Pineapple Fried Rice

When I was living in Perth, Australia, one of the food joint that I visit quite frequently is Hans Cafe, an Asian Cuisine place that has a mix of Vietnamnese, Thai and Chinese. In fact there is one branch just 5 minutes walk from the place I'm staying so it's rather convenient for me which I often go for take aways. The other branch that I used to frequent with my mates is their branch in William Street, Northbridge which is in Perth's Chinatown.

One of my personal favourite is their version of pineapple fried rice. It's different from those regular Thai style pineapple fried rice which is yellow in colour and come with either pork or chicken floss as the topping/garnish. A plate will cost around AUD$6.50 which is enough for 2 pax if you are not a big eater.

Since I love to eat this pineapple fried rice so much, I decided to come out with my own version. Hope you will love it too! :)
