Pao fan (literally translating to ‘submerged rice’) has been popping into the limelight lately – it seems like we hear of high-flying chefs venturing into the pao fan hawker business every other month. And we aren’t complaining – this Chinese soup dish is our definition of comfort in a bowl.
Think cooked rice drenched in a silky, usually seafood broth, then topped with crackly rice puffs for that satisfying play of textures. And while Chinese restaurants typically do it in sharing portions with luxe fixings, we can now feast on wallet-friendly hawker options too.
Here’s our rundown of the best pao fan to slurp up in Singapore.
SINGAPORE - A 72-year-old Singaporean man, who works as an aviation screening officer at Changi Airport Terminal 1, is among the three new Covid-19 unlinked community cases reported on Saturday (Jan 30).
He developed a cough and sore throat on Monday, the day he received his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, but he did not seek medical treatment.
His job involves screening the baggage of arrival passengers via X-ray scanners, and directing passengers to the baggage screening lines.
On Wednesday, he went to work and was tested as part of rostered routine testing (RRT), and his test results came back positive the next day.
