You guys always held it down for Lao food content, ill never forget. Appreciate yall.
💯
I’m Japanese American and I love Cambodian food and Lao food. Whenever I crave papaya salad I always go Lao because they make the best version IMO.
Did your grandparents invade China?
@@yardhostler3728that escalated quickly
Papaya is originated from Laos so I assumed that's why their Papaya is so tasty.
I love japanese food, whenever i crave soda i always go to supermarket to get ramune japanese soda ..
@@yardhostler3728No, but they and my parents were interned by America during WW2 and my dad served in the 442nd.
I'm Cambodian and after seeing the immense hate for cilantro on social media, I realized people have preferences due to their "palate spectrum" and DNA. Outside the food industry, convincing one to like our dish is not our job. The point of trying foreign cuisines is to be open to experience new flavors and to appreciate the culture behind it. It's like discovering a new form of art unlike you've ever seen.
Cambodian food is created by us and for us and reflects our region's fauna and flora which creates unique flavors. However, our most popular Cambodian dishes among tourists are Amok (fish dish), Lok Lak (beef salad dish), and Num Ban Chok (a soft noodle dish varying in flavor depending on the Samlar and Kroeung used. The original form of this dish predates Chinese influence).
Also, Vice had an article about the Thai government funding the many Thai restaurants, worldwide, as a form of culinary diplomacy to boost export and tourism. Our government has been stepping up lately but really needs to utilize Cambodians more familiar with the history/origin, the authentic recipes, and techniques.
Another point is that Laos, Cambodia, and the Philippines are/were always Asian joke fodder on American television as they are seen as obscure and less vocal Asians up until an episode of Desperate House Wives made fun of the Philippines and ABC had to apologize. I guess Nigel is learning this lesson as well. It worked for Filipinos, so I'm glad Cambodians are finally speaking up.
As a Lao person, even if he’s joking, it still was punching down. Laos is practically invisible on the global stage and if the only time people hear about it as the butt of the joke, it has an effect. When you have a platform, you have to be aware of your reach.
Also amongst Asians there’s a ton of inter country racism. Like, East Asians shitting on southeast Asians is a thing and it’s hard enough being a minority in a country thats bad with non-whites that we we don’t need to be attacking each other.
East Asians only attack East Asians not southeast Asians. He isn’t Asian.
Facst, I am Laotian to he went to far
😂😂😂😂
💯
Unsubscribe him!
I am Vietnamese, and I think Vietnamese, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia Food and Languages have a lot of similarities.
So I think it is not necessary to hate on each other.
I don't hate anyone but I hate Roger
I agree, we all need to embrace and share the love lol
I'm tejana, and I truly think that Lao food is the best! I can't live without sticky rice, papaya salad, and pho. ❤❤❤
One of the most critically acclaimed restaurants in DC Thip Kao is a Laotian restaurant.
It was a joke but it did bring Lao food into the spot light and the backlash Uncle Rodger got did make him make a video about eating Lao food recently. Cambodian food should also get its day.
Laos food is nice , but Cambodian food is dogshit la
Good commentary bros, I’m always a big fan of your work. Much love y’all
The Lao Lan Xang Kingdom lost some of its territory when the French redrew the border between Laos and Thailand. Laos was never part of Thailand as so many Thai nationals have stated in the comments. It was never one big country composing of Laos and Thailand and Laos did not break off from Thailand to form Laos, as so many of you are alluding to. Modern day Laos is what is left of Lan Xang, a LAO KINGDOM. Modern day Isaan region, was also part of Lan Xang, a LAO KINGDOM. Some of the individuals who keep repeating that Laos came from Thailand are the prime example of Phibun's wet dream. His Thaification policies governed what people would wear, what they would be taught in school (important note here: what students were taught in Thai schools!), etc etc. This meant that people from different cultural backgrounds, millions of Lao people living in Thailand included, be assimilated to the more standard central Thailand. Now, why there are many Lao people living in Thailand deserves a different rant, but in short: war, enslavement, some leave for work, etc. So, if you're a Thai national living in Isaan, explore your ancestry. You might be ethnically Lao or another minority.
