FUIYOH! Thank you to Josh and the whole Mythical Kitchen team for having me. The food was so good 😋
It looked super good. I’m gonna have to find a way to try these foods
Mr nigel have you ever sniffed msg like it was a certain drug?
def a collab that the world needed
moar collab
Nigel hasn’t, but I did 10 years ago at uncle Roger’s party
FUIYOHHHHHH
Let’s get nick dgiovanni last meal too!!!
Yooooo
hi
4th comment baby
yoooo
as a malaysian, im so grateful to the indonesians for inventing indomie, you guys made my late night happy when i need to rush my assignments
As an Indonesian (i didn't invent indomie) no problems... Just keep giving us money
good thing indomie is cheap af@@Sentiie
@@hopiuscoliun6746yeah it's always mind-blowing how cheap it is
@@Sentiie had one pack of 5 for less than a dollar for sale from the convenience store the other day
The woman who discovered Indomie passed away I guess a year ago. I was terribly sad when that happened
A good bowl of indomie with an egg is actually priceless 🙏
Yo wassup
Silence Bot
Can't go wrong with a bowl of indomie, I like to add extra fried onion and chilli to mine (sometimes lil bit of spam if i'm feeling a bit fancy)
Dont really care if you bought a verified account or not or you’re a bot, but yes i indeed do agree, it is PRICELESS 🤤 🤤 🤤
white part eggs need to be crispy
As a Malaysian this is such a great last meal
It all looks so good!
same same, I really love these choices
Malaysian Pride! Woohoo🎉
I will get on death row for this one meal
As a Polish man living in the UK for almost a decade, this really looks like a banging meal Edit: even though Peking duck was doordashed
I love when Nigel drops character, he seems genuinely passionate about food. This is one of the tastiest looking last meals on the show so far too.
Glad he doesn’t carry it over all his media like Michael blackson. Last thing we need is a prominent Asian figure constantly playing a caricature.
I agree, first one where I am like 'yes I would eat all of that'
If I'm being honest, I kind of got tired of the Uncle Roger character. Might just be me, but there's so much negativity out there already, I just lost interest in watching a mostly negative channel. It's like a Cinema Sins kind of effect. But I really enjoyed him in this.
when he actually drops his character he starts supporting the ccp lol
@@brewdaly1873 I watch the counteepart to Cinema Sins so help when I watch too much Cinema Sins. Makes ya feel good
Bro, being a Malaysian and seeing this made me so happy. We're normally way overshadowed by our next door neighbour, Singapore 😂
as a singaporean, i'm happy whenever MY/SG are in the spotlight. both countries have great things to offer and show the world.
Ya but food in SG so expensive now. Always go to Malaysia to eat!
Yah true lol@@mliao1
@@mliao1ppl eat in sg ? 😭
@@mliao1ppl eat in sg ? 😭
So glad you had on Nigel for most of this and not his alter-ego. Was good to hear his actual perspective regarding issues that have been brought up about his character and it was nice to hear him discuss his upbringing and how the character came about. Great episode!
"Too busy for death" is such an Asian things
E
asian parents will off you themselves if you start talking about death
If you’re too busy for death, you’ll be caught unawares one day But if you think of death, your days will be full of life ❤
Kin Kin Pan Mee is the OG GOAT ❤
@@alphathealphiliatelove this
Josh and the Mythical Kitchen team are knocking it out of the park this year. Really impressive Last Meals so far, can't wait for more!
Except for that one deleted Last Meals ep that we're not allowed to mention.
@@TarAnarionNothing was wrong with that episode and she hasn't said anything publicly that Will didn't already say in his own book a decade ago, she is not the only one out here talking about it. But they have a complicated relationship and we watched a lot of Will Smith movies growing up, and the internet is going to jump on any opportunity to hate a woman openly and get away with it so there you go.
@@Toastybees are we talking about jada pinkett?
