When Singaporeans just want some comfort food, fried rice is one of our top choices as it’s seriously satisfying and easy to eat.
However, not every version of the dish we can find has the requisite wok hei — the dizzying & addictive fragrance that fried rice connoisseurs crave.
Fried rice lovers know that at least one stall in Singapore offers up fried rice with the elusive wok hei at a reasonable price – King of Fried Rice.
Easties will be glad to know that the chain is opening their 4th outlet in Bedok.
According to their Facebook page, the new outlet is opening on Thursday (15 Apr).
King of Fried Rice seems to be expanding fast.
Those who’ve followed their story know that they started off with just 1 small outlet in the basement of Golden Mile Tower.
The popular outlet was bustling despite being in a relatively ulu location.
In Sep 2020, it finally opened a 2nd outlet in Sengkang, bringing their signature smoky egg fried rice to the north-eastern estate.
Knowing that people just couldn’t get enough, they opened a 3rd stall at the recently-revamped Chinatown Food Street earlier this year.
Now, hot on the heels of the Chinatown branch, comes its newest outlet in the East.
The Bedok outlet is located in FoodHub, a big coffeshop in Block 209.
It’s conveniently located near Bedok Interchange and Bedok Mall.
If you’re still not sure where, it’s right next to the 24-hour Sheng Siong Supermarket, which is in the same block.
From photos of the new stall’s frontage, it will offer the same dishes it’s famous for – egg, X.O., tom yum and mala fried rice.
Customers will also be able to choose to pair their rice with peppery pork cutlet or juicy shimps, as well as toppings like tobiko.
Judging from its other outlets, prices will start from about $6.50 for an egg fried rice with shrimps or pork cutlet, and going up depending on what else you top it up with.
We think it might be crowded on opening day, so if you’re craving fried rice that rivals Din Tai Fung, do go down early for your fix.
Here’s what you need to know to get there.
