Just a heads up - we’re aware that Elizabeth Haigh’s book, referenced in this video, has been removed from sale following allegations of plagiarism. This is the best article we’ve seen that discusses the topic in great detail, and urge people to read it: london.eater.com/22720370/makan-cookbook-plagiarism-elizabeth-haigh-sharon-wee-nonya-kitchen
Thank you for this update. It's not obvious that you would say something, but it's important and I am glad that you did!
Thank you for addressing it!
@@guitarfrozenintime Google says there are 9 types of laksa, the lady is a plagiarist and a thief but she's not wrong about everything
@@guitarfrozenintime are you singaporean?
@@emilymulcahy just the big ones there is one original and different styles in that
I feel like the boys were NOT ready for this level of roasting. I love it.
I still hear them crying! -_-' lol
They got so scared every single time XDDDDDD
🤣🤣🤣🤣 they cant concentrate because auncle roger is there. 🤣🤣🤣
😂
That's how our parents and older relatives roast us every time so we are immune.
"It's not me you need to convince, it's the Michelin star chef and a comedian who build his career around rice." I can feel that punchline on my gut. On a side note, I applaud the the team's bravery to step out of their comfort zone and being open to constructive feedback. This deserves my like, comment, subscribe, and share.
That was constructive feedback? The guys got tormented for an hour it seemed like nobody was happy.
@@alleosussquirt8041 If you can look past the roasting, which is just a comedic act, you can learn from both judges. They know what they are talking about. Plus, sortedfood is aware of this comedic style. If they are uncomfortable, they can choose other youtubers to collaborate with. Uncle Roger is not the only youtubers with millions of subscribers.
Errrrrrrrrrff
constructive roasting you mean?
@@TurquoiseTalks Uncle Roger is roasting, but Auntie Liz is giving constructive feedback.
"not bad" and "ok" are the greatest compliments you'll get from uncle roger
He says "it good" also sometimes bruh
Foiyuh!
no, FUIYOOH is the best thing you get from him
Actually the biggest compliment you can get from Uncle Roger is Fuiyoh
No the best is uncle
The both of them looked genuinely terrified the entire time. No one wants an Uncle Roger roast..lol
when you've seen the carnage he's done to other accomplished chefs, you really don't
Uncle Roger roast is like a silent but deadly version of Gordon's destructive and disastrous roast.
@@VixeyTeh absolutely agree!
@@ryujisusapphire9511 uncle Roger is not angry, he's just disappointed. Except if you're Jaime Oliver lol
@@Some2somewhere In which case, he's hit the rock bottom of despair.
the amount of times Ben looked over at Barry with the expression “stop talking you’re embarrassing me in front of the experts”
Nothing Barry said was as embarrassing as Ben throwing away their rice cooker lol

Ben was just mad cause he fucked up too
TFW you know people can see through the BS but you can't stop yourself from talking.
Do I sense Infinity War reference? XD
i love that jamie oliver is still being roasted even over here. nice
That’s uncle roger for u
Uncle Roger roasts Jamie Oliver in most videos that isn't Mr Chili Jam related

Never heard of Uncle Roger until this video but "Asian parents love saucepans more than children" cannot be closer to the truth and I am deceased.

@@SparkShadow212 such a cry baby. you can cry while watching your kdrama.
I have to give props to both Jamie and Barry. Cooking for a Michelin star chef and someone who is known for picking apart the type of dishes you have to cook adds a whole new layer to difficulty. That you are willing to out yourselves out there and learn is entertaining yes but more so - admirable!
Why is nobody talking about Jamie pulling the faucet up with the words “Blame him.”? 🤣 That was amazing.

So hygienic cooking in a kitchen without water in the sink...

"Why do you need a rice cooker when you can have packet rice?"

@@graceannfrago9562 rice is the first thing I learn to cook
You can somehow feel that a part of him inside died a little bit after hearing that
Ben throws away the rice cooker.
Barry doesn't even cook rice.

