Nigel Ng, the Malaysian comedian known as Uncle Roger, opened his first UK restaurant in London's Chinatown. The restaurant, Kawan, was expected to be a success due to Uncle Roger's large YouTube following, but it has been largely deserted six weeks after opening. The restaurant's menu features dishes like 'fried rice from the village' and 'choco-orange ribs', but the food has been described as 'hideous' and 'weird'. The restaurant's design and bathroom facilities have also been criticized. The author questions the business logic behind the restaurant and wonders if it is a 'success' or a 'failure'. The article concludes by asking whether Uncle Roger's name is enough to guarantee success in the restaurant business.
