MOverheard at King of Fried Rice - “1 hour wait, better be good.” Secretly having the same sentiments in my heart. 😂

You’d probably have heard of this cheaper rendition of the Din Tai Fung-style fried rice located at Golden Mile Tower. A simple menu consisting 4 different types of fried rice; Egg, X.O, Mala and Tom Yum. Wanted to try all, if I had the stomach space that is. Both flavours of fried rice were enjoyable in their own ways; X.O fried rice was slightly spicy but packed with umami flavour, especially by the dominating dried seafood. To tell if a plate of fried rice is excellently executed, the most basic egg fried rice would give the best answer. Every grain was fluffy and moist, as the entire plate was filled with whiffs of eggy aroma.

There’s protein selection of shrimp or pork cutlet. While fried rice here was the star, neither of the protein impressed us. I agree with some that the pork was well marinated with hints of black pepper, but it was tougher than DTF’s, more chew required. I liked the additional tobiko which gives an extra popping sensation though and the homemade chili oil is a must!

I would really love to return to try their Mala and Tom Yum fried rice but probably during off-peak hours. 1 hour wait (it’s a 2 men show and maximum 2 plates of rice fried at a time), maybe not.