Not the best results you could hope for from a rice battle lmfaoo
Fiyooo I didn't throw 🙂

@@carolerobbins9522You can also see Uncle Roger in agony as Liz tries to help him hold it together after the cardinal sins against rice as committed.
And the set’s sink not working even more painful.
"Uncle Roger dont like to try wrong thing"
Broke me 💀😆
It's not just that Ben threw away the rice cooker. It's that they arranged this challenge and no one ran out and got a new one.
If Barry had cooked a rice dish, which he should have, then they will need 2 rice cookers though

I've been cooking for 30 years and still don't have the spine to take on Chinese, Japanese, Tai, Singaporian or Malaysian dishes! I really want to get to a point where I can travel and just learn from the experts in those countries.
@@pet.me102 True, but I'm also a historian and photography nut, so the travel would be there as a dream even without the food. And I do have friends here I can reach out to, sadly, they're all too far for me to travel right now, but who knows, I may find someone closer.
@@SheepdogSmokey Dude Chinese food isn't that hard. I a white guy from the deep south have learned to cook Chinese food well enough that Chinese friends have no complaints. It's easy just find a recipe from a chef from the region and follow it to a T then once you start understanding the flavor profiles you can work from there.
Love how uncle roger and auntie liz being strict and didn't care abt their over exaggerated compliments of their own dishes.
I enjoyed this so much. As Indonesian, I can tell that their efforts are really good. All the Asian ingredients: pandan, lemongrass, shrimp paste, anchovy, banana leave, shallot, tamarind, etc. Well done you guys!!!
"You cannot make up badges on the spot" - Barry, owner of the squid badge.
I'm going to give Barry some credit and assume that that's why he said it.
Translation: HE can't, but BARRY can
I mean, he made that badge way before the battle started.
i think the problem is, he can't change his target badge on the spot, because barry aimed for the squid (Special ingredients) badge from the start, which is kinda okay(?) since squid is pretty hard to prepare
Hybrid Pizza battle plating badge.
"it's just rice noodles don't be scared" LMAO
also, the sighs and constant disappointment in this video just reminds me of my very asian family gathering
My asian family gathering is just a lot of drinking and also a pinch of my relatives telling me I have grown taller and wider
The extreme of asian family gathering, you either be acknowledged for reaching their standards or you face contempt and disappointment
Luckily I don't get sighs from my family gatherings
My distant relatives just ask stuff like "do you have a job", "do you have a girlfriend", "when do you plan to get married" etc
And I just give the good old smile and nod

This is my mom watching my poor attempts at cooking, and my dad when he observes me driving. -_-"
About the ONLY thing I do consistently right is make rice in a rice cooker. XD
Jamie going "Don't breathe out like that - that was such a sigh" in the middle of his sentence and being genuinely terrified was absolutely hilarious XD
2 minutes into the video and when he asks uncle roger "who have been your favourite or worst dishes and chefs to review" we already knew the answer

