Can I say "two rice" for "two sets of rice"?
If a stewardess in a plane ask two of us what we would like for lunch. "Noodle or rice?" she asks. And our choices are rice. Can I say: "Two rice, please." ?
Well, what is the usual and simple expression of "two sets of rice"? I am not saying about "two bowls of rice", since these are set-meals in plane.
If I say "two rices", does that mean just two grains of rice?
And if we choose noodle, what should I say? "Two noodle" or "two noodles"?
I am really confused. Please give me some illustrative examples. Thanks.

I think it would also be very natural to just say 'two rice' or 'two noodles' or 'one rice and one noodles'.