@@Toastybees Idk I love alot of women but that one is insufferable
E
I appreciate 1000% the research Josh does, he truly is the pride of the mythical kitchen, such a genuine, constantly self-improving man.
i'm filipino and i've always known there are overlaps between southeast asian cuisines, but bubur cha cha genuinely surprised me. it's just like ginataang bilo-bilo from the philippines! the amount of research, the dedication to pronouncing the dishes' names correctly, the respect josh has for the correct way to eat each food... this video has me floored. as a southeast asian, it is so incredibly heartwarming to see our food celebrated and loved in this way. thank you, nigel, for continuing to educate the world about our food while making us all laugh.
I think they ended up making the filipino version by accident. Lol. Although, the dish has so many variations.
Uncle Roger's 'Last Meal' is the kind of comfort food that's like a warm hug for your taste buds. It's like traveling to Malaysia without leaving your seat
do you know how many items they get to choose?
@@greg.peepeefaceidk why you’d ask him but normally in a final meal there’s no limit. I’d assume they can do whatever. Nobody is gonna order more than they can handle.
@@TMJYT yeah, they eat all the food shown 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
But me no ooopjifnhxhzzixjd🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
man you have to come to malaysia, its true that its Uncle Roger's last meals.
Uncle Roger is great but I'm glad we got plenty of time with Nigel. Also seeing that Pan Mee with a big handful of fried anchovies on top has me convinced I'll enjoy Malaysian food a lot if I ever get the chance.
Anchovies are everywhere.
I got to have it once, in Edmonton, absolutely incredible. Vegan restaurant but we got confused when we were served chicken. It was actually tofu, but prepared by a genius. Everything was amazing, except we didn't care for sticky gluten, but everything else was A+++
fried anchovies is a staple on any Malaysian household. We eat it with fried rice, white rice, porridge. etccc
@@dakineprotossI feel like you didn't listen to the rest of that conversation. Nigel is not pulling on Asian stereotypes for the Uncle Roger character, he's pulling on his personal experience and real life family. It feels uncomfortably close to stereotype to an American because that is basically the only context we will have heard that type of accent otherwise, but it's an illusion.
@@dakineprotossbros the one coping 💀
Josh needs to be acknowledged for how he spoke that whole meal into existence without getting tongue tied. Pat yourself on the back bro. Really great job
This might be the most delicious last meal yet! I think I fell in love with Nigel a little bit. He’s very sweet, and real enough to say that he worries that everything he’s created could go away. Most celebrities wouldn’t admit to that. I wish Nigel and Uncle Roger all the best in life.
Lived in Malaysia for 9 months. Malaysian food is highly underrated. Can't wait to go back!
Lived there for almost 4 years. The food is just an incredible fusion of rich cultures and there's really nothing that disappoints.
It’s the best
seriously some of the most uniquely flavorful stuff
E
Chinese food
I know it's probably not the case, but if Uncle Roger and Gordon Ramsey were in the studio at the same time, there was a huge missed opportunity in having Josh try some kind of cooking challenge while getting BRUTALLY tag-team roasted.
now i need a series of those 2 tag teaming to roast chefs
I always love the last question! "Are you happy?"a simple question yet everytime the guests' faces will soften & you can see their sincerity in answering those questions. Just love it. Love MK crew
This was definitely a great episode in the Last Meals series. I hope Nigel and/or Uncle Roger can be a guest in another video judging dishes made by the team.
Maybe the spot-the-impostor-chef series!
Does anyone else think it's really suspicious that you never see Nigel Ng and Uncle Roger together in the same room?
That's insane. I've never seen Clark Kent and Superman in the same room but they're obviously not the same person.
Peter Parker always misse Spiderman when he shows up too! What a coincidence.😊
Man!what a discovery!
well tbh, they have been in the same room before
That's because Nephew Nigel is his cameraman.
What Uncle Roger said about eating out being too expensive in America was like, a lightbulb moment for me. I got the chance to live in Okinawa for a couple years and once you found the right spots for the foods you liked, you could go to a restaurant, a rice bowl stand, or whatever it happened to be and it'd end up being either as much or less than you'd spend on groceries to make a meal at home.
♥️♥️♥️
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! I love how they so fluidly talk about the differences and experiences between different places of the world and races. No negativity, no over the top stuff, just a serious matter of fact discussion, and equalness. Even when recognizing bullying because of who you are and stuff. Just people being people, talking about being different and how awesome it is to experience each others differences. I really think josh needs to get nigel and gordon together. So much experience from around the world in one places, to not blend an interview between the three of them is a huge missed opportunity.