I can’t imagine the pressure of cooking a type of cuisine that you’re unfamiliar with and then being judged by experts who have been eating it their whole lives! Kudos to the boys for taking on this challenge, taking the critiques well, and learning new things surrounding Singaporean/Malaysian cuisine!
I agree with you. a lot of revision and study needs to be done before starting, because of the cuisine they are unfamiliar with
well one is a chef yes the other is a comedian. and its all entertainment. no one is mad over their comments if you watch any of his videos its all over the top like this and i think sorted knows that. but i could be mistaking what you mean it just seems like some people are taking there comments to seriously and hating on them for no reason.
@@TheGoldenCulture its okay OP was saying how they took the crituques well, and all in all, no hate and all fun
These guys already made most steps correct. Really nice cook!
At least they didn't do Crispy Rendang
this is actually a new format of judging, if i'm not mistaken.
critique not just the food, but the technique, straight from the cooking process.
Like a masterchef show
really nice
Yeah but we don't watch Sorted for MasterChef style stuff though, we watch it for 3 normal foodies and 2(/1) chef(s). All I got out of this was a michelin starred chef having not much to do in the process, not talking even a fraction as much as Uncle Roger, and everybody dreading when the duo would walk over and try to make some painfully forced joke out of it all.
@@alleosussquirt8041 speak for yourself
They have done this before in different variations. My favourite was the episode with the two Italian chefs.
@@alleosussquirt8041 who is "we" that you're talking about?
i like experimentation on contents like this
It's better
The combination of Liz and Uncle Roger was perfect. Liz has a genuine knowledge and expertise in the culinary industry but most specifically in her heritages’ dishes and the ingredients involved and Uncle Roger is a comedic genius with a natural camera presence by tapping into the stereotypes that he is proud of and has made a career from using those things to create an online personality with a large following and be comfortable enough to make jokes about those things and adopt these stereotypes which could be considered offensive and inappropriate in this day and age to provide humour and entertainment as well as having a decent level of knowledge in the kitchen as well. They’re a special guest combo that we didn’t know would ever happen but it is one that we needed after their chemistry together and with the guys took this video from a typically chaotic yet as normal entertaining video to a quality, energetic banger
That and Liz knows Roger well enough to help keep him from wanting to give what-for to them too. Throwing out the rice cooker and using packet rice were two cardinal sins against Roger’s “rice purist” tendencies (you can see his pain).
Love how Sorted Food guys call the dish Singaporean while Uncle Roger calls them Malaysian food/ingredients. I can imagine Uncle Roger's internal screaming wanting to correct them in their faces but at the same time doesn't want to start another war between nations lmao.
The dishes shown here are shared between the two countries’ cultures, so in this case, using Singaporean/Malaysian interchangeably is fine!
@@poissony
Yes, but definitely curry powder should stay far away from nasi lemak.
“We don’t buy banana leaf from the store, we steal it from neighbour.”
Lmao so true, my mom who literally took care of the banana tree in our garden, literally gone in few days. I’m like wtf ppl. Grow your own.
Also curry leaf
Pandan leaf as well! Literally plucked straight from the pots in the garden. LOL
Facts ^
Lol at this point, any leaves or fruits or veggies in your garden that can be use to cook all stolen by neighbours 😂 (pls laugh with me)
All jokes aside, at least please ask before take it away from our own property geez. Where is the common sense of humanity.
@@aokurarii7086 I've been that person - if the fruit is hanging over the street. (I was a kid?) Rambutan and mangos YES!
damn at least my neighbours ask first
Barry and Jamie are throwing around the words authentically and traditionally. That won’t go wrong. It just can’t. 😉

i love the fact that uncle rodger has the minimal amout of cooking knowledge yet is so deep in food culture
he is malaysian as I am. we have an incredible mix of food cultures in our country that goes back more than 600 years. everyone is a self-confessed food expert and a food critic. we will also travel long distances for something as simple our favourite breakfast. we also constantly debate about who has the best this or that.

Yep. True. Confirmed. 😂
Can also confirm is true xP
When this was said, I thought, well, she is an Asian parent...does she love saucepan more than her kid?
Oh my God, so true

saucepan & tupperware.. Try lossing one of this and you will get disown
Uncle Roger is hilarious!
I’m going to be watching Uncle Roger from now on, thanks for bringing him in!!
Same here! I googled his videos and he’s very funny 🤣
Uncle Rodger is destroying them and I love it! “Why don’t you throw away nephew Ben?” 🤣
I'm sure Ben doing that would have warranted a leg being put down.
Hiyaaaa plz don't throw me away laaaa 😭
I've been wondering for a while why you guys haven't been using that rice cooker from a few years back. They're life changers!
Only if you eat rice on like a regular, day-to-day basis. If you eat like a rice dish, max, once a week, would you really want to go and spend extra money for a gadget specifically designed for that purpose, or would you just go throw it in a pot and boil it?
@@oneblacksun Once a week is like 50 times a year and 1/7 of your life so why not make it easy and perfect?
@@oneblacksun I use my rice cooker more often than my toaster. Both are justified.
@@oneblacksun 13 gdp for easy good rice that takes like no work 50 times a year or more i would call that a good deal
@@oneblacksun theyre dirt cheap and easy, terrible excuse
These gentlemen trying to reason with Uncle Roger had me laughing the whole time.
I'd watch this show format every day. Uncle Roger and Auntie Liz are an amazing combo. You guys are great sports too. Love this video. Would give two thumbs up if I could.
"Asian parents love saucepan more than children" the TRUE logic that we can't denied as Asians 😂😂😂😂
I literally went "Mmm yeah true" at that part 😂
I just can laugh bout it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still get the 'look' from my mom when I use metal spoon on non-stick pan... I am in my late 30s BTW 😂
but saucepan never beats tupperware
i still scare to borrow my mom tupperware even i can get her better version if i lose or broke its
@@KcliberXD it means, asian moms love their tupperware more than their children 😂

