YUMMY Egg Fried Rice - made with love!

WARNING: if you're looking for a basic egg fried recipe, scroll past this

I still remember that sudden wave of egg fried rice hype that swept through Singapore during the pandemic. maybe it was because of Uncle Roger’s viral series of fried rice critiques, or all the new hawker stalls popping up around the island, many run by “ex-chefs” from famous restaurants like Din Tai Fung. who knows… fast forward to 2025—I’m glad I never found myself in one of those long queues. however, looking back now, I still wonder: was all the hype really worth it… for just one plate of fried rice?

for some, maybe it’s just another quick meal to fill the belly. for others, it’s the irresistible wok hei and rich flavours that keep them coming back but sometimes, a plate of fried rice can mean so much more—it holds a memory, a gesture of love, and the comfort of being cared for.

we met Clara, a paramedic officer from SCDF, who shared that egg fried rice is one of her all-time comfort foods. after a long or tough shift, her mum would always whip up a plate for her. the familiar aroma of fried rice waiting at home instantly lifts her spirits and makes the exhaustion of the day feel worth it.

we made this egg fried rice A LITTLE MORE special, with additional steps of creating and scraggly egg floss which we tossed into the rice, for additional flavour and texture - ‘cause I guess we’re EXTRA like that.

so maybe the next time you find yourself queuing for hours for a plate of fried rice, think twice—it might be even more satisfying to make your own (or better yet, have someone make it for you with love hehe).
