Bought some Thai Jasmine rice the other day from Big C, my missus even said that it was suspect, looking at the grains and smell after cooking.

The quality was very poor.

Chinese have no shame when it comes to wanting to make a buck. Can you think of something they can’t copy and sell?

Well two wrongs don't make a right, and of course the Thai rice producers will not want these knock-offs on the market.
