King of Fried Rice is a Singapore-based food outlet specialising in various iterations of egg fried rice.

== Background ==
King of Fried Rice was started by 25 year-old ex-Jumbo Seafood chef Lester Li.<ref name=":0">Khoo, Hedy. “[https://www.straitstimes.com/life/food/k-kings-of-food#:~:text=With%2017%20outlets%20to%20his,cutlet%20fried%20rice%20(%246.50). The A-Zs that rocked 2021: Kings of food]”. Straits Times. 18 December, 2021. Accessed 9 February 2022.</ref> In an interview, he said that hoped to “be the king of fried rice by giving consumers restaurant-style fried rice at affordable prices”. He cited that he and his friends’ love for fried rice was what inspired him to open a fried rice outlet,<ref>Foodie King. “[https://foodieking.sg/hawker/this-24-years-old-sporean-is-a-secondary-school-dropout-now-helms-an-fb-empire-with-11-outlets-across-the-island/ This 24 Years Old S’porean is a Secondary School dropout - Now Helms An F&B Empire With 11 outlets across the Island!]”. 25 June, 2021. Accessed 9 February 2022.</ref> and that he chose the name ‘King of Fried Rice’ because he believed that he had one of the best fried rice dishes in Singapore.<ref name=":1">SETHLUI.com. “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpaNYzbx79I&ab_channel=SETHLUI.com The Fried Rice Master of Singapore: King of Fried Rice]”. YouTube. 11 June, 2019. Accessed 9 February 2022.</ref>

The first King of Fried Rice outlet was first launched at Golden Mile Tower in 2018. Since then, the chain has expanded to over 20 locations in Singapore, with stalls in areas such as Yishun, Bukit Batok, Holland Village and Sengkang.

== Business Growth ==

=== Products ===
The outlet serves short-grain egg fried rice with options for add-ons such as fried pork cutlet, fried shrimps and other iterations such as Tom Yum or Mala fried rice. It has been touted as the alternative to Taiwanese restaurant chain Din Tai Fung’s egg fried rice.<ref>How, Mandy. “[https://mothership.sg/2020/09/king-of-fried-rice-sengkang/ Din Tai Fung alternative King Of Fried Rice opens outlet at Sengkang Kopitiam Square]”.
