King Of Fried Rice – DTF Style at SengKang Square Kopitiam

king of fried riceKing of Fried rice has opened his second new outlet at Kopitiam Square, Sengkang today, 30 Aug 2020. Their first outlet is at basement of Golden Mile Tower. He is famous for his fried rice with many regulars spotting the similarities to the restaurant standard type of fried rice from Din Tai Fung. Their menu includes affordable pork chop egg fried rice rice, shrimp fried rice and other base flavours for fried rice. They do not have Food Panda or Grab Food delivery for now.

King of Fried Rice

king of fried rice sengkang menuVoted as the best fried rice in Sengkang by his supporters, it is worth your trip down to try this. With so many raved reviews on the King of Fried rice on social media such as Instagram and Facebook, you got to try this now or later. Unlike its Golden Mile outlet, sitting space is plenty here.

Eggs are nicely incorporated amongst the rice grain with generous amount of whites n yolks in tender aromatic laces and chunks. Light wok hei to it and nice aroma of some Chinese cooking wine that lingers inside your mouth. One can easily polish off a plate of rice and the amount is very filling too. Every mouthful is a burst of different flavours, eggy aroma with fragrant rice grains and super fresh chopped spring onion. Good balance of sweet and savoury.

pork cutletThe dome of fried rice is topped with a generous slab of pork chop seemingly marinated with five spice powder. Chopped into ribs of pork chop for ease of consumption.

chilliThis chilli oil is on the saline side which I like and helps to complement the flavours of the main ingredients like shrimps n pork chop which has a sweet savoury flavour. Do not go overboard with the fiery red chilli oil as it is on the saline end with prominent texture of crisp chilli flakes n salt granules. The heat is non-existence but in place is a smoky deep chilli flavour that is brought out by spooning hot oil on dried chilli pepper flakes and some other grounded spices, my guess.
