Went all the way to Khatib for Chef Kin HK Wonton Noodle, only to discover
a horrendous long queue with almost 30 people at 4:30pm Saturday
afternoon.
Being busy people and baby at home with no time to waste , we straight away went to Wisteria Mall which was right opposite the block.
As we searched for potential dinner option, we chanced upon King of Fried
Rice, a familiar name which we have heard positive reviews
before.
King Of Fried Rice is known
to have their Din Tai Fung style pork cutlet fried rice, the owner
started out at Golden Mile Tower in 2019 and has expanded to various outlets across
Singapore.
We ordered their signature Pork Cutlet Egg Fried Rice ($6.90, which is
slightly pricier than the $6.50 at the first outlet) which arrived glistening
in shine. Overall, the taste was comparable to Din Tai Fung ($10.80++) even
though the short-grain rice wasn't 粒粒分明. The freshly fried pork cutlet was
slightly salty but I guessed the bold seasoning and the heavy grease are
reasons that make it a crowd-pleasing dish. Do expect longer waiting time
during peak hour. We waited ours for 20 mins after the order at around 5:30pm.
Besides Din Tai Fung, the franchise of King of Fried Rice also reminds of
Wok Hey found in various malls. However, for Wok Hey whose fried rice is
more expensive, the standard of the fried rice is not
consistent.
With the rapid expansion of King of Fried Rice, do not be surprise if it
opens an outlet in your hood next time~
Chef Wang Fried Rice, a stall opened by an ex-Shangri-La & Din Tai Fung chef at Beo
Crescent Hawker Centre in 2021, The concept is similar and it also
sells Pork Rib Fried Rice at S$6.50. The pork is neatly sliced
and less salty, though the grains tend to be more clumpy. I personally
would prefer King of Fried Rice given the long waiting time .
