Nigel Ng a.k.a. Uncle Roger

Malaysian comedian, restaurateur, and certified king of the rice cooker. Nigel rose to internet fame through his wildly popular character Uncle Roger, whose loving-but-no-nonsense critiques of Western Asian cooking turned a simple egg fried rice into a global movement.

Today he runs Kawan by Uncle Roger in London and FUIYOH! It's Uncle Roger in Malaysia, and toured his stand-up special The HAIYAA Special to over 100,000 fans worldwide. He lives in Los Angeles. Don't Mess Up Your Rice is his first cookbook.
