Despite the Malaysian Embassy in Cambodia’s rejection of his disparaging remarks about Cambodian food, controversial internet celebrity Nigel Ng, nicknamed Uncle Roger has issued a challenge to Cambodian chefs to change his views of Khmer food by offering him a better taste of the Kingdom’s fare.

The Malaysian comedian and self-proclaimed internet food critic has come under criticism in Laos and Cambodia after he labelled Cambodian and Lao dishes as “shitty versions of Thai food”.

“Uncle Roger! You’re talking smack about Cambodian food. I am here as a Khmer mom representing my country, my people of Cambodia, and I am up for the challenge,” Sovanna said in a Tik Tok video. “I am personally inviting you to my house in California for a home-cooked meal.”

“I am going to show you how Cambodian food is made and taste. I am expecting an apology from you to the people of Cambodia.”