Uncle Roger with his leg up on chair...excellent commitment to the bit. What an awesome last meal & interview!
As someone who is both Japanese and Native Hawaiian born and raised in Hawaii I love the representation of an Asian on this show. Although the cultures are different, I can relate to a lot Uncle Roger and Nigel say about food in Asian culture. My mom makes the best fried rice and chow fun I've ever had and I have a recipe from my grandma (pure Japanese) that literally says, her hand writing, "Do Not Give Out" lol
Any chance I can get grandma's recipe? I'm sure it's amazing and I promise I won't share.
@@ELCarlsson99that would be disobeying their grandmother who said do not give it out
Love how you said that as if they are actually 2 different people lol
But her recipe never says: "Do not give in." Thus you can be tempted to "give in" to other's pleas to know your grandma's recipe. I am joking of course lol.
Cheee you tell um Kanaka!
UNCLE ROGER LETS GOOOO - love this series and how serious it gets josh does a wonderful job hosting this
E
I think this is my favourite one so far! Well done mythical kitchen and thanks for blessing us with your presence Nigel!
I had Malaysian food once here in Denver. I'll be having it again tonight! I have a Chinese Malaysian New Zealander associate who is married to an Indian Malaysian New Zealander. They were my inspiration. I love new food and learning about cultures. Malaysia broke my brain.
Now Josh is banned from China
Why?
@@Kate-tk1bquncle roger made a joke about Taiwan.
@@Kate-tk1bq Nigel had a joke surface that was critical of China in his stand-up set that was recorded and posted on KZhead, and China doesn't like that. Any celebrity being openly critical of China is usually denied entrance. Ironically this is after Uncle Roger cancelled a collaboration video with major food travel blogger Mike Chen because Chen is vocally anti-Chinese government due to the religious persecution his family faced before fleeing to America.
John Cena style apology video incoming 😂
@@Kate-tk1bquncle roger did a stand up set making fun of the chinese communist party and this chinese social media company started wiping him off of it. Also, he collaborated with a guy who is anti-ccp once and removed the video.
Nigel is totally right about Uncle Roger lifting the culture up rather than putting it down. He got me into Malaysian food and now nasi lemak with chicken rendang is one of my favourite dishes, and I cook nasi goreng way more often than Chinese-style fried rice.
I don’t even really enjoy the flavour profiles of a lot of Asian food yet he single handedly gave me an appreciation of how it should be done
E
Beef rendang trumps chicken all day everyday...!
I agree! Even though I’m chinese and not Malaysian, many asian dishes share similarities and are sometimes even the same (like korean jajeongmeon(? Is that how you spell that?) and chinese zha jiang mian) so its nice to see someone get asian food right and fight for it in general
@@theboogeyman2590 The two dish names even sound similar Ramen and la mian also come to mind Asian food ftw
This was so good. What a great series, man. Brilliant idea, but I imagine the setup is a nightmare. These vids are so addictive. It's basically just a direct competitor to the Hot Ones show but with WAY more effort. This is the first one I've watched in 1 sitting and was great.
dang, the last question about regret got too real. best episode yet. amazing homage to Malaysian food!
"It's a podcast with extra steps"... ...this hits home since I've got it in the background whilst doing the accounts payable.
i love that nigel spins stereotypes into a positive and funny look at his culture. nothing inappropriate, he doesnt put anyone down for stuff other than their cooking and jokes he knows they can handle. cowboy kent and him are a hell of a duo
Yesss that episode was amazing
He consistently puts white people down
the egg dipping scene. Nigle dipped the egg with the side of toast that he bit from, I was worried if the host was going to just not dip it and make a fuss, but no, he didn't get upset, and he dipped in as well (not shown but the very next frame shows his toast got egg yolk on it). love the detail.
Uncle Roger is just Nigel's symbiote
I've never felt so seen watching a video. It is truly important for people who have different upbringings AND are proud of where they come from to be seen. Thank you uncle roger/nigel for the work you do and for speaking so authentically about Malaysian culture!
