One thing I really like about @fuzaienterprise is how their menu isn’t just limited to noodles, they even have pao fan for the homies who love rice. Their Magic Pao Fan ($6 or $8 nett). At first glance it seems to be completely mundane, with rice, prawns, pork meatballs and sliced lean pork submerged in a savoury soup, but once you take your first spoonful, you’ll experience the magic.⠀
⠀
The secret behind the magic is the inclusion of the fried eggs into the rice. That egg has been imbued with an obscene amount of wok hei, and the eggs impart that stellar smokiness to the entire bowl. Most pao fan stop at just being fairly flavourful, but Fu Zai works their magic by adding extra smokiness & depth to the soupy rice bowl.⠀

If you’ve polished off a whole bowl of that magical pao fan but still can’t hit your protein, Fu Zai has you covered with their Sesame Oil Chicken, priced very affordably at $5.50 a serving. Lots of tender chicken chunks are cooked in a sapid sauce consisting of oyster sauce, Hua Diao cooking wine, shredded ginger and of course, sesame oil. It is a little oily, but it’s not egregiously so, and the heat from the ginger helps to cut down on the greasiness. It’s a simple chicken dish, but there’s no denying that it’s rather tasty.⠀

Thank you for having us, @fuzaienterprise , and thanks for inviting me @eatwithkeat!
