During my earlier days in Mauritius went out with friends to eat fried rice (Riz Frit + poulet)with Chicken. After eating we told the lady we did not get chicken yet.


She was like shocked 😳 I served you with chicken already she said. We still couldn't get this 😏 She goes the Chicken is sliced with the rice already 😳


We then told her back home when we eat rice we have a piece of chicken placed over it. She smiled.


I always love to tell this story like I am here now πŸ™‚

For context, when I ordered fried rice with chicken in Nigeria, I was not expecting a piece of chicken just placed on top of it... hahaha.


That’s the beauty of different cultures! πŸ˜€
