Everyone clearly knows, Thai "school rice" is the absolute best!!!  

Yes.  I agree.

However, perhaps it just tastes so good because young boys have huge appetites.

And, also because, the cooks at schools care about the children they cook for.

And, also because...the cooks are experts who cook larger batches of rice at one time.

I do not know the answer.

Sorry.

Note:  Of course, I know that you are joking...  But, I am not.

Madame insists on Golden Phoenix, marked as 100% and in the clear packaging (she says that in the silvered packing is too "new").

 

Tastes fine to me, but I'm no expert, I just eat what she cooks.

 

I think this is the stuff.

 

Also, I think that very few are as caring or meticulous about the quality of rice they buy, unfortunately.

However, judging by your many posts here on Thaivisa, I judge that you have been here a very long time.

And, if your "better half" refuses to buy nothing other than this "Golden Phoenix" jasmine rice, then I really will buy it and steam it.

(I use a Panasonic steamer, which is probably the best brand I know.)

One question that I do have, however:

Why does the packaging show Chinese Characters?  The only reason that I ask is that I am wondering if this packaging might be designed with Chinese characters because this product is destined for export.

Thank you.

I will definitely try it.

Hello, 

I have just a very short question:

What is the best jasmine rice brand, and what is the best jasmine rice within the brand's offering?

For example, I just bought Dragon Brand in Chiang Mai from the local market.  However, there are many brands with the word dragon included.

I am always searching for the very best quality rice, i.e. with no broken kernels, and the most fragrant, etc.

I do not care how much I pay, within reason.

But, I just do not know much about buying jasmine rice in Thailand.

I would welcome suggestions.

And then, I would try various suggested brands to taste for myself.

Anyway, I live rice.

I live rice more than bread which some say is the staff of life.

If bread is the staff of life, then what is rice?

I will attach a photo of the rice I purchased today, and anyone who might know something about this brand is encouraged to offer an opinion.

Thank you.