Fast forward in history a bit, gastrodiplomacy brought Thai food to the world stage. The Thai government was genius for this because it did, indeed, boost tourism in the country. The Thai government paid people to move abroad and literally open up Thai restaurants. This is why there are so many Thai restaurants and because of its popularity, Lao people started opening up restaurants and calling it "Thai". Anyway, for me, I'll call papaya salad (with the fermented fish sauce), sticky rice, sai ua, and laab as Lao and Isaan food, but not Thai because those are not dishes that come to my mind when I think of Thai food, but Thai food is delicious, too.
Thank you for sharing the facts, not too many people is aware that Laos was once its independent kingdom and after the French colonization, it gave more than 1/3 or more of its territory and more than 50% of its people to Thailand.
Lao food is great. I actually like Lao food more than Thai food. Both good in their own way.
I love how you guys looked at it from some many different perspectives. Great video!!👏👏👏👏
Lao and thai is a touchy topic. That’s why the work up of madness.
The Fung Brothers: **Next video, we will take you to a Laotian restaurant right here in NYC so you can check out some fantastic Laotian flavours!!!**
he's a comedian, I am Filipino, I remember when a UK skit made fun of Filipinos and I laughed but a lot of Filipinos really got mad
Nigel has already released a video of Uncle Roger and aebaybayy making three three Laotian dishes together. After they eat he compliments the food, and says Laos has good food. I'm pretty sure the former videos were just a set up for his video with her, and also most likely some not yet mentioned Cambodian chef. Uncle Roger is meant to be that old uncle who doesn't speak well of anyone, but I can see how some people can be hurt by his words. I doubt Nigel was being serious or intentionally hateful.
We know how he gonna balance out unlike some those laos cambo instant judge ppl and saying I use to love his video he is funny guy but now he talk shyt my country food ..F..him go to TooT Toot* he is dog etc.😂 I was like bro his next weejio gonna praise laos food 3 times amount and they pay no attention .
It was always just for content views. Idiots are just so easily triggered and pissed off at him for being a fucking character.
@@billinthapanya2932 What if somebody says that Malaysian food is the ( SHITTY ) version of Singapore's food?
@@seanluke2its very hard since both people often migrate between Malaysian and Singapore. If you say Singapore food is shit Malaysian gets hurts too.
At least this brings Lao and Cambodian food into the conversation. Maybe it was his plan all along lol.😄
😅
Uncle Roger just dropped a new video where he collabs with Lao cook Ae to cook 3 Lao dishes. This is a masterclass in marketing by Nigel Ng and team. They're bringing awareness to less talked about cuisines like Lao and Cambodian food. Hopefully we see a collab between Uncle Roger and a Cambodian cook soon too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree
There are many other ways to be funny without kicking others down, and I'm sure he learned from this. As humans, we all make mistakes and what matters is that he takes accountability and turn this mistake into one that is uplifting and impactful.
Some Isaan people will argue but they're ethnically Lao. Isaan food is Lao, they're lao culturally, and their language is Lao but is called Isaan for political reasons. It goes even deeper though cause ethnically people from Laos and Thailand are the same people.
I had a Chinese boss once…he asked where I came from (Laos), he straight up said he knew nothing about Lao except we’re lazy, don’t care to progress. Of course, I just translated that to we love the sabai sabai lifestyle and we work when we need to. We lived off the land. Even though we are…were landlocked (China said the belt and road initiative makes us unlocked), we were self sufficient.
laos people are the worst yall think your highclass
I’ve been to Laos. The food is delicious. Uncle Roger messed up. 😵💫
Haha. Cant wait his Cambodia video soon.
Since this video has fewer comments than Uncle Roger's, I'll post this here. Laotians open Thai restaurants because you can charge more for Thai food than Lao food. Hopefully that's changing. If I knew nothing about two restaurants except one was Thai and one was Lao then I'm going to the Lao one.
Lao food is fire. Lao sausage, larb, thumakhoung, sticky rice, lao grill chicken
Thanks for bringing up Tai Dam 🎉🎉🎉.
I love Lao and Thai food. ❤❤❤❤❤
Nigel Ng is a genius, for creating awareness for Southeast Asian Local Cuisine. Still, the talkshit still hurts. 😅
Yea it hurts a lot (even tho it was an obv joke/trying to stir the pot for promo) because lao food does not have the same level of exposure or recognition on a global scale like other countries cuisine.
