Have heard of King of Fried Rice’s existence within the same area — whilst I have yet to try King of Fried Rice (yes, I know; I am late but the queues are insane), but it’s interesting to see how yet another fried rice specialty shop has just decided to open in a coffeeshop that is merely two blocks away from King of Fried Rice’s Jurong East outlet at Blk 134 Jurong Gateway Road within Fu Chan Foodcourt.

Apart from serving up fried rice, Yummy Fried Rice also do offer patrons with other dishes such as a “Tasty Braised Pork Belly Rice” and a “Tasty Spicy Hot & Sour Soup”. For those interested in going for their fried rice, they offer three different variants (even though a fourth is listed on the menu; but that’s not available) — Egg, Mala and Tom Yum, whilst also allowing patrons to either have it plain, or with shrimp, pork chop or chicken chop. Opting for the Egg Fried Rice with Pork Chop, the egg fried rice was wonderfully done — there is an evidently eggy note with bits of egg speckled between the glistening and pearly short-grain rice; sufficiently flavourful to easily finish the entire portion without feeling overwhelming. The Pork Chop is indeed the meat to opt for here — really liked how their pork chop comes with juicy and tender; the browned exterior bearing a crisp texture, whilst also seasoned with pepper for a slight hint of flavour that made it especially delicious. Overall, a pretty good rendition of the Din Tai Fung-style fried rice at $6 a portion — well-sized to even share between two pax (you know; dine-in limitations in a coffee shop these days).

Can’t make a comparison between King of Fried Rice against Yummy Fried Rice — hadn’t tried the former despite its presence in multiple neighbourhoods these days for the queues isn’t something I would quite want to subject myself to. However, Yummy Fried Rice does make for quite a good alternative within the neighbourhood when the queues do get a little long at King of Fried Rice — considering the shorter waiting times here as well. A good option to consider dining at it in the area.
