Had an omu-rice meal in Hong Kong. This is the yummiest meal I had during my stay there.

From Wikipedia:

Omurice, sometimes spelled “omu-rice” , is a contemporary Japanese dish consisting of an omelet made with fried rice. Its name is a wasei-eigo (Japanese portmanteau) of the French word omelette and the English word rice. It is a popular dish both commonly cooked at home and can be found at many western style diners and izakaya restaurants in Japan. It is also a popular dish in many restaurants in South Korea and Taiwan.[1]

The dish typically consists of chicken rice (rice pan-fried with ketchup and chicken) wrapped in a thin sheet of fried egg. The ingredients that flavor the rice vary. Often, the rice is fried with various meats (but typically chicken) and/or vegetables, and can be flavored with beef stock, ketchup, demi-glace white sauce or just salt and pepper. Sometimes, the rice is replaced with fried noodles, yakisoba, instead of fried rice, to make omusoba.

Here’s an easy recipe for a chocolate muffin which I have tried.
