syiok lah, but the rendang would have been better if there was M&M and jelly beans in it

by the by, both our granddads were with the Royal Victorian Khyber Rifles
that's why and how we know all about roti prata, raiti, tikka, biryani and dhal ... oh yes ... and namaste-rendang 





KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 — MasterChef UK appears to have denied that judge Gregg Wallace criticised a Malaysian contestant’s rendang for not having crispy chicken skin, despite footage of the episode online.

A spokesperson for the BBC show said at no point did Wallace mention the chicken rendang prepared by Zaleha Kadir Olpin should have crispy skin.

His dubious critique of the curry, along with comments from co-star John Torode, saw Zaleha, 48, booted from MasterChef UK at the quarterfinals stage.

“Gregg wasn’t suggesting that the dish should traditionally have crispy skin — he was saying that he couldn’t experience the flavours of the dish as it was presented,” a MasterChef UK spokesperson said.

“MasterChef has always celebrated international cuisine and on this occasion our judges’ comments were relevant to the dish that had been cooked on the show.”

The statement added that Zaleha didn’t leave the competition because the chicken skin of her rendang wasn’t crispy, but she went out because other cooks were better.

For her quarterfinal entry, Zaleha prepared a nasi lemak with chicken rendang and prawn sambal.

Wallace told the Kuantan-born chef in his feedback “the chicken skin isn’t crispy, it can’t be eaten.”

MasterChef UK seemingly suggest Wallace’s comments merely observe the chicken skin isn’t crispy rather than saying it should have been.

Their rebuttal comes after a day which saw debate over the Zaleha’s chicken rendang brought into the national spotlight, even drawing a response from prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.


And Torode did not say 'namaste'. He was misheard. He actually said 'niamah leh'.
