Red Rice Veggie Bowl ($13) One of the chefâs recommendations on the menu that Iâve been eyeing and finally went ahead to try. This is basically atas fried rice thatâs super delicious. The red rice is fried with pumpkin cubes, edamame, mushrooms, long beans and an egg, and you get to choose between roasted chicken or avocado to go with the carbs. I went with the roasted chicken breast, which wasnât the most tender, but fortunately not dry nor tough to chew. I think itâs seasoned with mustard so the meat isnât tasteless, and although it is just a teeny bit bland on its own, it goes well with the already-flavoured red rice. The portion of chicken given for $13 is substantial too - very value for money! I love the components in the red rice bowl - the red rice gives a lot more bite than regular white rice, plus it imparts a nutty flavour thatâs so addictive. The edamame and long brand add some sweetness and a little crunch, whereas the sautĂŠed mushrooms add an earthy flavour with some saltiness. The pumpkin cubes were harder than Iâm used to, but they still worked in this case as they kept their form and didnât disintegrate in the rice. Mightâve been even better if the pumpkin was softer, but overall I really enjoyed this fried red rice very much and have no complaints about my meal. Looks like I have to visit ABC more often to try more of their dishes and order this again!