I don't blame him for not having any knowledge whatsoever about LAO food.
Not sure why most people take Uncle Roger's opinion on food so seriously since he's actually a comedian living in the UK.
Never tried any of those so I can't judge. Now, I'm intrigued to try them.
Asians get lumped together outside Asia but there's def tension amongst Asians within Asia. Asians pay more attention to details & they have longer memories. Also they don't prescribe to the Judeo-Christian/Catholic mantra 'forgive & forget'.
Yeah, most Asians get even😅
We still need a fade tho. Knock him out when we see him..
I thought he was joking but he admitted that he just genuinely didn't like Lao food because the only time he had Lao food it tasted bad. Shocking because Lao food is fiyaaaaahhhh
Bro where did you buy that awesome corduroy jacket?
Here in KL I've seen a Cambodia or Lao Resturant
Let me guess. He's going to collab with Laotian or Combodian people , right?
Here’s the Laos food collab - th-cam.com/video/3NNElYHPiB4/w-d-xo.html
Isan people are Lao people
I hear people say shit like this and take it with a grain of salt.
I’ve met people who say they hate Japanese food… when what they really mean is they don’t like sushi.
It’s very hard to say you don’t like a culture’s food when it has thousands of different dishes
Exactly! And lots of factors influence people’s personal biases too. For example, here is a Non-food example:
People who are adamant about disliking cats, you ask them:
“Why do you hate cats?”
Their response (usually): “Oh, I’m allergic to them, so therefore I hate them!”
^Yet logically, most of us know that’s wrong to completely dislike a cat who cannot help it whether you are allergic to them or not. Cats may not be for you if you suffer from allergies, but it doesn’t mean their existence makes them horrible.
Most of the people I encounter who hate on Lao food complain how it’s too spicy (too spicy in comparison yo Thai or Mexican) or that some do the dishes look dirty (some dishes call for unfiltered fish sauce to bring out more of the umami), too many vegetables or herbs, etc.
Confusing personal preferences for hate is the wrong approach.
To those who says it's only comedy, he is what professional comedians call a "low hanging fruit" comedian. He is just rehashing William Hung's bit with a fake, offensive persona, IYKYK. His fans forget that his "comedy" routine IS of him complaining and staying pressed which made him popular. He tried to cancel Cambodian and Laotian food and now complaining about himself being cancelled. Cambodia is just dishing what he's been serving.
I'm sure he knows milking out this type of drama will get old pretty fast. If he's smart, he would showcase all Asian cuisine, but now turning against other Asian countries to please TH-cam algorithms or, I suspect government promotional funding, is simply making room for another TH-cam channel. My husband is Filipino and it was interesting for us to see the Pinoy Baiting take over TH-cam that lasted for a time, but now, no longer generating the same viewership. I guess pitting Asian nations against each other is the next trend, but like Pinoy Baiting, people catch on and will move on. I'm glad my generation had Chef Martin Yan.
I get that you can't please everyone, especially everyone in the Asian community. I get that it's a joke to create a hoopla for an upcoming collab. However, the fact that Laos and Cambodians are under-represented not only in America but in Asia, it's an unnecessary joke. Food is a big factor and an introduction to a person's culture. So, to diss it (even in jest) leaves a poor taste in everyone's mouth.
Yeah, I definitely agree with this statement. It's understandable why people would get upset.
It's the way it was said.
For me, lao and thainfood are basically the same, but I like lao style better. More flavor. For me, some Thai food are too sweet.
But, everyone has their own opinion. I don't get mad when some people say certain food sucks. But, I do think he was kidding. The does shit to piss people off haha
@Muay_Thai1930
Yup, grew up on lao and thai food. And when i visited family in lao and thailand, I got to try so much food
Thai foods is a good stepping stone for introducing Southeast Asian regional foods. Lao food is kicked up a notched, more for advanced eaters who want to go further into Southeast Asian flavors.
Sorry, Laotian American here. Laos and thai food for different.
I love laos food!!!
A slap on food.
