Pineapple fried rice: savoury and sweet fried rice

I know that not everyone love food with sweet flavour, but for me, I think sweetness in food make it more delicious.

Such as this fried rice, it comes with not only savoury taste, the sweetness from pineapple and raisin makes it so additive. Actually it's so delicious that I really want to know who is the one who invent it, haha. How can he (or she) think about using pineapple and raisin in this rice dish, plus a lovely fragrance of the curry powder too?
Well, I don't know the answer but I know how to make it ^^. Making fried rice, you can use leftover (and cold) rice too, but you may not know that warm rice is better, as it won't stick together and not broken. Thai jasmine rice is the best for this dish, but when making cooking rice for making fried rice it's good to wash the rice throughly to remove the starch and your fried rice will be more beautiful (and delicious).
If you like you can sprinkle the roasted nut (esp. cashew nut), over the rice before serving to make it more delicious!!!
