"Nigel already has experience in the restaurant biz - he has six branches of FUIYOH! It's Uncle Roger in Malaysia - but Kawan will be his first UK opening, and he's teaming up with Keng Yew (co-founder of YiQi, San Hao, Dozo and The Eight) and Executive Chef Daren Liew (Nanyang Blossom, San Hao, Duddels and Hakkasan Group) to bring it to life."
"The 60-cover spot in Chinatown will be relaxed and informal, and the pan-Asian menu will follow a similar vibe. Rather than focusing on regional authenticity, the food will showcase Asian techniques and flavours adapted for British produce and tastes, with some playful fusion creations thrown into the mix. Naturally fried rice will feature at Kawan, with dishes set to include: Sarawak Pepper Belly Delight Chinatown Fried Rice Hainanese Chicken Chop Crispy Puff Chicken Wellington Wasabi Boom Boom Sausage Fish n Chips"
"Speaking about the opening, Nigel said: "I'm so excited to be launching 'Kawan By Uncle Roger'. Of course there will be fried rice on the menu, but with a partnership with Chef Daren Liew, there's going to be so much more than that - can't wait to show you what we've been working on! Oh, and my Uncle says he hopes Jamie Oliver pays a visit.""
Nigel NG (Uncle Roger) will open Kawan by Uncle Roger in April 2026 at 12 Macclesfield Street, London W1D 5BP. The 60-cover Chinatown restaurant will be relaxed and informal with a pan-Asian menu. The menu will prioritise Asian techniques and flavours adapted for British produce and tastes rather than strict regional authenticity. Fried rice will be a featured element alongside dishes such as Sarawak Pepper Belly Delight, Chinatown Fried Rice, Hainanese Chicken Chop, Crispy Puff Chicken Wellington, Wasabi Boom Boom Sausage and Fish n Chips. Nigel partners with Keng Yew and Executive Chef Daren Liew. More information at kawanlondon.co.uk.