Singapore culture!!!😂
josh's pronunciation of sambal terasi, bubur chacha and kopi si kosong etc is sooo good!
Realistically Malaysians call it ‘belacan’ not terasi
fr!!!! still good tho :) @@ANewEarthKL
Really well thought out questions and conversation. ❤
Great episode. Hank let it slip on Safety Third that he filmed with you guys recently. Looking forward to that one. Love that he slipped in a podcast comment as well.
Man I really knew Last Meals would really make it since episode 1, and the guest list just getting better and better Can't wait for this to go more than 10 seasons
Saw ur pfp and thought I commented already when I haven't watched it yet
10 seasons 👍

It's interesting how KZhead is "new media" but the best shows on the platform are less the amateur-hour bloviating "independent creators" (this was true even before hbomberguy blew the lid off the plagiarism problem) and the channels that have old-media standards and practices but a new-media presentation style. Consider Mythical Entertainment, which is fundamentally a TV company with KZhead as its distribution platform, or Complex Media (Hot Ones) or Secret Base/SBNation (owned by Vox Media and presenting the wonderful Dorktown documentaries on this platform.) More of that, the sweet spot between editorial standards and looser, more freeform content.
I love Malaysian food. There’s so much access to it in Melbourne, Australia, where I live. Big Malaysian communities.
Lucky!!! I've only had access to it in Edmonton, i believe, one of the best meals of my life! It was vegan but old school, homemade vegan meat substitutes that had such perfect texture, we thought they misunderstood what vegan meant 😂 nope, they just could do miracles with jackfruit, tofu, gluten, etc... We thought we had 4 different meats & they were all delicious. Edmonton is a real eater's city...
Ayeee, close by. Down in geelong !
Yeah, Malaysians love going to Australia. 😆 I'm planning to move there myself 😉
Jade Kingdom in Heidelberg Heights is run by a family friend of mine. Though it's future is currently rocky. They are legendary.
trueee
Really good choices Nigel! Thanks Nigel for sharing Malaysian food with the world once again, thanks Mythical Kitchen for the very open and understanding conversation as well as inviting Uncle Roger!
I get so excited when I see Uncle Roger pop up on channels that I watch! I loved the collabs with Guga as well.
as a korean who grew up in malaysia this meal is top tier, every item in the intro list just made me more and more hyped
Uncle Roger and Josh eating together and talking about death? *FUIYOOOOOHH!!* Also. I love the food choices (especially the Indomie), lotta good Asian food in this video. 😁
E
I love these interviews, we get to see the actual side of these people and the hidden things that not everyone sees.
The answers at the end were kinda heart to heart. Hopefully Nigel gets to meet with his old friends one day and just hang out.
Lovely to hear your story. My dad is Malaysian-Chinese (born in Malaysia but ethnically Chinese). Always nice to hear more about Malaysia. Living in Canada, I'm pretty grateful for the positive experience I had regarding my background. Since the demographics in the schools I went to were so mixed, usually classmates and I wanted to try each other's food. A lot of cultural appreciation since young, but I understand not everyone had such a positive experience.
That litearlly the best thing about canada.. we have so much food.. and really really good food.
@@npcimknot958do you mind sharing examples? As an outsider, I have no idea what Canadian food culture is like.. I can only think of maple syrup or poutine..
@@j_k_rzI'm a Montrealer, so I can mostly speak on that front, but Montréal is well-known as a great place for food because it's so diverse. Sure, there's great poutine, but there's also everything else, you know?
@@constancep7632 Thanks for your reply.. I meant it as a genuine question like.. what is Canadian cuisine? (besides slightly more well-known foods like poutine)
10:01 uncle roger just demolishing the noodles xD love to see guests who love and devour the food
hahah yeah i noticed too he just let josh talked so he could chow down
You guys do such a good job making everything from scratch. I'm surprised you didn't make the Kimchi jjigae. Can't wait for a mythical kitchen version of that.
