You can now get the best Malaysian food in Bristol from a shipping container
Kit Lee has ensured that a trip to the newly opened Rice Box at Wapping Wharf will feel familiar but also almost completely different to anyone who has visited his market stall, Fat Rice.
Some of the food first tested out at Fat Rice pop-ups at Bristol Legends nominees the Scrandit make an appearance here with only the tau yew bak (pork belly and shiitake mushrooms braised in soy sauce and spices) remaining from the market stall menu.
An enhanced journey through Malaysian cuisine – or Malaysian ‘hawker food’ as a blackboard here calls it – includes curry chicken (£9.50) and Belacan fried chicken (£9.50), with the steamed rice able to be upgraded to springy egg noodles tossed in a dark savoury sauce.

Former nuclear engineer Kit will still trade at markets as Fat Rice on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and be at this mini shipping container on Fridays and Saturdays.
Rice Box is at almost the furthest extent of Wapping Wharf on Museum Street which continues to gain in popularity due to new food offerings.
Kit continues to take incremental steps but whether you are getting his food from a market stall or this new shipping container, you know that you are getting the best Malaysian food in Bristol.
