Fried Rice SG - The Wok-Hey-Lookalike in Royal Square @ Novena

 Fried Rice SG - Restaurant Front

Following the rising popularity of Wok Hey, I wasn’t surprised that someone would try to replicate their success. The Wok-Hey-lookalike is aptly-named Fried Rice SG because it specializes in fried rice. 

Menu 

Fried Rice SG - Fried Rice Menu

Fried Rice’s menu consists of Standard Series, Crafted Series and Side Dishes.

Standard Series features plain fried rice with different toppings while Crafted Series has different flavors of fried rice.

Standard Series 

Fried Rice SG - Egg Fried Rice

There are altogether 4 choices in the Standard Series. This is the basic Egg Fried Rice 葱花蛋炒饭 [S$5] without any topping. I find the quality comparable with Wok Hey’s and the portion size is pretty generous too. 

There is also Pork Chop Fried Rice [S$7.90], Chicken Cutlet Fried Rice [S$7.90] and Sautéed Prawn Fried Rice [S$6.90]. 

Crafted Series 

This is where things gets interesting and different from Wok Hey. There are 10 different combinations of fried rice bases and toppings to choose from. 

Fried Rice SG - Gam Hiong Prawn Fried Rice

This is Gam Hiong Prawn Fried Rice 甘香虾 [S$8.90] where the fried rice is infused with spicy dried shrimp sambal (hae bee hiam). The spicy dried shrimp sambal makes the fried rice really fragrant but I find it a little too salty for my liking. 

Fried Rice SG - Italian Herbs Chicken Fried Rice

I also tried Italian Herbs Chicken Fried Rice 香菜鸡丁 [S$8.50] at the recommendation of the staff. I can’t really taste the Italian herbs, it just tastes like a saltier and darker version of the regular fried rice.

Side Dishes 

Fried Rice SG - Side Dishes Menu

Fried Rice has some pretty interesting side dishes.

Fried Rice SG - Chilli Crab with Mantou

Chilli Crab with Mantou 辣椒蟹肉与蒸/炸馒头 [S$17.90] is perfect for those of us who love to eat chilli crab but lazy to peel crab. The shelled crab meat is  cooked with distinctively-Singaporean sweet and spicy chilli sauce. The restaurant doesn’t stinge on ingredients either, they give you half a box of chilli sauce loaded with crab meat. The 6 pieces of fried mantou is definitely not enough, I ate a whole loaf of bread with it. 

Fried Rice SG - Ah Ma's “Dangui Chicken”

According to the owner, Ah Ma’s “Dangui Chicken” 阿嬷当归纸包鸡 [S$4] is made according to the recipe that his grandmother passed on to him. The chicken is tender with a lingering taste of the Chinese dangui herb. 

Fried Rice SG - Signature “Kong Ba Pa”

Signature “Kong Ba Pau” 招牌扣肉包 [S$2.80 for 1 piece, S$8 for 3 pieces] didn’t disappoint. The thick pork belly slice is flavorful and cooked so well that you won’t find it oily at all. The soft fluffy lotus bun and crispy lettuce makes this a satisfying snack. 

Fried Rice SG proves to be more than just a Wok Hey copycat. Besides the normal egg fried rice, Fried Rice SG also serves creative fried rice combinations and delightful side dishes.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
