I was expecting flavoured rice, much like basmati rice, but it's only plain boring white rice. "Why do they call it "Jasmin" anyway?" They don't, it's called Jasmine rice, a reference to its Jasmine-like colour, not it's aroma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to be argumentative but I'm not sure you are correct- In Thai it is known as "hom mali"- literally "aroma of jasmine". 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The restaurants serve the cheaper rice. There are many marvelous varieties in Thailand, you just have to know how to cook it right, too much water and it’s awful. Buy always last years récolte. Basmati has the same problems, buy the good stuff. It is totally different grain to Thai rice .. We buy triple A . AAA first quality Thai delicious. There’s red rice, blue rice, black and brown, love the brown myself , and black with coconut milk and banana as dessert. I have a cook . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogradod Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I do not like Jasmine Rice and even less Basmati. The very worst is paraboiled rice. This is for the brands I have tried. But I have a Thai Wife who eats nothing like Jasmine Rice and restaurants serve anyway nothing else. At home, I eat Japanese Rice which is FAR superiour in taste for me. There is an American Brand "Kokuho Rose Rice" which is medium grain that is absolutely phantastic, too. But this one (see picture) is not available in Thailand as far as I know, so I need to stick to imported real Japanese short grain, which is extremely tasty, but as well extremely expensive.