It is his publicity stunk 😅
He already has a response video up I haven't finished watching it though he's having one of the people who responded cook him thai food and he's gonna try it, so let's see how that goes
*You mean Lao food, NOT Thai.
mainland southeast asian food is hella bomb. cant say the same about filipino food though
Food is Food and People is People everyone has difference opinions about something
I probably wouldn't know about this situation? Just eat the food 😋 of the taste delicious 😋 or not. But just take a bite🥢of the abounds of southeast Asia food. My great historical information for today. Have a great fabulous wonderful day.
Basically Uncle Roger’s team ran the numbers, saw that he had certain Asian demographic but not others. So he came up with a plan to hook those people in. And they fell for it. You notice how quick he was to take the invitation of that Laotian chef and went on her show? Then at the end he even said he was still looking for a Cambodian chef to collab with.
In my opinion every country has a shitty food. You need to find the right place and the right chef who know how to prepare the best food.
In conclusion:
You need skill to eat good food. Doesn't matter how much money you have.
Uncle Roger gonna get the soup dumplings not out of him he better watch his mouth
China and Cambodia are sworn brothers. Their relationship goes back to the 13th century. Ancient Khmer empire used practice marriage alliances with who over ruled over China. The Chinese however were not allowed to live in today's Siem Reap and they were instructed by the khmer rulers to build market places in Funan which is todays Phnom Penh which was an empty city before Chinese people settled down. This is the reason why up until 1974 (before Pol Pot wipped out Chinese and Viet) over 60% of the people of Phnom Penh have Chinese ancestors speaking Teochew (Chaozhou). Teochew people are all about business and they are representing true Chinese culture and tradition all over South East Asia. All the SEA capitals are rich because of the Teochews
Uncle Roger had a make up video for lao come out today
Can anyone recommend a good Laos restaurant in LA/OC area?
Who cares what the minstrel thinks.
the video with aeybeybey is already out
I’m still waiting for Uncle Roger to get roasted by Chef Dave Chang
i dont also know how to feel when someone tells people that our food is S#!t but i thinks its just marketing and today new video of nigel ng featured laos food. Its a strategy for the character to be viral again and be talk again of the asian community who has mixed feelings on a lot of things. Blessings to us all, always
Even Lao-Americans and Cambodian-Americans are offended.
Even what he said about Korean food was disrespectful. He pissed off Korean community and hurt Koreans+Korean-Americans
A comedian joking? What a revelation.
Because asians can't really take jokes I'm asian so i understand them 😅
Well stated, respectful, and thoughtful, Andrew. Progress not Regress any and all Asian cultures (plural).
🇱🇦man!!!
Gookey is Welcome to Trapaeng Kroleung ANYTIME!
Someone send interpol after uncle raja😂
Yeah, he's not funny tbh. I'm cambodian, thai and chinese. So I grew up eating mainly those regions' dishes. I first had my taste of Laos food when visiting my cousin in oakland at a lowkey spot many years ago, and man, it's freaking bomb! We need more Laos restaurants in SoCal!
Myself as a tai-lao isan person i aint mad at uncle roger at all all i wanna say is Lao food isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and its not the fanciest of asian foods either you like it or dont real thai food on the other hand is just like lao northern thai and isan food as thats how most tai kadais eat but what makes most commonly known thai foods today popular and flavorful is the heavy Chinese influence from the teochew and hakka that assimilated onto become thais over the centuries 🤙 💯
Yeah, quite funny when Whites realize (usually after another Asian points it out to them) that for them hating on Chinese food, it sure is hilarious that a lot of the foods they enjoy from Thai restaurants are Thai Chinese dishes (but given a Thai name)…😅
Also, you want to help with proper promotion of Tai Lao foods, it can start by NOT putting down our people’s heritage and food to begin with (but sadly this goes for most Thai Isan-Lao I encounter in real life and online). Just because our food isn’t suitable for most non-Lao (basically for most Whites), doesn’t mean it’s not “good enough.”
Lao food is one of the only foods that makes you want to “keep eating” and it’s not just the msg or Phadek alone, it’s the intensity of it all and respect to utilize as much fresh herbs and ingredients as possible, while balancing all these extreme ingredients into amazing dishes…is why it is not surprising that world renowned trained chefs praise Lao foods?
Massaman had nothing related to Chinese influence. It's funny how all Laotian assume that Thai dish got Chinese ingredient.what make Thai Cuisine standout is the mixture between Indian (Arabian) and Chinese, which Laos, a landlock realm, can't melt it.
