After finishing secondary school, Min spends her school holiday with her cousin Lilly in Kuala Lumpur. She daydreams of migrating to the United States to work in animation and submits an application to a prestigious art school in New York.

Fried Rice is a story about a young person wanting to leave home in order to chase a dream career and carve out her own destiny.

From the Author:

The story of Fried Rice is really close to my heart because it’s drawn from my real-life experiences. It’s the story of how I didn’t get to achieve what I thought I wanted and how I learnt to appreciate what I had in front of me. I really hope you enjoy reading it!
