Brands rise up to the "crispy rendang" challenge

Chicken rendang be crispy enough?
Zaleha Kadir Olpin’s elimination from Masterchef UK made international headlines after Malaysians caught wind of the fact that the judges Gregg Wallace called her chicken rendang not ‘crispy’ enough.
“The chicken skin isn’t crispy, it can’t be eaten,” said Gregg to Saleha, when she presented her nasi lemak and chicken rendang to the panel of judges. Of course, this led to much horror to every Malaysian.
And of course, brands couldn’t resist joining the “crispy rendang” marketing challenge.