this series so amazing :’)
indomie as last meal is based, it's really the meal you enjoy even though you knew you could die from it
realll
Nigel and Uncle Roger are like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
This totally deserves more likes coz I never thought of it that way. 😆
@@hypfie I'm glad I'm not the only one
Dudeeee, props for MK! Love this episode & the amounts of mentioning Malaysia here!!! Lurveeee
I absolutely love how Josh has gone from the goofy, muscular, culinary torturer of Rhett and Link to casually killing interviews with the likes of Gordon-effing-Ramsay in what feels like a handful of years. This was an absolute joy to watch. Nigel has equallly been killing it in the last few years as well. I have so much love for both of these men. Cheers to both of them~
My fiancee is from Malaysia, and i love the food and culture. It's so respectful and relaxed there.
what's interesting about malaysia is that there are three major ethnic groups in the country, native/ethnically malaysian people, chinese people, and indian people, so the culture, language and foods are highly influenced by all three of these groups.
oversimplification. The great thing about Malaysia's cuisine is that even within those ethnic groups there are more cultures and ethnicities, plus there are also significant numbers outside of those three. Take the Javanese and Minang diaspora/heritage, they contributed significantly to Malaysia's cuisine but considered as native Malay. Almost the same thing within the chinese and indians. And then you have the eastern Malaysia where diversity is taken to whole new level with all of the Dayaks, the Badjos, etc.. Take this insane diversity of Malaysia and multiply it by near-infinity, then you get the country south of it.
@@wenderis of course, im making broader statements, just because many people (Americans at least) aren't familiar with malaysia as a country, let alone the immense diversity within it, i feel like it's more of an oversimplification to refer to it just as malaysian when it can be more specific. i just mentioned some of the more populous ethnic groups, at least the easily recognizable (again from the american perspective) ones.
@@wenderisyeah yeah everyone knows you're a smart guy now 🥱
@@wenderisbut dayaks dusun and java and all is act same as Malay too right?? 😅
no!@@anepzan7463
"You hate flavour" Man just winning every argument from this point on
confirmed would listen if posted as podcast
The dessert with coconut milk, tapioca pearls, sweet potato is also eaten in the Philippines. Typically called ginataan.
Mmmm love that dessert!
also vietnam, che. Theres basically probably a very similar variant for each south east asian country lol
We have it in China as well except we usually switch the sweet potato for fruits like mango
its so refreshing to see roti kaya presented as a malaysian food after so many years of it being regarded as primarily a singaporean dish (which it is, we’re half siblings with divorced parents), and seeing pan mee in an american food show is such a trip! Nigel truly taking pride in Malaysian culture gives me such warm feelings.
Singapore is that like that little brother who has copied everything his big brother did, and passes it off as his own
i would love to see nigel do vlogs one day. take us to malaysia where you grew up!
Nigel is bringing my favourite kaya and toast here, malaysia represents
I’m surprised it took so many guests for someone to say Anthony! Nigel gets points in my eyes for that ❤
One of the best thing(minor thing) about this is the last question "Are you Happy?", the guests face shows the answer almost instantaneously. Also it is an incredibly good way to end an 'interview'.
Love the Interview. Didn’t know about Mythical Kitchen. Fan of Uncle Roger/Nigel.
Another great guest...keep it up Mythical Kitchen! I love Uncle Roger!
There's a similar dish in the Philippines to Bubur Cha-cha, which is Ginataang Bilo-Bilo. Ginataan meaning "Cooked with cocnut milk", and Bilo-bilo which came from Bilog, meaning round, refering to the tapioca and rice flour balls in the dish. Similarly both have addition of root crops and fruits such as bananas and sweet yams in the dish.
I'm so glad i didn't have to scroll far to find someone making a connection to ginataang! Now i really wanna try bubur chacha
I’m sure there’s a lot of crossover influence from Singhalese people, but my tamil mum makes Rasavalli Kilangu, which is a pudding made from Ube, coconut milk, sago pearls and palm sugar, which can be any consistency from Halwa to Porridge. It’s lovely to see how each culture changes dishes a tiny bit
Generally called Binignit but the term differs from place to place in the ph.
There’s a similar version in Thailand and Vietnam too I believe. Real Sago balls or tapioca balls in sweet coconut milk with different toppings like taro, pumpkin, purple yams, palm seeds, coconut jelly, corn, black beans, jackfruit, Longan, rambutan etc. Darn it, now I want some 😂
The indonesian version would be kolak, which has sweet potato and banana, especially easy to find during Ramadan season.
