In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, people were forced to stay in their homes and watch endless content for days provided by creators such as Nigel Ng. While the name Nigel Ng Kin-Ju may not ring any bells, hearing the name Uncle Roger would bring you back to the memories of yesteryear.
Known for his quirky and humorous take on famous and respected chefs’ videos of cooking Asian food, he broke the internet and became a celebrated personality in a few months. Although he critiques all types of people having their impression of Asian cuisine, he is most notable for judging Westerners on how they cook the staple food of Easterners known as rice.
Using the character of a middle-aged man with heavy Cantonese diction and accent, he promotes and is proud of the Southeast Asian heritage that he had grown up with. Because of how he deliberately roasts the likes of Jamie Oliver, he immediately got the attention and the laugh of the masses which further boosted his internet fame.
Today, his recognition brought him to the international stage, with networks like BBC and Comedy Central inviting him to their home countries to be interviewed. He still makes videos on the side and makes millions of people laugh their worries away by watching him, roast chefs.

He graduated back in 2014 and has a degree in Engineering and Philosophy from Northwestern University in Illinois. It is already known that his content mainly revolves around people who do not understand Southeast Asian culture and, in the process, educates them about their legacy.
