The chicken skin, the judges had said, “wasn’t crispy” and the “meat didn’t fall off the bone”. It didn’t help of course that Torode chose to further fan the flames by posting on his Twitter account: “Maybe Rendang is Indonesian !! How on earth does one expect the chicken to be crispy unless you take it out and fry it?” she said. “To add insult to injury was the comment on how serving chicken rendang with nasi lemak was a mistake. Telling us to change the way we serve nasi lemak and rendang is like us telling them steak shouldn’t go with fries,” Khairul said.