THE ASIAN LEG UP IM CRYING IN RELATABLE CULTURE ❤
There's a Chinese/Malasian restaurant near me that my family love to visit regulary. A little pricy compared to other resturants near us, but soooo worth it! Thank you Nigel for teaching us more about your country and its food
Great episode!!! Made me hungry AF!
Nigel saying "I empathize with you, but you also have to empathize with me" and Josh saying "I wish more people saw things as more complex than they do" really hit me hard. American culture is, at this point, extremely self-destructive. Nobody is allowed to appreciate their own culture anymore unless it appeals to everyone, but then also nobody is allowed to appreciate other cultures, so it's like... who tf are we celebrating culture FOR? I think many years ago I used to think the same way, that everything was considered offensive, but then I realized not everyone is the same and it is actually MORE offensive to assume people ARE the exact same! Diversity also means diverse ways of thinking, and it's about time we celebrate THAT instead of stifling it. Life is a lot more holistic than people give it credit for! This is why we give strangers the benefit of the doubt instead of becoming jaded! Loved your commentary, you guys!
Josh is on par with Sean Evans in terms of interview quality, which is a huge compliment. Kudos to the entire mythical kitchen team
So impressed that the team could put this very specific and varied meal together 🎉
I love these last meals videos so much! I can’t wait for more celebs/people to come on and do their last meals.❤🇨🇦❤️
This is a beautiful representation of Malaysian street food
Back in 05, Edmonton had a vegan Malaysian restaurant that presented everything as real meats would be - home cooked jackfruit bbq, tofu based "chicken" with the right texture, everything took so much skill to make, plus absolutely delicious seasoning. One of my favorite meals ever. We need more Malaysian food, it's clearly some of Asia's finest.
congratz on hitting the 3 million subs
I was just looking the other day if there was a podcast version for this show. I would definitely listen.
Gordon Ramsey, Uncle Roger, and Jake Johnson already 2024 is effing awesome
I don't know if I've ever been more envious of a collection of food
Not just the food, the tea and sake sets also just added something to it too.
Great interview ❤
i love him, real comedian. seems like a down to earth dude
Josh and his crew are so good at making such deep and interesting questions. I love the humor in this series, and Josh’s hosting abilities!
Multiple Last Meal episodes in the span of 23 days ??? You don't know how grateful I am, Josh ❤
Nice interview. Thank you
Greatest interview I've seen in a long time.
As a Malaysian living in the US now, Uncle Roger brings me so much nostalgia and it makes me so upset that I can’t get this food all the time. It makes me so happy that they brought him on!!
Now this is an incredible last meal, I would swap out some of the items for my own personal favourites (e.g. bubur cha cha with honeydew sago/longan and fungus, kimchi jigae with japchae etc.) but overall it captures the essence of food you get in Malaysia incredibly well, props to Nigel and the Mythical Kitchen crew!
I'm Filipino but frequents Malaysia - I miss the food! This episode made me salivate...
I love your intro so much
I was super thrilled yet simultaneously hesitant to see this pop up in my notifications! I love Uncle Roger, but was unsure how interviewing the character is going to jive with the down-to-earth sincerity of Last Meals. So when Nigel Ng introduced himself, I got DOUBLY excited to see the nephew behind Uncle Roger! This show keeps getting better and better! Also just wanna mention how FLY Josh's outfit is!
As a Malaysian, this is the last meal I have been WAITING to see!!! I was thinking about my last meal the other day, and how it would be impossible for any western chef to be able to recreate it properly. (I live in Europe) But I'm so glad to see that Mythical Kitchen was able to recreate the flavors pretty authentically and to the best of their abilities
They wouldn't have that agar agar touch to cooking
FRRR i thought the exact same thing
I have the same teapot set. Pretty cool seeing it on the show.
A really great podcast! Many thanks😁
Wow I'm impressed with Josh's pronounciation at saying all the foods name
Easily my favorite Last Meal episode. Nigel Ng is thoughtful, classy, humble, and really funny!
This was a great episode!
Fried Rice bit, awesome.