The level of plot twist is amazing
And when you think about it, probably good strategy. 😂
Soooo in a Rice Challenge a contestant used noodles from another country for a different dish... what happens next time you have a Big Breakfast challenge Jamie should shoot at his Prosecco badge?
They were very brave to have uncle Roger in person, the roasting was nuclear 😂
The chemistry between you all! More with them please
"asian parents love saucepan more than children", i second that.
God yes!! We’re Indian, i can certainly agree with that statement. Saucepans, miscellaneous plastic boxes & shopping bags are all loved more than children
Also, Tupperware and Pyrex
While I don't have kids, I've yelled at roommates for using saucepans the wrong way. 👏👏👏
Italians too. My nan would smack me with a wooden spoon if I dared to ruin one of her pan 😂😂
Asian parents love anything more than children 🤣
The dichotomy of the Michelin star chef and Uncle Roger personality has me DYING 💀💀
I enjoyed very much and appreciated these guys ability to take a roasting. As chefs we can always find ways to improve our cooking.
Not the Asia in me, i'm from Vietnam, cried when i heard of package rice. I once bought instant, store bought, microwave kimchi rice, and i regret it to my dying day🥲
I want to hear more from Elizabeth. She seems properly supportive of the effort, and could teach them a load.
just wanted to hijack this comment so say how I hate the memeoverload in this video with UncleWojer.
Load of ol' crap, Sorted. Get a grip!
@@dizzydazed8055 what even is this comment
@@dizzydazed8055 yes!!!
@@dizzydazed8055 ok, we get it, uncle roger is strict, but that’s the point. He is relatable, and has experience. Just because he sticks to the recipie, he isn’t bad. And just because you didn’t grow up in a Asian household, doesn’t mean others didn’t.
@@eliaschen7680 Uncle Roger isn't that good a judge. If you realised Nigel was saying "malaysian" a lot but Singapore and Malaysia have vastly different interpretations on what each dish tastes like even with the shared base. Sambal also isn't something you can critique as every chef and household uses different recipes. Elizabeth was amazing, having Uncle Roger the character and not Nigel Ng the comedian was a poor choice imo
As a Malaysian, I must say I'm impressed with Barry's & Jamie's first attempt in creating these dishes. I find the nasi lemak is the trickiest type of rice to cook, as the coconut milk(santan) gets burnt easily under fire, or it may stop the rice cooker from cooking leading to undercook rice. My family's trick is to steam the nasi lemak, which gives a more fluffy texture, and each grain of rice will not stick. Pickled vegetables to pair with nasi lemak is called Achar.
As for laksa, personally it's a very subjective dish to judge, just because in Malaysia, each state will have their own method of cooking laksa. Uncle Roger is comparing it to laksa that has a layer of oil on top, I presume he's comparing it to Kuala Lumpur's style of laksa.
All in all great job Sorted Food!!! Always love to watch kitchen gadget reviews & pretentious or not ingredient reviews from you guys!!! :D
For the nasi lemak, I always just use the rice cooker, and once it's cooked, check the rice if it's undercooked, and if it it, press cook again.
A rice cooker is brilliant in that it checks when the rice is done by checking the pot's temperature, which would be higher if no water is in it as water is a bad heat conductor. Although in the case of nasi lemak, the boiling point for the mixture might have changed due to using coconut milk, so the rice cooker might have turned itself off prematurely.
@@anasazmi8554 It's not that water is a bad heat conductor but water boils at 100°C. As long as there's water you can be sure that it's not more than 100°C. Once all the water has converted to steam (steam is also 100°C) and the steam disperses in air the contents of the pot can go higher than 100°C. This is why you can boil water in a paper cup
@@slebetman ah, you're right. Duh, I forgot basic physics when I wrote that. Thanks for correcting me!
Nasi lemak with achar.. that is new to my ears. Which state in malaysia serves this?
As a Malaysian, I don't think i know a single soul eating their nasi lemak with achar in Malaysia 😂 Nasi Dagang or Nasi Minyak is a must though.
Absolutely fun watching this! It has everything! Learning to cook some classic dishes, light entertainment throughout and surprisingly picking up so many tips along the way. Great and well done!!
Ben being all "Pickles ain't right here" is priceless when you realize that Sorted's own Nasi Lemak recipe includes quickpickled cucumber ribbons :P
Nephew Ben, Nephew Ben - first the rice cooker now this :P