@@saranyanaka3619 Nobody said anything about All Thai foods being ONLY Chinese influenced nor did anyone bring up Massaman Curry as Chinese…Why do you Thais have really bad reading comprehension skills? However, it still doesn’t change the fact most “safe” Thai dishes to Westerners are Chinese Thai in origins, especially Americanized Thai foods. And since Thailand has more Chinese diaspora than any other country on the planet, why are you so butt hurt about the truth?
Everyone already knows Thai food is a mixture of everyone else’s culture, so in reality it’s not all that unique. The only thing really “unique” about Thai food is that your government has “educated” all you Thais that there is really such a thing as “Thai food,” so you do everything you can to brag about it, when in reality Thai is like American…there is no real food, just mixtures of everyone’s cultural foods turned into a “Thai interpretation.” Also, all Southeast Asian countries have their own variations of Indian Curries or Chinese influenced dishes, so when you put Thai foods up against other Southeast Asian foods….it’s actually not that unique.
HOWEVER, what does make Lao Cuisine and eating customs stand out is that Lao were better at keeping with a lot ancient traditions of cooking styles such as steaming, boiling, grilling most foods, Sticky Rice consumption (as the staple starch) and primarily Tum salads.
@@saranyanaka3619 excuse me??? I wasn’t talking about masaman curry but i think alot of tai-lao folks and other southeast asian folks know of curry origins so what are you trying to really say?
@@tonysamsenthaikhambaoxaych8507 WE R talking about CUISINE. Massaman is just something proved that even without Chinese influence, Thai Dish could be famous at this level. DON'T PRETEND.
Haiyaa, Uncle Roger just like to talk chit. It part of his act.
As a Chinese, I wouldn't be insulted if I saw a TH-cam video of someone from Europe, for example, stating to his audiences, "I hate Chinese food," since that's simply part of his taste. But if same person said it to my face directly, I might feel something, but it wouldn't be serious or cause me to become offended. - I think all East Asians should unite and establish good relationships with other Asians, including the Filipino, Lao, Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian, etc. It isn't difficult to love and respect these people because they have no hate for me, so why not?
I would agree but you're Chinese. You're like the Italians of Asia, your food is already established in the world. I'm not from Laos nor Cambodian but I totally understand being offended. Building "good relationship" with SEA is easier said than done though.
@@athenstar10 I can also understand if this offends you guys. As a Chinese, I feel bad, but I assure you that most of us are not like Jocelyn Chia and Uncle Roger. They are not representing us. Don't take Uncle Roger seriously, he is a 🤡. Food is a universal language, so it should be a great way for countries to make friends. I'm not sure what's up with some Chinese folks who live in the UK these days, there is something sus about them but I can't be sure. Countries in the EA and SEA are neighbors. They should promote harmony between neighbors instead of emphasizing differences in an offending way just for jokes or to draw attention.
@@agape.ahimsa Again, I'm not from either of the countries mentioned so I'm not offended. But we have to understand that not all of us are represented equally. The less represented you are, the more sensitive you get from being mentioned, specially if that comes from someone who could have more access to their culture.
As for EA and SEA relationships, you know your culture looks down on most of us SEA. I came from a country that welcomes any foreigners yet still get discriminated in our own country by mostly Chinese and some Korean immigrants. And with the tension between China and their neighbors, adds fuel to the fire.
@@athenstar10 That's not true. Chinese people do not look down on SEA people. I used to live in Quezon City. My family and I adore the Filipino people, they hold a very special place in my heart and vice versa. We live in a misinformation era, where false news turns people against one another. do not trust everything you read on the internet.
@@athenstar10 I don't want to be an ignorant, but I must say that my family has only lived in Quezon City because my father works at ATS Asian Theological Seminary, so I can't claim to know everything about the situation in the Philippines. I'll have to talk to Filipino families I'm close with about it. - But, in terms of looking down on others, I hope you don't leave out the wealth gap from the equation. It's probably not an issue of race, I know a lot of Chinese/Koreans with higher incomes who look down on other Chinese/Koreans with lower incomes. I'm aware that this occurs with Filipinos as well.
