Malaysian PM trolls MasterChef as contestant exits over dish
After MasterChef UK eliminated a contestant as her chicken rendang was not crispy enough, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak tweeted, "Does anyone eat chicken rendang 'crispy'?" The MasterChef judges' decision to eliminate the contestant was criticised in Malaysia and Indonesia, as rendang typically features beef or chicken slow cooked in a coconut-based sauce and is not meant to be crispy.
