If #riceislife for you, then you should definitely check these out!

There’s usually nothing that gets much better than rice, at least for us Asians mostly. It is equally part of the eating experience, as the other ingredients. But fried rice, fried rice takes rice to the next level.

We here at Booky love rice as much as the next person, so we’ve compiled a list of restaurants that serve some amazing fried rice. Check this list out and see which one you’d like to try!
