Uncle Roger's Insane Price Tag: Is His RM18 Fried Rice Worth Every Bite?

Following the news that Uncle Roger, a popular Malaysian YouTuber, has opened a restaurant serving his signature fried rice at a whopping RM18 per plate, many fans are left wondering if his dish lives up to its price tag.

Best known for his hilarious reaction videos and critiques of various cooking shows, including BBC Food's 'Egg Fried Rice' segment, Uncle Roger has become an internet sensation with millions of followers worldwide.

The YouTuber's foray into the culinary scene with his own eatery has been met with great interest, but as many fans take a closer look at his menu, they are faced with one question: is RM18 for a plate of fried rice really justified?

To put this into perspective, RM18 is roughly equivalent to five bucks for a dish that many of us can easily whip up at home. So what makes Uncle Roger's fried rice so special? According to his restaurant, the dish is carefully crafted using the finest ingredients, including locally-sourced vegetables and prime cuts of meat.

Some fans argue that the price is indeed worth every penny for the added convenience and unique experience that comes with dining at a celebrity restaurant. 'Uncle Roger's videos are hilarious and entertaining – paying a bit more to try his fried rice is just a small price to pay for being a fan,' one enthusiastic supporter exclaimed.

Others, however, have expressed more skepticism, citing that, regardless of the hype surrounding Uncle Roger, RM18 for a plate of fried rice is simply too steep. 'As a regular fan of fried rice, I'd expect at least a substantial portion size and exceptional service, which we haven't seen in the early reviews of the restaurant,' another netizen pointed out.

Clearly, people have mixed opinions when it comes to the price tag on Uncle Roger's RM18 fried rice. As a fan, will you bite the bullet and shell out RM18 for a plate of his signature dish, or do you think you'll be sticking to your locally-sourced street food options? The decision is yours to make.
