I like my fried rice to have lots of ingredients. I don’t like fried rice with scummy bits of chinese sausage, egg, shrimp, etc. I prefer one that has lots of ingredients in it to make it a meal in itself! Each mouthful should have a tiny piece of everything.

There are many different kinds of fried rice. Some are bland and boring like the ones in the food court who mix plain white rice with a bag of frozen peas, corn and carrot. Some are super awesome like “special fried rice” with the lot (BBQ pork, prawn, chicken you name it.. its got it!) some have gravy on the top like Hokkien Fried rice with bits of duck ^_^ and some are different in colour such as the Thai prawn fried rice which is red.

This recipe was made for about 13 people or more for a family function held at my place. Without fail it’s a different fried rice that always gets the complements and fights for left overs that im always left with hardly any =(

What’s in it?

Unfortunately measuring cups weren’t in use its a matter of adding a crap load of stuff together! All up two large woks were used.

dried shrimp
salted cashews (raw peanut if your keen)
shallots
lap cheong (1 whole packet)
eggs (12 eggs was used in this instance)
garlic & ginger
dark soy sauce
light soy sauce
fish sauce
chicken stock

Show me how its done..

1. STEP 1: Pour chicken stock in rice cooker and wait until cooked. (You can either make yourself by boiling a whole chicken in hot water or if your completely lazy / short for time.. off-the-shelf chicken stock is also fine).
2. STEP 2: Fry eggs in a pan by making thin layers of scrambled egg omelets. More egg in the fried rice the yummier it is

1. STEP 3: Pour a little bit of oil in the non-stick wok and fry garlic and ginger until brown
2. STEP 4: Add the chopped lap cheong and fry until brown

1. STEP 5: Add the dry shrimp and mix
2. STEP 6: Once dry shrimp is cooked, add cashew nuts

1. STEP 7: Add cooked rice to the wok pouring dark and light soy sauce with a splash of fish sauce
2. STEP 6: Finally add shallots and egg.

1. STEP 8: Mix thoroughly and your fried rice should look something like below

Personally, I don’t know why I’m blogging about this.. I know everyones been here and I think its sooo much better than Max Brenners. I tend to come here for a chocolate fix and the hot churros that come straight out of the fryer (YEH BABYYYY).

I First had san churro many years ago in melbourne. Back then it was non existent in sydney and till now there seems to be san churros popping up everywhere. So make this short and sweet this is mainly going to be an eyecandy post

Sharing is caring!

Fondue for two
Best thing I love about this is sampling a variety of things. Wasn’t a fan of the popcorn but I did love everything else.

Tappas for two
To be honest i’m not a fan of their chocolates. Their chocolates are nothing in comparison to haighs, adora, lindt etc. I’d rather trade the chocolates for hot churros (one can only dream if this was an option)

Cakes & Icecreams

Super chocolate Sundae
Chocolate ice-cream, chocolate sauce, chocolate brownie and cream..  Chocolate everything! we were dieing from the over load of chocolate as this stage. If your a chocoholic this ice-cream would be the one you’d try!

Sticky date pudding

Chocolate Mousse Cake
This is were max brenners takes the cake! Their mousse and cake selections are better and nicer than San Churro.

Hot & Crunchy Churros

Best thing I love about churros is sharing it with a big group. For approx $32? you get a shit load of churros and you get all of the dips!! (caramel, white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, cream and ice-cream) ZOMGGGGG!!!!! bargain!!!

I also find its cheaper to come here than Max Brenners. Sharing churros for two only costs about $13!!!!! cheap cheap and soo good!