"Nobody knows Macademian nut in Malaysia"
I can vouch for Uncle Roger for that
Depends on the crowd, everyone around me knows Macadamia but it is too expensive to indulge. Unfortunately, it is my favourite nut.
What's a Macadamia nut again? 🤣
Actually it used to be very popular in Viet Nam for a while, but now our favorite nuts are still peanuts and cashews
I think Macadamian nuts have become quite popular in Malaysia (but not as common due to how expensive it is). You can find it sold by common brands nut snacks in petrol stations, pretty common element/flavour for ‘premier’ but domestic brands ice creams, or even the most famous Macadamian nuts product in Malaysia, the White Chocolate & Macadamian nuts cake from Secret Recipe.
I know them from Secret Recipe's cakes
3 dishes were prepared here:
1) Laksa
2) Nasi Lemak, and

3) Roasted Food Show Hosts, slightly charred. Hahahaha
Loved this episode!
I'm a year late but this roasting was amazingly funny AF. And it highlights traditional food and the concepts. Love ❤️ this.
i think all the criticism they got could all be resolved by one thing : to NOT saying their food is authentic
I don't think even that could have saved Barry when he got out the coriander oil
Authentic or not that's not gonna save the rice
Not really. Western people like to westernize Eastern food according to preference. Nothing wrong with that. But putting in too much gimmicks and changing too many things are known as trying too hard. When dish ruined or borderline become another kind of dish, critiques will come in. More is not always better. These 2 guys are doing pretty well.
Just using the words traditional, authentic or classically automatically ruin the dish as they’re then held to a higher standard. Best phrase to use Is their own interpretation on a a particular dish.
Agree, they can say modified.. Besides use excuse about difficult to find right Ingredients in their country so they have to improvised..
Lmao Barry expecting Asians to go "Ooooh, wow" at pretentious ingredients
Us Asians get the cheapest thing and make the best of it!
And also like using leftovers
An oversimplification of events. But yes
@@Mitaka-Asa he's out of line but he's right.
At least in Indian I have never heard of coriander oil. Coriander yes, coriander powder yes, coriander seeds, not often but yes, oil never. But maybe it was good and they just ignored it since they didn't expect it.
We can turn shit edible
4:44 I’m white and my mom would have killed me too if I used a metal spoon in a nonstick pan. And after I’m dead she would have made me go to the store to buy her a new one after destroying the old one with the metal spoon.
You buying a new one I'm already dead 💀
I didn't see this when it came out so you can believe my true excitement to see that my repeated asking for a video with Uncle Roger had come out!! Thanks for listening to fans!! 💕 Proud to be a sorted follower for over 9 years!
Yeah, I know that feeling. It's already been 9 years is it? Gosh how time flies.
omg, the criticism! Ben's been keeping the boys shielded with his, as James would say, compliment sandwiches, but she did not hold back at any step XD

