Uncle Roger's fried rice restaurant chain will be opening an outlet in Johor Bahru (JB).

The comedian opened his first restaurant back last year in September at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
The grand opening saw long queues of people hoping to try Uncle Roger's fried rice.
A university student even told Malay Mail that he was willing to queue three hours in advance on its grand opening day.
The upcoming outlet in JB will be his fifth outlet.
Who is Uncle Roger
Uncle Roger, whose real name is Nigel Ng, is a Malaysian comedian.
He shot to fame back in 2020 when he released YouTube videos commenting on videos of people cooking fried rice.
Some were up to his standards while chefs like Jamie Oliver's egg fried rice, which used olive oil and chilli jam, were not.
The comedian then went on to open his fried rice restaurant chain in 2024.
