Friday's lunch in, TGIF!
A TGIF desk lunch: a cai fan plate of fried chicken, big fried prawns, egg with vegetables and broccoli, eaten in at the office.
TGIF! 😋 Lunch in at the desk to close out the week, and it was a properly stacked cai fan (economy rice) plate.
Piled on:
- Fried chicken, golden and crisp
- A couple of big fried prawns, shell-on and crunchy
- Scrambled egg with vegetables, carrots and onion through soft egg
- Broccoli for a bit of green
This is the everyday Singapore lunch hero: point at a few dishes, pile them over rice, done. The fried chicken was the kind with a crunchy, well-seasoned crust, and the prawns were the treat of the plate, big and crisp right down to the shell. The egg and vegetables kept it from feeling too heavy, and the broccoli rounded things out so it wasn’t all fried.
Not a fancy Friday, just a quick, generous mixed-rice plate eaten at the desk while wrapping up before the weekend. Cheap, filling and exactly what a busy Friday calls for. Sometimes the best lunch is the one you don’t have to leave the office for.
Overall: 4.4 / 5. 😋👍🏼 A generous, crunchy cai fan plate to see off the work week. Would re-do on a busy Friday.