Amazed that Barry didn’t lose within the first few minutes after demonstrating he knows nothing about Laksa 😂
6:22 is the funniest place to start because uncle roger be like: throw away nephew Ben instead
To be fair, Uncle Roger could have gifted two rice cookers at start of this episode, one to each team.
Imagine the funsies?!?
I laughed so hard when barry pulled out 'coriander oil'.
“That liquid is all my ancestors tears”. I’m dead…
🤣
I saw your comment two seconds before he said it. We thought James was savage...?!
I’m glad you didn’t take down the video because of the situation with Elizabeth’s book because it is hilarious and done well.
Because, yes, something scandalous is happening but she can cook (she has a Michelin star for a reason, regardless) but that doesn’t mean the whole video has to be taken down because of it.
I agree, it's sad she plagiarized so much. But it certainly doesn't take away from her cooking skills which she proved time and again. People tend to only see the bad things, and forget about all the achievements a person has.

Ben: "It's a rice battle"
Barry: "I'm doing noodles"
... classic
Barry is not technically wrong. "Rice noodles" he is working with
@@lancengo really? Is chicken flavored rice a chicken dish? 🤔
@@iluvdissheet well, in asia especially, "chicken rice" is consider a dish that has minimal wastage. The water use to boil the chicken will often be use to cook the rice together with excess fats removed from the chicken prior cooking. With that you get a flavoured rice. We usually serve the chicken boneless so that the remaining carcass can be boiled into a light soup to be serve on the sides. On by the way, this dish does not originate from China. Its probably invented by poor chinese immigrant whose trying to maximise the use of ingredients.
@@lancengo sure but that dish has chicken it in.
I'm talking about taking chicken stock or a chicken flavored bullion cube to season the water to make chicken flavored rice. I dont consider that a chicken dish. In that same way, I dont consider rice noodles a rice dish but maybe others do.
I mean also typically Barry does something to present a dish outside challenge parameters and win.
Jamie "I put paella in a burrito" Spafford when told nobody puts dressing on cucumbers at 9:45..."So for my dressing" 😂😂
and then being surprised when noone touched it
I didn't understand the objection to that - just because its not exactly how Nigel Ng's family make it doesn't make it any less of an ok thing to put on the plate.

@@yomama8212 Ok so some folk do it that way, but that doesn't mean its any less valid to make the dish SLIGHTLY differently.
@@mordecai2005 lol sure
16:16 "From cooking the sambal" has had me creasing non-stop for 12 hours
One of the best collabs and food video's ive seen so far! I truely loved this one and lughed really hard!
Honestly, I enjoyed watching this a lot but simultaneously I felt so so sorry for Barry and Jamie XD They must have been under an immense pressure, absolutely no doubt. Proud of you guys!
they lost a lot of respect here. I want authenticity, not memes. What a bunch of dicks.
I can see the fear in their eyes lol
Responsibles taken when you claib 'traditional' and 'authentic'
@@dizzydazed8055 gonna cry lad?
Ben didnt toss the rice cooker, James took it with him when he left.
They gave it to James as a going away present 🎁 🤣🤣🤣
Hen congming
Wait James is gone?
@@GundamGokuTV Yeah he went and got a 'real job' in a kitchen to challenge himself and learn new things. He said he'll be back occasionally, for gadget videos especially.
When they threw him out the door for wanting a 'real' job 🤣
Possibly the most exciting episode yet. Uncle Roger and aunt Lizzy really put on the heat.
Also: where your rice cooker? Where your wok?
1:41 watching Jamie laugh at Barry being told he's already fucked up before he started cooking is part of my daily ritual now
I fell in love with Liz at 12:40 when she said that usually the banana leaf is heated to make it more pliable and also adds to aroma of the dish. I am from interior Tamil Nadu in India and for all our long journeys we used to pack food in heated banana leaves. It tastes delicious!
banana and pandan leaves are the best fragrant leaves
nice tips, thank you
I remember travelling in trains for holidays where my mom use to pack iddlies and chilli powder in banana leaf. Elai sapadu is nostalgic
Wow, feeling great for someone to mention from south indian , especially tamil nadu side😭👌🏻
Correctu
the whole faucet thing reminds me last year they were going to build an actual working cooking studio- what ever happened to that other than covid lol
I mean, I feel like covid is a pretty legit explanation lol
Not a collab I expected, but definitely an enjoyable one!
"Aaasian parent love sauce pan more than chiiildren."
"It's true."
... Isn't she married... with kids? 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
So you guys have all sorts of fancy gadgets you test but you never tested the things you can cook in a rice cooker?!?!
THIS!!!!!
So true! I make things other than rice in my rice cooker all the time.
Salmon is my go to.

