Steamed Fish with Fried Rice and Vegetables [Too salty #2] [お弁当]

 

Finally a mealbox from the same "company that offered mealboxes with a layer of grease at the bottom of the boxes" that didn't have a layer of grease when I finished my meal!

There in the mealbox, were three pieces of steamed white fish (not dory for sure) with some brown sauce, brown "fried rice" and steamed vegetables.

I think it was to mimic Cantonese food.  I always think Cantonese food has to be eaten when it is just cooked at eating places for it to taste as the cooks intended.  Anyone ordered take-away dim sum and actually enjoyed rubbery-skin hargow?

The mealbox was still slightly warm, so it wasn't too bad.  What I thought was a bummer was the "fried rice".  It was neither fried nor had any hint of wok hei that self-respecting fried rice should have.  There was no egg in the "fried rice" and neither were long grained rice used.  I really wished eateries would stop naming their inventions "fried rice" when they were so obviously not.  Fried rice is really difficult to get right, and many tze char stalls can't either.

I was silently cheering for the lack of grease in this mealbox when five hours after the meal, I was still feeling thirsty, having drank a lot of water after the meal.  This was not good.
