Comedian Nigel Ng, also known as [Uncle Roger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-cooked-bowls), teamed up with authentic Chinese street food brand [MìLà](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-dan-dan-noodles) to launch a limited-edition Uncle Roger x MìLà’s Creamy Chili Crab Pasta Kit. This kit comes with bundles of bucatini pasta, two [creamy chili crab sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carmine) in medium and hot spice levels and a packet of oil made from one of the hottest peppers on the planet, the Carolina Reaper.

Inspired by the taste of chili crab in Uncle Roger’s native Malaysia, this kit is full of bold flavors that are enhanced with aromatic garlic and lemongrass. Fans of spicy flavors can easily customize the pasta to their liking, and a friend or partner can also enjoy their share without being overwhelmed by spicy flavors if that's not their preference.