I really not get offended by his word at all. But when he have so much influence. Its gonna affect the tourism of Cambodia. There a lot poverty in cambodia that really benefits most from tourists. Children in cambodia literally goes work bcos they can’t afford school. Its such a hardbreaking when uncle roger said all that when they really need people to help aid their tourism.
Comedians + media + clout chasing - like you said, it’s just how media is in 2023. Outrage gets attention and views
He was joking
@fungbros This can be easily be answered since u are friends with Uncle Roger, just ask him was he for real or just clowning .
Shout out to the hmong food
I don't care what he said about Lao and Cambodia foods. It's his opinion only.
Uncle Roger is a comedian. They key word "COMEDIAN"! LOL Also a person is has every right to diss on any food that he has tried and doesn't enjoy. Laos food is some of the best food in the world but that's my opinion.
If this is what you feel bad about, you honestly shouldn't be watching Uncle Roger at all. He regularly takes shots at British people, namely Jamie Oliver. One of his most popular quotes is "Use the right amount, not the white amount". This is the type of comedy that he does. Keep in mind that if you didn't get upset at this, but you did about his shot at Laotian and Cambodian food, you have "acceptable targets" and that says a lot more about you than it does about Uncle Roger.
Conan O'Brien does a similar type of humor as well. At one point, Conan went through the countries alphabetically just to see what countries his show aired in based on the angry letters received. it eventually led to his Conan Without Borders series further down the line where he just went around to visit different countries.
British people are 100% acceptable targets lmao why you running defense for those blokes
It's okay, and too bad Uncle Roger just doesn't know any better about Lao food like you guys. I am Lao from San Francisco.
This is one of the things which I think people tend to not understand when it comes to I guess like cancel culture and this other shit. People just take this sort of thing at face value, attributing it to just people getting soft and what not, but they do not dig deeper and truly understand WHY people get upset from various jokes and things like that. And we tend to look at words in a sort of arbitrary light, when words do indeed have their meaning to people.
Every culture certainly have their hit dishes, but I also believe certain cultures have better cuisines than others. That being I just got back from visiting Laos last month, and I enjoyed Laos food, but it wasn't my favorite cuisine.
But what exactly is better huh? Cause an nation’s stability, marketing, geographic location, access to trade, etc also plays roles on how different cuisines evolve. I think personal bias gets in the way more than anything else when it comes to liking something or not.
@@wegotit2587 Of course all those factors play a role on the creation of many dishes. That being said, in MY opinion, Laos cuisine doesn't rank high on my list of all time favorite cuisines.
Constructive criticism made funny
...
Hard to hold it against him. He's a comedian who's playing a character. Whether he was just joking or actually expressing his views is hard to say but everyone is allowed to have preferences. At the end of the day we're just talking about food. Lots of people don't like to get out of their comfort zone cause they're apprehensive about trying new things and just stick to eating to what they grow up with. They're people who we know, in our friend circle, family members. Do we get upset, call them out, and bash them? Don't think so.
I don't think anyone cares about his personal food preferences, but don't demote other cultural foods based on generalizations or untruthful prejudices. In other words, don't spread misinformation to your audiences who may see them as facts; defamations on a community of peoples or nations are serious matters with negative consequences.
@@amongroblox4788 If someone wants to make a mountain over an anthill that's their prerogative. Every person should use their own analytical thinking to form their opinion and not just take what someone said on a media platform at face value. People should take personal responsibility in how to think for themselves. What Uncle Roger said wasn't nice but whether the audience should be offended and perceive there be negative consequences it's really at each individual's discretion.
The implication that Laotian and Cambodian foods is essentially Thai's ($hitty versions) is ignorant and derogatory. Thailand came to be at a much later period of civilization than either of their neighboring countries. Several years a go, a Japanese statesman called "Americans are too Lazy," igniting outrage and condemnation by the US government. Stupidity has consequences, so be considerate.
Uncle Roger is a rich Chinese. He has zero exposure to real Lao and Cambodian food. He's a white adjacent Asian and would probably never dare go to the hoods where those two groups mostly live in US and try their food at their houses. Doubt he even knows a non white washed Laotian or Cambodian.
That's the thing. And we can see through his ignorant bullshit. Just because he's Asian that doesn't mean he has knowledge about any other Asian groups especially ones that's so different from Chinese.
