Love him or hate him, there’s no denying that Uncle Roger knows how to do a grand reveal on social media. The 33-year-old Malaysian comedian, whose real name is Nigel Ng, shot to fame aggressively critiquing BBC Food’s egg fried rice recipe in a mock Cantonese accent, and later made netizens all over the world go awww when he went IG-official with his girlfriend earlier this year.
