Chef Ranveer Brar, one of India’s most celebrated culinary personalities, is admired not only for his exceptional cooking skills but also for mentoring aspiring chefs and creating food-centric films that celebrate his passion for cuisine. Recently, he caught the attention of popular content creator Nigel Ng, better known as Uncle Roger, who reviewed Ranveer’s Indian-style fried rice in his trademark humorous and light-hearted style.
While the video was full of jokes and entertaining commentary, one particular moment stood out and is now getting a lot of attention online. In the clip, Chef Ranveer is seen preparing fried rice and warns against using Ajinomoto (MSG), saying it is unhealthy for children and may cause memory loss. MSG, or Monosodium Glutamate, is a common flavour enhancer often used in Chinese cuisine.
But Uncle Roger wasn’t having it. Sharing the clip, he added his own twist to the conversation. He said, “Why you giving fake news Chef Ranveer? MSG don’t cause memory loss. Trust me, Uncle Roger has been eating MSG my whole life. I still remember my b**** ex-wife Auntie Helen. And memory loss not always bad thing, some of us need it.”
He even joked further, “Who need therapy when you can just forget your trauma?”
The video was captioned, “Memory loss not always bad thing.”

The video gained traction online and accumulated over two million views. The comments section was filled with mixed reactions.
One user jokingly wrote, “I’ve been eating MSG since I was kid and still remember my childhood traumas.”
Another added, “One guy ‘expert’ that went to a Chinese restaurant said he had a headache the day after—and after that, MSG has been vilified.”
On the other hand, some users still expressed concern. “Yes, it does. Unfortunately, it’s toxic and it builds up in your brain. It even kills brain cells, and it’s harmful in different ways,” one comment read.
An individual shared, “See, I love you, Uncle Roger, but believe me, I would still hesitate to add MSG in my daily cooking. I’m okay consuming it in small portions outside in hotels. This is due to decades of MSG being looked down on in India. Not sure where it started, but it’s something we’ve all grown up hearing.”
Towards the end of the review, Uncle Roger praised Chef Ranveer’s dish and called it well-made and flavourful. He also shared his thoughts on Indian-Chinese cuisine, saying that he finds it “interesting” because it brings together Chinese techniques and Indian ingredients in a unique fusion.
