a not-to-be-missed day for anyone who loves food, culture and good company.

为什么辣椒能成为全世界的“安慰食物”？为什么几乎每个西方国家都觉得自己做的辣椒最好吃？是因为辣度、味道，还是那一锅锅里熬出的自豪感？来和我们的美食主持人 Nico 一起聊聊辣椒的全球文化吧——这道菜是怎么跨越国界、把人连接在一起、并在每个厨房都变成“家的味道”。我们会聊聊辣椒背后的故事、香料、还有那些出乎意料的文化渊源，然后一起出发，去现场感受这场美食狂欢！
