Real facts

The Pineapple Fried Rice is a famous delicacy in Southeast Asia (particularly Thailand) and ethnic minorities in southwestern China. Unlike other fried rice, Thai fried rice focuses on Thai rice instead of other rice to cook the dish. It can use any ingredient as long as it doesn't affect the pineapple's sweetness/sourness.
Curry (/ˈkʌri/, plural curries) is an umbrella term referring to a number of dishes originating in the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent. The common feature is the use of complex combinations of spices or herbs, usually including fresh or dried hot chillies. The use of the term is generally limited to dishes prepared in a sauce. Curry dishes prepared in the southern states of India may be spiced with leaves from the curry tree.

Trivia

Like the Jet Black Curry Laksa, the fried rice actually originated from Southeast Asian countries (Thailand) instead of Chinese.
This is Miyoko's first dish to be displayed in the manga series.
