Bol Renversé or Upside down bowl you say ?!

How do you want your egg on the Bol Renversé ?
Not quite sure about the origin of the Bol Renversé except that it tastes really good and might be uniquely mauritian as this is a dish I have never seen anywhere else. Rice , stir fried vegetables and meat and a fried egg on top ! The whole combination is very tasty. There is definitely a chinese influence in this dish but I would not call it a chinese dish per se. I am sure if you go to China and ask for something similar they will certainly not have a clue what you are talking about !
