Affectionately known as Kiam Png – which unfortunately is left open ended in translation as salted (kiam) rice (png) or dishes (to accompany a meal) rice (png).
Regardless the correctness, it is absolutely correct to say this is a comfort food and absolute in yummy-ness. Easy to assemble, just a few added steps that seals the umami magic. Pls enjoy.
