While everything was great , it was the last that was the delight . Although we 'd been eating some version of vegetable fried rice for either lunch or dinner every day , it was the first time we were served vegetables that had n't been diced to microscopic proportions mixed in the rice . It was n't overcooked , either , but just right , with the amount of rice to vegetables roughly equal .

Question: Why was the dish different than usual ?
The vegetables had a coarser dice , the rice and vegetable ratio was equal , and rice was n't overcooked .
