Hi folks, pls share your thought on fragrant rice this CNY Which brand, specific range is the best of the best?

Rice from Thailand and India contains the least arsenic among rice varieties. Some rice have been found to contain high levels of arsenic due to the historical use of arsenic based pesticides.

Jasmine rice, sometimes known as Thai fragrant rice, is a long-grain variety of rice that has a nutty aroma and a subtle pandan-like flavor.

White jasmine rice is white, has a jasmine aroma and, when cooked, a slightly sticky texture. The aroma is caused by the evaporation of 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline. Jasmine rice has omega-3 fatty acids which maintain the brain and prevent Alzheimer's disease[citation needed]. It also has melatonin which helps with sleeping.

Brown jasmine rice has a flavor like oats and contains gamma oryzanol which can decrease cholesterol in blood vessels. Brown jasmine rice has vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B and beta-carotene and it contains antioxidants which support the working of nervous system and help fight cancer.

When I browsed through website from Malaysia, some people suggested "Birds of Paradise Fragrant Rice" and another rice I forgot what the name is but the packaging is pink color. Tried both and quite disappointed.

the pink one if not mistaken must be sunwhite or sunrice..quite hard to find true fragrant rice nowaday

I like pusa gold.
Owh wait.
Thats basmathi

Rambutan

cap serindit from siam.

Yea maybe... I'm still looking for a good one out there... think gonna try jasmine's next

long fong cho

i just buy those sell by kilo at pasar only. can choose & mix also. good fragrant rice look kinda translucent & less debris inside

beras siam

Jasmine brand jasmine fragrant rice has few different range/model, lately they offering a CNY special packed in thailand model (the packing with two elephant drawing on it), i jus bought 5kg pack to test it out, but yet to cook lol...



another one i bought to test was the Royal Umbrella that won the "Best Rice Award" in World Rice Conference.



Both priced around 40rm for 5kg.

I agreed !! Those brand/model like Birds of paradise, jasmine sunwhite, or even long fong cho, the quality is not consistently good, well, these famous model used to be quite decent but not anymore, the price is higher due to heavy advertisement perhaps.

Rambutan and also the Rama-Rama brand still quite okie, but the Rama-Rama rice is not as clean as before, found sand/tiny rock inside in recent batches.

Jasmin vacuum packed is really nice.

tried for a couple months already and get bored.


to get the best juice. warm the rice around 15 minutes before cook it


Now I just bought Lotus ( fully imported from Siam)

i prefer the pink packaging one. Thot jasmine sunrise if not mistaken. The taste and smell is like sushi i bought from tesco.. wonder if tesco use the same brand rice

Japanese rice

royal umbrella

U tried the Jasmine Royal Siam for few months and get bored with the taste de? was it good?

Mind teach me how to warm the rice 15min? using warm water or sun-bath it or oven toast it with low heat setting?

Japanese rice too sticky for normal dishes lol..

Try them and let us know ya

Jasmine rice not suitable for fried rice due to sticky texture.

How i solve the problem, I mix it with local super rice (AAA).

after u tried the royal umbrella, your face looks like ur avatar here?

different province produce different characteristic
I bought a mag bout jap rice back in HK.
will post the pages when I back to home.

yes..exactly same...

Oh thanks in advance! I like ur passion in this topic. Keep it up.

well, honestly, jus looks too sexy to be true..

bcos its contain piteira...make my lips growing

Totally agree. Basmathi rice is the best, my whole house smells nice when the rice is boiling.

I like Pink Lady brand........

which variety of Basmathi rice u r referring when u said best? is it the genetically modified basmati by Indian Agricultural Research Institute known as the hybrid basmathi, Pusa Basmati-1 PB1? pls share a pic of the packaging if u r passionate enough here

let me take a picture home but don't think I can post it here cos my company block many website. I bought it at jaya Grocer, the 2 kg pack.

Excellent!! with ur packaging pic i can shop for it at jaya grocer! Promise u I would think of u when I eat rice this CNY.

5 grain rice is good for your health comparing with white rice.