And I'm 1000% sure he has no exposure to the hundreds of tribes of those two nations. He's basic as hell and only knows mainstream Asian stuff.
Cause no one cares about Laos. But seeing the other video of Uncle Roger and Ae, the sticky rice intrigue me.
I don’t take it seriously. It is a provocative comment but it’s funny.
Aye Bros, Unk Roger did the joint and proved that good prepared authentic food is always good, there are personal preferences tho..

Also point that whole talks are just power to elevate whole culture was made.🙌
Lao food nasty
I kinda don’t know what Lao food is 🤷🏻♀️
Because you're white adjacent and not a poc and been sheltered in the suburbs
Its the 90% same with Thai isan food, but less refined.
@@iROChakriAnd you know this how? Clearly you don’t know sh!t about Lao food, especially if all you ever see are these food bloggers going after extremes like Game Meat for example. That’s like saying all American foods must not be good enough if ALL you primarily see are foodies featuring Gator gumbo or Rocky Mountain Oysters!
If anything, Lao food is on another elevated level from Isan Lao-Thai, because modern Lao has evolved to incorporate French and Vietnamese techniques, while Isan’s primary influences are stuck within the Thai borders. Just look at how much more tastier Lao sausage Sai Oua is for example, in comparison to limited seasonings, fatty and sour Isan Sai Kork.
ngl... I really loved the UNcle Roger character when it first got popular for the first year or so but NIgel kept upping his controversial sayings more and more... and when the Ukraine-Russian thing first broke out, he immediately made an inappropriate joke about being glad he wasn't performing a show in the Ukraine. I don't believe in cancelling people most times but for some reason I felt the immediate happening turned me off of him for awhile...but I am back and have to remind myself that you don't censor comedy, if he was serious about talking shit about Ukraine/Russia as Nigel Ng, that's different.
Its a joke...people...
Just fo and eat some papaya salad with padek..an larb with bile
Honestly my to go is Vietnamese
Thai
Laos
Korean
Then chinese...lol
Are Vietnamese considers South East Asian or East Asian?
Native East Asians. Culturally/Historically East Asian, regionally Southeast Asian.
@@sombatkhnor5720 and racially? Genetics 🧬
@Shimra8888 maybe connected to the Chinese? I'm too sure about it.
@yehengmusic3521 all East Asians can pass for one another.
@@yehengmusic3521 they have darker skin tones you mean.
Guys taste is subjective. Why take offense? It does not make sense.
I know right cuz saying that "Lao food is the shit version of Thai food" is totally a respectful way to voice an opinion, there is no reason to get offended at all.
The outrage! 😂 grow a pair folks. It’s a joke and he disses on everyone
Wtpho,easy to said,but,he didn't make fun or insulted Vietnamese food.Its like saying,Oh I hate Chinese food because I don't eat dogs,covid didn't came from us.
I dont really care he said that-probably because he didn’t say Filipino food… but I can see how people would get in their feelings about this. When I first saw the video, I wasn’t really sure if he was joking or not. There was a sense of delivery and umph in that line that made it seem like he was more serious than trolling.
From a comedy standpoint, the joke wasn't funny. I think it would be great if he said something insightful where even Laos and Cambodian can laugh at themselves because the joke reveals some truth (Jim Gaffigan's bits on Chinese food comes to mind). Saying some food is sh version of something else is just very weak, comedically.
It’s interesting to see diff group have diff ego. You can diss Canadian food, for example, and nobody will get triggered.
Soft Gen Z easily offended by little things... Laugh a bit 🤣🤣🤣
This is the problem with people. You look at this from a very superficial lens because to YOU it's funny and does not matter, but you don't take the time to understand why people get upset. It's understandable that Lao and Cambodian people would get upset because their people groups are underrepresented and their food is a large part of their culture, and it's being shit all over by, what they may see as, an outsider who has a large platform and can cause people to have a negative outlook on Laos and Cambodian food and culture. Words and these sorts of things do matter because while words may not be objective, they have universal meaning to us and shape our perspective on the world around us.
This ain't about you. STFU. And please not just gen z so don't say anything unless you know for sure
Thais think lao food is better than thai. Singaporean food is basic mr roger
Uncle roger was always too performative and condescending for no reason
