From 12 Aug 2025 | Paradox Singapore Hotel
If you loved Por Por’s Big Fat Surprise Wedding, get ready for another unforgettable night of drama, delicious food, and dazzling music. Fried Rice Paradise – The Makan Party is dishing up an all-out culinary showdown where family ties are tested, recipes clash, and every bite could change the game.
After 38 years at the helm of her beloved Fried Rice Paradise restaurant, chef-owner Bee Lean is finally ready to retire. But which of her daughters will inherit her legendary wok? Fancy, the branding-savvy trendsetter with big dreams, or Nancy, the tradition-loving perfectionist who swears by the old ways?
The only way to settle the score? A high-stakes, four-course culinary battle – where you get to feast on both the food and the family drama. As rempah flies and tensions simmer, long-buried secrets bubble to the surface, setting the stage for a night of laughter, love, and unexpected twists.
Sing along to iconic Dick Lee hits like Bunga Sayang and Mustapha! Woven into this immersive dining experience, the songs will stir your senses, touch your heart, and leave you craving more.
Who will rise to claim the title of Boss Lady? You get to vote and decide.
Book your seats for a hilarious fun night out at the ultimate dinner theatre experience, where drama’s served piping hot with a side of sass! Bring your appetite, and let the feast begin!
Fried Rice Paradise – The Makan Party Menu
A four-course celebration of Singapore’s iconic flavours - each dish served two ways by sisters Nancy and Fancy. One pays homage to tradition, the other pushes boundaries. Classic or contemporary, which will steal your heart (and taste buds)?
