Comedian Uncle Roger reduces price of fried rice at new restaurant outlet following complaints it's too expensive

From RM18 (S$5.40) [US$4.00] at his Pavilion KL outlet to RM16 (S$4.80) at his new outlet at MyTown mall.

Earlier this year, Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, aka Uncle Roger, 33, opened his first restaurant Fuiyoh! It’s Uncle Roger in the upscale Kuala Lumpur shopping mall Pavilion KL. The KL native, who is now based in the US, recently made a trip back to Malaysia for the grand opening of his eatery’s second and third outlets in KL’s MyTown mall and Selangor’s IPC Shopping Centre. It looks like Uncle Roger has been listening to feedback from his customers.

During an interview with influencer Sam Wong, Uncle Roger revealed that he had reduced the price of his fried rice.

While business at the Pavilion outlet is still brisk, Uncle Roger explained that “people have complained that RM18 is too expensive for a plate of fried rice, though it’s an acceptable price for [the location]”.

I believe that Sam Wong is the nephew of the famous restaurateur Sum Ting Wong.

This kid had a hilarious critique of Jaime Oliver’s rendition of fried rice.

I’ve seen some of his other videos, but this stands out. Oddly enough, the bad vibes I got about Oliver’s culinary skills when I watched it coincided with financial trouble at his restaurants.

Weird post, yes. But also valuable.

At Christmas dinner last year my cousin Boopie asked me, “What is Nigel Ng up to?” I didn’t have an answer. Couldn’t even guess. That was embarrassing.

But if it comes up this year I’ll be ready.

This comment from another video about the kid’s video summed up the amateurish and slapdash quality of the Oliver production. He added sugar in the form of the “chili jam” (whatever that is) to a red hot pan, and it ran the risk of starting to burn and smoke. The guy never tested the recipe before getting the video production crew set up. Amateur hour on steroids.

[That splash of water straight from the tap is what irked me the most. You can see his chilli jam plan didn’t work as intended and jam is clumping with rice and not distributing evenly so he realized he effed up and went to the tap hoping water will liquify the jam and spread it around.]

At least it is in general/chat unlike my screw up in news... lol

I posted my latest work in Chat (it didn't quite rise to the level of a Freeper Editorial, I thought) and I clearly labeled it a Vanity.

In the keywords section, some real-life scold added these labels: belongsinchat; vanity

So I answered: 1itislabeledvanity; 2itisinchat; 3whatsyourproblem;

Apparently I have a keyword stalker now. People like that are not only scolds (that in this case, who is completely wrong), but they are cowards that hide behind keywords.

If JohnRob were to add a feature, it might be interesting to add a hoverover event to display who added a keyword. Then I could call the cowardly punk out in the thread.
