'Uncle Roger' finally meets egg fried rice lady, Hersha Patel. Will they get along?


You’ve definitely seen it by now. On July 8, Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng uploaded a video to YouTube, titled "DISGUSTED by this Egg Fried Rice Video". In it, Ng comments on BBC Food presenter Hersha Patel’s methods of cooking rice, using his comedy Uncle Roger persona.

“What she doing? What she doing? Drain the rice... oh my God! You killing me, woman!” exclaims Uncle Roger in a heavy accent, as Patel drains the rice with a colander. “This is not pasta!”
