What is the name of the Thai pineapple fried rice dish served in a hollowed-out pineapple?

The Thai pineapple fried rice dish served in a hollowed-out pineapple is Khao Pad Sapparot.

Khao pad sapparot is Thai fried rice made with pineapple, typically combined with rice, egg, onion, curry powder or other seasonings, and sometimes shrimp, chicken, or seafood. The pineapple contributes sweetness and acidity that contrast with the savory fried rice. Cashews and raisins are also common in restaurant-style versions.

The name is a transliteration of Thai: khao means rice, pad means stir-fried, and sapparot means pineapple. Presentation in a halved, hollowed pineapple turns an everyday rice dish into a distinctive centerpiece, especially in Thai restaurants serving visitors.

Some sources distinguish the ordinary pineapple fried rice, khao phat sapparot, from khao op sapparot, a more elaborate pineapple-baked rice preparation served inside the fruit. The spellings “pad” and “phat” both appear in English transliteration, so Khao Pad Sapparot is a standard and fair quiz answer. Khao Pad Goong specifically means shrimp fried rice.
