Restaurant Reviews by Uncle Roger

Pะตั‚ Mark Popup

London, United Kingdom โ€” Thai

Uncle Roger visits Pet Mark's popup in Soho and tries their signature spicy beef and crispy egg dish. While impressed with the crispy texture and bold flavors, he notes it doesn't quite match his own restaurant Kawan by Uncle Roger, which is opening soon in London.

Auntie Jay So's Papaya Salad Stand

Bangkok, Thailand โ€” Thai Street Food

Uncle Roger visits Auntie Jay So, a legendary Bangkok street food vendor famous for her exceptional papaya salad. He watches her prepare the dish from scratch, showcasing her techniques with traditional pestle and mortar, premium ingredients, and fearless knife skills. The result is an authentic, spicy, umami-rich papaya salad that lives up to its legendary reputation.

Pal Market

Honolulu, United States โ€” Hawaiian Poke

Uncle Roger visits Pal Market in Hawaii to review their poke bowls instead of sushi. He praises the incredibly fresh spicy salmon and spicy ahi tuna, the simplicity of the preparations, and complementary sides like ube rice pudding and passion fruit drinks. The restaurant, family-owned since 1968, impresses with its quality and confidence in its classic offerings.

Jay Fai

Los Angeles, United States โ€” Thai

Uncle Roger visits Jay Fai in Los Angeles and praises it as the best Thai food in LA. He raves about their signature grilled chicken wings, papaya salad (som tum) with superior ingredient quality, and traditional grilled catfish, stating that every component tastes fresher and better than American versions.

Kawwan

London, United Kingdom โ€” Malaysian

Uncle Roger reviews his own Malaysian restaurant Kawwan in London's Chinatown with pride and self-deprecating humor. The food is exceptional with standout dishes including an addictive spiced fried rice, charred rumor wings, and creative desserts, though the casual interior design doesn't match the premium ingredients and mid-range pricing.
