Have A Bowl Of Fragrant Pumpkin Rice

I was introduced to this delicious rice by my mom recently. These pumpkin rice can be found at quite a few foodcourts in S'pore selling double-boiled soups. I fell it love with it immediately & I knew I just have to make this at home too. The result: We love it!
