- The theory that the name of the dish matters
In the entertainment district of Bukit Bintang, struggling to find a good restaurant, I finally settled down at a Chinese-style signboard. Not sure what to order, was it Nasi Goreng? No, it’s seafood fried rice! The taste was genuinely Asian! But if it had been labeled Nasi Goreng, I would have perceived it as such. - Taste Rating

- Seafood fried rice is a dish steeped in Chinese influence and is widely enjoyed at many Chinese restaurants and food stalls in Kuala Lumpur, a multicultural city in Southeast Asia. Unlike the Nasi Goreng of Jalan Alor, which is known for its sweet and spicy flavors with ethnic notes from Indonesia and Malaysia, seafood fried rice is characterized by its balanced taste and variety of seafood, as its name suggests. The essence of this dish is its freedom and creativity, often leaving the choice of ingredients and cooking methods up to the chef's expertise. The basic preparation involves stir-frying rice on high heat, adding seafood such as shrimp, squid, and shellfish, and enhancing the aroma with garlic, ginger, and green onions while seasoning with soy sauce and oyster sauce. As for the punchline, how about turning the adventurer's quest for "seafood fried rice"—a gourmet choice while wandering through the culinary streets seeking inspiration—into laughter by saying, "It seems like this dish was the perfect choice for those seeking thrill and adventure, but let's not turn your friends into 'lost taste buds' unless you're planning to become a local guide!"