@@bjornArk0 Meanwhile, over at Liz's channel: \*throws down lav mic* "I didn't build up my career as a Michelin star chef to show you how to cook rice in a saucepan!"
Future video prediction: Ben does “A Chef Tests: Rice Maker” and all the different things you can do with it.
That's actually a GREAT suggestion since not all rice cookers are the same.
cook rice, steam veggies, make black garlic...
@@gozerthegozarian9500 I have a very fancy Zojirushi model, and it says you can make cake in it!
@@sdrazzirg Oooh, that sounds so cool! I've heard that there are also models that can make yoghurt and amazake and such, but I expect those are super-fancy...
@@gozerthegozarian9500 Is it really a rice cooker if it can cook a hundred and one things as well?
Tips for not over cooking the rice is to cook the coconut milk with pandan leave separately (with shallots, ginger, lemongrass and salt) until fragrance. Then put them in rice cooker.
3:13 At least he bothered to find out what actual Malaysian nasi lemak is. This is my favorite version to have.
"Again...blame him", that caught me by surprise that I almost spit out my coffee...that was hilarious 🤣.
bruh if uncle roger and liz were not there they would never have used shallots
well, i think it's a bit of culture-shock, kinda, for the packet rice thing. i'm from indonesia, having freshly cooked rice is everything to us. where i'm from we can eat freshly made rice, sambal and salted fish, and call it a feast. bcs the simplicity of warm rice with those ingredients are what makes it so good. i can even eat three portion of just those three things alone in a single sitting.
having packet rice is like having frozen fish that has been stored in a fridge for days and then cooked it. it's just not the same thing as having fresh ones from rice cooker. the taste is bleh. my mom would berate me if i ever have packet rice while knowing full-well i have rice cooker and can cook on my own.
8:04 the most vicious burn
Barry: if this wasn't fancy enough, I'm going to top it off with some coriander oil.
Both guest judges: immediate groan.
So what have we learned today? Among others, Barry and Jamie should never be allowed to call anything traditional and/or authentic ever again.
I think Jamie should have learned his lesson from the Paella incident
We learned they support the ccp and genocide
@@augustussquiggles770 Uncle Roger isn't Chinese, racist.
it's a joke
@@garretth8224 well he definitely wants to appease the CCP
There's prove if you want to dig enough
very good pick for collaboration. very entertaining at the same time, so much information how to make proper dishes. keep up and good work guys
The depth of knowledge uncle Roger has is crazy
Barry: "authentic"
Jamie: "no no no you'll get death threats no"
edit: oh Jamie no not you too
I'm so happy someone finally called them out for constantly using metal utensils with nonstick pans
Uncle Roger is truly a gifted comedian. His wit is as fast and scorching as lightning. He’s the kind of guy I would purposely do stupid things around just to laugh at him ripping me up.
To hear the same three catchphrases back to back?
I appreciate seeing the Makan cook book in back right the entire time...
Bit awkward given the plagiarism that's come to light
I really like how Sorted Food isn’t scared to cook food from all cuisines and teach us through their mistakes!
Aha! Is 'Mistake Cooking' show. I want to watch all episodes now. We all learn from mistakes, yes?
Barry: Why get a rice cooker... packet rice... so convenient.
Me: *gets heartburn* My ancestors are crying
OMG Uncle Robert is a hoot!! You need to bring him back to judge some future battles
Such a fun episode. Learnt a lot too. Loved it!
