Gary Eats is reviewing Kawan by Uncle Roger in London's Chinatown. Nigel Ng has spent years roasting every professional chef on the internet, from Jamie Oliver to Gordon Ramsay, but now his own menu is under the microscope! #GaryEats #uncleroger #Kawan #chefreacts

Does this menu genuinely earn a Fuiyoh or Haiya!

Think Gary Eats actually found a winner or is this another absolute culinary disaster? 😂 Catch all of my Gary Eats reviews and chef breakdowns in the full playlist right here 👇https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO3CAJUNoEig

Gary is one of the nicest people you find on Youtube. Very Humble, the channel started so he can share more time with his son (the Cameraman), it became very successful.

That dessert, the blue colour is from a flower. It is boiled until the colour comes out, the longer it’s boiled, the deeper the colour and it has a very light lemony flavour. The glutinous rice is then soaked in it, we usually soak half the rice we have in regular water and half in the blue, then drain and mix them together.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and those prices are about the same as what we pay even at neighborhood Chinese restaurants. Prices are high these days.

I have a respect for Gary. One video where he highly rated a little independent cafe and put his money where his mouth is - He handed the owner a load of cash so any fan of the channel who went there could mention his name and basically eat for free, trying to entice more people to support the sweet lady that owned the place. I've also seen him highlight and donate to charities.
His fan interaction during videos is always showing kindness and he encourages viewers to go and say hi if they see him.
He just seems like a very genuine guy.

Unfortunately a lot of the prices in the UK have gone through the roof no matter where you are.

@julejustjule 3 months ago

I think James if you look at other videos of London food the prices are unbelievably high.

Gordon Ramsay once said in one of his TV shows that if a dish costs $5 to make, then the restaurant has to charge at least $20 if they want to make any profit at all (considering rental fees, staff wages, stock cost, etc.)

My Nephew Lives in London and i've Been to several restaurants That Garys reviewed and agree with his reviews so my taste is in line with his and i really respect his opinion a colab with the two of you would be oustanding!

Notice how, without missing a beat, the waiter quietly got Gary another plate when he gave his to the other diner for the desert? Great service. He probably used butterfly pea powder to colour the dumpling dough - I've seen that done before.

It's a version of Nasi Goreng Kampung (Village Fried Rice) & yes, those are fried Anchovies

The blue colour isn't necessarily food colouring but natural colour from a local flower called "butterfly pea".

Gary eats finally learned that asian food is spicy if it says spicy. Better late than never.

@herberttandinata 3 months ago

Regarding the fried rice being on the wetter side it's likely because of sambal belacan (chili & shrimp paste mix) being put inside which also makes it extremely spicy (at least for non-Asians), not to mention the fried rice also has fried anchovies which're a commonplace in Southeast Asia (although the price would be rather too high for me despite being located in Chinatown which Gary noted as particularly expensive place).

Also I think that “Happy Ending” has double entendre due to being blue-ish while being ball-shaped as well (sorry, children).

8 years? James you are in for a shock next time you visit London. 😔

17:01 One of the employee that is "slacking" off, the one in chef's blacks is actually the restaurant's executive chef Daren Liew. He is also a Malaysian migrant to the UK and has helped with menu planning for numerous Chinese restaurants in the UK including Michelin star restaurant.
